Sorry for the late response,been busy and haven't been on in a while. I can hook you up with one :) Response sent to your PM
Do you still make the adapters.

So for years we have known the best pipe for a Picco was a BB pipe. I have found the Ofna 086 is considered to be the best out there for it. The Traxxas 3.3 also runs really good on a .21 buggy pipe too.


PROBLEM though....the exhaust outlet for the Picco and 3.3 is the size of a small block engine. The only way to adapt it is to use a stack of gaskets and it never really works like I wanted it.....

THIS IS TOO SMALL FOR A BIG BLOCK PIPE!!!

Until Now....I was talking to Racer1966 and he milled an adapter out of billet aluminum. Slides right over the exhaust port and pop on a standard big block exhaust gasket and you are in business!!! Thing is PERFECTLY milled ZERO slop what-so-ever!

Simply put on on a rubber o-ring in the milled pocket and install it on the engine.

I have Ofna JL .28 Max, I need an adapter for my BB pipe THS146B. can you make it for me Racer 1966 Please?
 
Actually I had quit making them but I have enough requests that I am going to make a small batch of them. They should be ready by the end of the week. I will send details in a PM
 
Are you still making adapters? I just purchased a .28 jl maxx for a tmaxx and was wondering what pipe options would be best and if there was a possibility you had any of these left. Thanks.
 
What bb header and pipe would you recommend for the tmaxx with a .28 jl engine?
Robin at ERCM (who is a supporter here with his own area on here) makes great pipes and could probably be your best source.
 
I will make those header adapters for anyone that needs one,cheap. PM me if interested. Shipping 3 to Guam tomorrow.

Looks good installed Joe!


dub c,what are you using for your header seal?
Hi you still making the adaptor for a picco 26 max so you can fit a big block pipe to it. I know this is an old post but i figured i would ask
