picco needs a pipe

[mckinney03]

I have a traxxas tmax,with a picco.26. Whats a good ex.pipe to use on it.

i use a 3.3 pipe on it

this is a problem. The picco really needs a Big block pipe to run correctly. I have managed to fit a dynamite 053 midrange pipe on mine. Its awesome, really opened her up. It is not a dirrect fit, and took some "tweaking"

The 053 is a decent pipe but the Ofna 086 is much better suited to the Picco Maxx engines. I would get one of these makes the fitting of a big block pipe much easier. The Stock 3.3 pipe will "work" but it will be very far from giving you the performance you want and need from the engine. Also keep in mind too much back pressure is a bit hard on the engine, mine ran really hot until I got a better pipe. It ran a ton better after I swapped it out.

Is this on a TMaxx Dub C?

If so, any photos of it fitted?

How about the ths pipe..any good..

I have the THS pipe on at the moment. Seems pretty good. But I can't help thinking am I missing out on something lol.

I run the THS pipe on mine and it seems to do fine. Unfortunately I haven't run any other pipe on my Picco other than the THS. My understanding is that the THS is high flow for the 3.3and not neccessarily a big block pipe, but does well for the Picco. An Ofna 1/8 pipe would work better but poses more difficulty mounting due to size.

look close to the manifold you will see evidence of a bend I put in it. also notice the scary amount of clearance to the shock tower. It barely fits. I'm still waiting for a monoblock to fix my problems.

Looks good! That is a close fit another 1/4" or so and it would be long requiring moving of your RX box. I run a roll cage so I'm not sure it could work for me. This is the THS installed with the RC raven cage.View attachment 10975

One more thing...do u think the ofna pipe will clear the stock plastic shock mount..

If you want an adapter for a BB pipe - PM me.

I dont know it it will clear a plastic shock tower I've never tried. You WILL need to give the manifold a "tweak" or 2 regardless. Remember that this pipe DOES NOT fit! But a crafty tweaker can make it work.
