Ofna .26 In 2.5 T Maxx?

[zee28]

I see Ofna has a .26 Picco Max motor. Has anyone tried this combination, and is Ofna a decent motor. My T Maxx is also stock, will this motor tear apart the drive train? Just not sure which motor i should replace mine with. The OS 21 TM seems like a likely choice bit at just under $300 it's a little pricey for a backyard banger.

Yep. Great engine, I've got one in my 3.3 maxx and can't keep the front down. If you gear it up to a 24 tooth bell though it'll tone it down and give it a speed of about 55 mph.

Here's a link to a video of mine with the Picco in it. [ame]http://youtube.com/watch?v=aEJdCL6wLRc[/ame]

You might want to get a new pipe since the stock one has too small of a stinger and would be pretty restricting.

Oh, and I've yet to have a drivetrain problem with the engine. That includes spur gears and slipper pads.

Protect the heck out of that awesome looking cooling head though. It sucks to pay that much and have it get scratched.

That looks awesome, is that with the 24 tooth clutch gear in the video? and what type of wheelie bars should i use?

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Yep, 24 tooth. There's a wheelie bar for the 3.3 that comes stock. You can find it on Tower for 17 bucks. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMJC8&P=7

Also, if you ever need parts for the engine you can find them here: http://nitrohouse.com/picco 26 max.htm

Good luck!

Do these picco engines require a new chassis or do they just drop in?
