i knoe some guys who has a picco in there revos and the are very quick, im not the expert in the revo area though. And .21 will be insane in it though for sure!

Good luck! keep us informed

i droped the .28 into my 2.5 revo, i used a New Era engine mount, the plus of this motor mount is you don't have to worry about trimming the rear a-arms, if you want to use a pull start or roto start , the only thing i don't really like is the throttle linkage, because the motor is at such a strange angle, if might take a bit to get the linkage operating the right way,also when i had the stock linkage it kept hitting the roll bar, but after i made my own linkage i was able to cut a liitle off the roll bar to clear, now it works like a charm:thumbs: , i also installed a chassis brace, to help with the flex issue,

[revofreak]

:D im going to look into the .28 set up rite now for mine i mite cancle the order and get a .28 any more input let me know thats guys:rock:
it sucks not a haveing a motor in my basher:cry:

[revofreak]

were you abel to use the clutch from you 2.5 or will i need to buy a difrent clutch for the .28 im looking into changeing over my order thanks:shoot:

[pjabas]

yes you can use the 2.5 flywheel clutch, i have it on mine now, works good so far, but im still breaking it in, you however need a different flywheel nut, but if you get that New Era mount, it comes with eveything you need, including the flywheel nut,


which starting method are you going to use on it ??

[revofreak]

im going to put a pull start i just got off the phone with tower and it sounds like ims get the .28 for the same as i was paying for the p.s 177.00 the linkage that come's in the new era pack dident work i dont have a roll bar i have a rollcage did you change out your gears i orderd the ronbinson slipper and bell kit but since its such i big motor i dont know if a 18 tooth bell will fit do you>?> thanks for the info keep throwin it at me :rock:

[pjabas]

well right now im running a 16cb and 38 spur, stock stuff
tommorow im gonna swap over to a 18cb and 3 shoe clutch,flywheel all 1/8 scale, im planing on sticking with plastic spurs "much easier to replace than tranny gears":thumbs:

did you check out the qconcepts mount ?? that one pushes the motor back alittle, you might have to trim a-arms, or slide your tranny ahead a little, to get the gear mesh

[revofreak]

i dot think that mount will be a option i have aluminum a arms` dont wanna trim the new era kit is no trimming that what i like about it im also ordering all robinson internal tranny gears hopeing i wont have to worry about that stuff after that so your gunna run 18 bell cool so it will fit me a the guy at robinson were not sure if it would`:confused: I gota Tmaxx sittin hear i was thinking about dropin that tranny with the 3spd in it but not sure have you herd of a 3 spd set up for the revo yet/? only one's i'v seen are for T-maxx set up that .28: is it a screamer is yours modded what would you rate on the porformance % 1 to 100 i havent ran that motor the 3.3 was to weak for my likeing the 3.3 is to weak and doesnt last long .18 is to weak im hopeing the .28 will make me go 00hh $ht:huba: i do not have a willie bar probly be a good idea to get one wouldnt it:rock: nice revo by the way :thumbs: :huba: did you anidize it all green or? i have the same pipe

[pjabas]

i haven't heard or read anything a 3spd revo. as for performance :thumbs::D im still breaking it, in and the wheelie bar gets lotsa use !!the chassis is spray paint, i would say get wheelie bar, and chassis brace, if your running 2.5 chassis, also get a roto start man saves fingers lol

[revofreak]

so i guess i should look into a new servo to then radrc has a 3 spd for the revo but im not whanting to do that any more cant wait to see the vid

[pjabas]

servo ?? for what ?

i switched to the 18cb 1/8 scale, with a 3 shoe clutch, works great just don't have your slipper clutch too tight, :confused:i went through two sets for tranny gears in two days:eek: is was running 18/38 still pulled wheelies

[revofreak]

dident your throttle serv0 go out so im figuren the big block with the cusotm linkage is to much for the stockr i just orderd a bundle of slipper gears thanks for the tip ill keepr loose till i can get all the steal gears and some new drive line's i took your advice and gotta willy bar its on order im still waiting on the motor tho its on backorder for a while i orderd the new era big block kit tho and some gold springs i ment to get some tan ones to but.,. i forgot`` that way id have somethn to choose from im tryin to find a good alaround bashr tire for my rig lookin at axial terraizers and there monkey paws also likeing the super swamper look alike whats the name of yours how do they do?

[pjabas]

[J_Bone]

Cold plugs?? Why is that?
McCoy plugs are not bad at all. I actually have ran them for years with out any problems. They are cheaper and last just as long as any other plugs.

[revofreak]

[J_Bone]

173F is to cold. Your not heating up the metal enough to expand with out damaging it. The magic number is 200, but I usually don't like to be under 220.

[J_Bone]

My P5X liked to be around 260-270 when it was being broken in. Once it was broken in and loosened up (two gallons) the temp dropped and it picked up speed.
