PICCO .21 vs. Sirio .18TX

[Thaiger-Maxx]

Have heard/read a lot about the Sirio .18 and there is a .21 coming out soon from Picco, both of which are to be direct fits for the 2.5 w/easy start. My question is around backyard bashing vs. racing. I've been told that both of these manufactures put out strictly racing engines and you will compromise bashing. I think on paper the .18 is around 1.9HP and the .21 is 2.2HP. I realize it is hard to give opinions on something that is not out yet, but what would be the considerations between the two? I'm tired of being outrun by my buddy's Savage w/Picco .26

i just got the sirio today and i wana no wats gonna b faster and more reliable because if the picco is im going to wate to put my motor on and if thats the case im gonna get my money back and get the picco but the sirio looks soooo cool :)

ur goin to have to buy cvds if u get the .21 cause its goin to have too much power for the stock axles to handle

You need cvds with the sirio also.I've had mine for about 21/2 gallons.the stock axles lasted about 2 tanks.Twisted them up like a candy cane.The diffs will also need some help in the future.I keep blowing the spider gears.The picco sounds like it will be a good engine if you have the money for the diff upgrades and then tranny gears.Total about $400.00 plus the motor.Slowhanddd
