Hi,

Can anyone tell me if I can install a picco .26 big block on my Tamiya tg10 mk.2 first edition. Will the engine fit the mount of this rc car and wil it fall in place with my throttle or do I have to adjust the whole car.. Thnx..

Kind Regards,

Nope, will not be a direct drop in if it’s a BB engine. You need to stick with a small block for best results in a 1/10th scale on road.
You wouldn’t even want the .26 in a 1/8th scale on road.

Kind Regards,

Any small block .12/.15/.18 engine with the correct crankshaft and exhaust port (side or rear depending on the car setup) and carb (slide or rotary depending on setup) will work.
Picking an engine depends on how much you want to spend and the quality you’re willing to pay for.
If you’re new to the hobby, I would recommend a cheaper RTR engine to gain some tuning experience and then step up to the better quality engines once you have some experience under your belt.
