I just purchased my revo three months ago (used). Before I really got it tuned in well I began watching videos about the picco .26 and became interested. I recently bought a picco .28 (not yet installed) but now that I have learned to tune the car in I have noticed that the 3.3 is really fast and powerful. I wonder if buying a picco and motor mount really worth it? Is there a big jump in speed? The 3.3 is supposed to be good for 45mph - I have seen it clocked at 41mph - anyone have stats for the picco? How much faster is it really? The picco .28 is 3.1 hp, what is the 3.3 rated at?

noir522 I'm not sure how much power you want but I have the Picco .26 max in a Revo and the 3.3 is a joke, If you put the .28 in your Revo you may want to consider getting a Forward Only Conversion because you will get sick of flipping it back on its wheels all the time, the acceleration will be nuts.

how could removing reverse possably keep it from doing backflips????????

Brent Davis

LOL. That one aint right. I did the forward only conversion and on the bumper it stays.

Just recieved my revo yesterday and was wanting to know why does everyone switch to a FOC set-up..?

Brent Davis

Less rotaional mass in the trans=more power as well. I didn't want to get rid of reverse either at first but after teh conversion, you never even thought you had or used reverse in the first place.

get any speed increase..? Is it very hard to change ?

TheKennyKiller

my reverse select servo died so rather then get a new servo i got a foc for the same price ... and if you jump your truck it can some times select reverse after a hard landing foc takes care of this aswell

TheKennyKiller

not much on the speed but i installed mine in about 45 mins was fairly easy just keep an eye on bearings make sure they are all in place ... look at this http://www.rcbros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=774

I have the forward only kit...and was going to install it but before I did I wanting some opinions...also not sure if it would be a major project..? Thank`s for the help

Personally I like having reverse.
I even installed it in my Savage (which does not come with reverse).
I just bash so I really cannot see where a bit of weight and rotational mass can/would make that big a difference
And, like I said, I like having reverse. But that's just me. Others preferences will be different

hayabusagreg

same here ..I`m not going to a track to race just trying to beat my neighbor`s T-max...last week he started talking some crap and about how his t-max would KILL any revo...so i bought one to prove him wrong...plus I wanted a MT and now it`s ON..!

If you want to limit wheelies (or not have them at all) a center diff and rear brake is the way to go. Probably a good idea to atleast do the FOC, especially with that kind of power. After a tank or 2 you won't miss reverse at all. Let us know how it goes.

hayabusagreg

ok...FOC it is...Thank`s . Also can the Revo`s drive-line handle a BB..? I have a new motor that`s sitting in a buggy and i`ve been reading some threads about a motor swap...is it worth it..?

If you're running a BB and are worried about your tranny get this http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info...oducts_id=1060
