witch one do you guys think is the better motor for racing?

Why do you only have two choices?

[Ricky Torres]

what other motor ideas do you have?

[theseanster7]

I think you should get the biggest baddest monster truck engine out on the market.

[pottsgroverc]

what other motor ideas do you have?
Does it have to be a mid range motor?
What do you want to spend?
What are your intentions...racing or bashing?

[Ricky Torres]

the motor can be anywhere from a .21-.28
anything from $290.00 and under
it's going to be used just for racing.

i'd get the sirro.

but if you want a crazy fast engine get the o.s. .21 v-spec.

[Greg B]

O.S. has dropped the .18 engine that was currently available for the Revo. They have however made a .21 that will bolt right in the Revo with no modification. This would be a great choice for the Revo but thats only my opinion...

I would go with the O.S. V-Spec for about $300.00 (whats another 10 bucks?). However, you will have to check with your club racing rules. If you go by RC Pro Series rules, you can't race with a .21 and over unless you increase the weight of your truck. But anyway, if you are willing to spend the money, I know you wouldn't be dissapointed. However, if you have a stock drivetrain through, you will probably tear it up.

[Taqrin]

Have you checked out the SH motors or STS's? They have more bang for the buck. They have some of the highest HP for thier size and a great power curve.:cool:

Depends also on what you want , the Picco .28 is gonna need a big block kit to install it and a side exhaust to work properly , you will also need a starter box .

The RB TM523 will bolt in , has its own rear exhaust system , you can use the EZ starter , pull starter , or roto starter .

The Picco probably has more power , but the RB is simpler to install .

But are monsters and will make the REVO fly , you might have to upgrade the drivetrain too .

[Ricky Torres]

WHAT!!!
will it work if I get the BB. kit and grind the suspension arm and the engine mount?
I seen this for the picco .21max,,, I figured that it would work because the picco .28 and .21 are the same sizes on the outside
(engine cases are the same)

I would just get the big block conversion kit. Racing, I would go with the RB engine if that is your two choices.

Sure you could shoehorn it in there if you want too . I think youre getting the P3 .28 mixed up with the Picco .26 MAX , it will bolt in and uses the stock exhaust ....

[Ricky Torres]

LOL! thats the motor that i'm talking about, the P3 .28.............
