I installed a Picco .26 Max in my Revo a few weeks ago. It is finally broken in(At just over a gal. of fuel she has awaken!!) All have to say is this thing is ridiculous!! It is running in between 210-235 at the plug and I can hardly keep the front wheels on the ground lol!! I'm running 17/36 gearing, THS 146B Exhaust(true BB exhaust), tekno ball bearing linkage, and a BB Motor Saver filter. On my next run I will take some video...

07-22-2012 05:41 AM #3The one I bought from you now has a newer 3.3 motor in it. I removed the integy shocks and installed some p2 rockers and did a single servo conversion on the steering. I also installed some 40 series wheels, she looks pretty good. Once the 3.3 in it blows I will be installing the LRP Z28 motor in her...I have this Picco installed in Revo #1...

what is that where the easy start should be? is that a roto start of some sort? i like my ez start but we all know it has a mind of its own, some thing else would be cool but i dont know what as i will never own another pull start on anything. i have had them on everything from 3 wheelers to snowmoblies and never again but what else is out there besides the ez start?

07-22-2012 02:57 PM #6That is a Tiger drive system. The Revo behind it has a regular rotostart(from ofna). I love them both, no more pulling lol. They are sooo simple to use, they weigh less, and un-clog the extra space taken up by the ez-start. I use a Venom 3000 mah batt. in my roto. It lasts a long time... Originally Posted by fastslash

07-23-2012 04:27 AM #10I converted both my revo trucks to bump start. Ofna makes a bump box called the "t-start" specifically for Revo. No modification of the truck is required. Well, other than ripping off the ez-start. Originally Posted by fastslash
In case you don't know, a bump box is a box you set your truck on and line the flywheel up with a drive wheel on the box. When you push down on the truck it triggers the drive wheel and then hits the flywheel, turning the engine over. It's fast, strong and it can crank for a long long time without burning up any parts. There is only one "wear" part invovled, and that's the rubber drive wheel. They cost about $5, and last a long time.
The advantages are thus:
WAY stronger cranking action on the engine
NO one way bearings or other drivetrain drag that comes from typical roto-starts or the ez-start.
Excessively long battery life in the starter, because it works a lot less hard to do the job.
If your engine doesn't start right away, you don't damage your starter system by cranking it for a longer period. On my T-start, I can lock it on and crank the engine for 2 minutes straight. (not that you should be doing that, but you COULD, for tuning or what not)
Disadvantages:
It requires 2x 7.2v packs or a 12v gel cell.
It's big and heavy
You can't put it in your pocket and carry it with you as you drive. But then, you really shouldn't need to restart your truck often.

08-31-2012 01:43 PM #13The Tiger drive is ok. For all around ease, I would recommend a roto start from Ofna. This way no easy start motor and no giant box to carry around lol... Originally Posted by hondamag

Well i am familliar with these cause my buddy has them but its still in my back seat lol. I had to put the suspension back together cause it was too big for the box. I got some pin tires and some stock revo tires with it and some extras. Looks like its gonna be a handful lol. Gonna get some fuel soon and run it. Got some family stuff going on this weekend so vids will have to wait but i will get pics asap
