I just got my Picco .21 put in me race revo and put one tank through it... that motor is insane, and its just now got one tank through it. But i am kinda worried about the linkage, i might have to upgrade the throttle servo, but who knows.
I will post some pics on here in a bit to let everyone see it, its awesome.

Let me guess Kyle, it was pulling insane wheelies 1st tank.... "my usual hand motion"

ez2fly09

haha yes sir, well we will see on wednesday out at the track whos takin in some odonnels smoke.

P.s you got that hand motion from me you noob

Mo: How do you get the clutch to work?.?.?
Kyle: Noob!

LSTVega28

Haha, so true! We will def take some footage on wed.

ez2fly09

Geez, i just put two more tanks through it and holy crap is this thing amazing. I have ben doing this for about 10 yrs and never have i b een this impressed with a motor this soon. It is purely awesoem lol. Is anyone else running a buggy .21 in there revo, if so give some feedback.

NITRO FUMES RULE

Way above a buggy .21. Try a STS.30 ! You want to talk about "POWER" ?? Second gear
wheelies over backwards with street gearing 36/19. I have 1 and 3/4 gallons thru this engine
and it gets faster every time I take it out ! I am also running the shorter 2.5 chassis which will
test your driving skills because of the wheel base. You want to talk about fun! Yeh Buddy !
Have been into this nitro based hobby for 30 years. Cars and Boats. Enjoy !!!

If you are not smelling nitro fumes and listening to the sweet song your not LIVING !!

Not running a .21 but ill put my .26 up against it.

Idk beasly, this is a true BB motor. BB exhaust port and everything. Picco max is a mid-block. bigger isn't always faster. I serioisly think my Picco P3 was faster than the STS in the lower and top end departments.

Beasley1

Race ya for pinks, lol. Wish I was closer so we could see. Have fun with it.

LSTVega28

Actually dude, I have the .26 max as well, ez2fly09 lives 2 min away from me so we race pretty often. Me and him are going to the track on wed, I will be getting some footge as well. If ya want to race for pinks, I will drop my LRP or P3 in my Revo, that will be fun![>:]

ez2fly09

Hey there, nah no pinks going up just yet lol. I cant really tell what he motor will hold up to until i get about a gallon through it and racethe 30th and see if theres any competetion in monster truck class.

LSTVega28

Dude! There is freaking competetion! There are 2 guys with modded nova .28's, and Broncbuster's Revo! He has a Modded Picco .28 in his, you better hope they don't know how to drive bro.

dirt101

A .28 has no business on a revo if it was meant for the track if I was going to race my revo I would stick to my os .18 or maybe try the .21 like he said but anymore than that and it overpowers it.

LSTVega28

Throttle control+EPA setting are your friend.

NITRO FUMES RULE

Got to disagree with that. I have a modded OS TZ.18 that I use to run till I did a big block
conversion with a STS .30. No way am I going back to the smaller engine and no problems
with being overpowered. As far as hanging with .26's and P3's you better beware! The D30M
has a crazy top end and revs well past most other big block engines. The agressive port timing
of this engine pushes the powerband higher into the rpm range more like a race bred .21 and
not the mid range or a little higher powerband of most other .26's thru .32's.

I also hear that these STS engines are a pain in the ass to break in and are ticking time bombs waiting to implode.

mrbig6901

I just orderd a .21 for my T MAXX I cant wait to get it in!!!!!

mrbig6901

Any ideas for a good air filter???the reasons why im askig is because thats what blew up my 3.3

ez2fly09

Got more tanks through it, god this motor is wheeling and there are only around 5 tanks through it.

ez2fly09

ok pics are up now incase someone wanted to take a peek

My Feedback: (1)

Just curious, but are you breaking this motor in...? Or are you just going all out from tank one? If you didn't go easy on it, then don't expect that motor to last very long. You are supposed to keep the front end down, and the transmission in first gear for the first six tanks.

ez2fly09

hey there dont worry lol, i am still breaking it in and it wheelied twice on the fourth tank and by accident on the first, and i plan on running about a gallon of fuel for break-in on this motor.

LSTVega28

We are going to shred it up at the track tommrow Kyle! It's gonna be insane! [:'(].

NITRO FUMES RULE

Yes this engine takes at least a one gallon break in before you can pull some head shims and lean the
needles to a race tune. This is not a beginners engine because it takes tuning skills and is sensitive to
small needle changes. I have two gallons thru my .30 and the compression is excellent along with the
connecting rod, crankshaft and lower bearings all in like new condition. As far as the "ticking time bomb"
I now people who have eight + gallons thru their STS 30's and they run the S%*# out of them. So nuch for
longivity! Any engine can have mechanical failure but a fair amount of engine implosions are caused by too
many lean runs which places incredible stress on a engine. This is not directed at you in any way shape or form
but just a generalization, there are people with not much mechanical ability who are better suited to sport or RTR
type engines that are easy to tune. A race type engine with more aggressive port timing is going to take a lot
more tuning skills to prevent damageing lean runs. Being able to read a glow plug and tell what that motor is
doing also helps a lot.

Shoot 2dmaxlst a PM, ask how his 4 STS's are,lol.
