60+mph (?) Picco .26 max powered Traxxas Revo 3.3 Street Truck

I ESTIMATE the top speed of my Revo to be over 60mph with this set-up. This estimate is based on the top speed of a stock Revo 3.3 being 45+mph with a TRX 3.3 engine and 15/38 gearing. My Revo now has a more powerful engine than a 3.3 (Picco .26 Max), a THS tuned pipe that produces more top end than the stock pipe, and 20/34 gearing. 20/34 is 48.8% taller than 15/38.
1.488 x 45mph = 66.96mph
Other variables come into play such as aerodynamics, bearing drag, rotating mass, etc. I think it's safe to say that it should top 60mph with this set-up AFTER taking those variables into account. Once I get the Picco P3 .28 and 22/34 gearing installed, I will be able to get accurate speeds because I now have a Bushnell radar gun. Keep an eye out for that video! Thanks for watching and check out some of my other videos!

just got my picco .26 max red dot. obby shop didnt have the THS so i went with the TRINTY pipe. its very loud! but dam its fast! what gears are you running?

[Revomad1]

@tylerhell The gearing is in the video.

[Revomad1]

@computerguy787 Savage all the way! It is a much more durable platform. The Revo is too "toyish".

@RM250D8rzr I tried the RRP steel gear kit, but it made the Revo slower due to more rotating mass. I also snapped a primary shaft in the transmission, which cost me ~$25 to replace. I sold the steel gears and went back to the stock plastic ones. I only stripped a plastic trans gear twice, and they are about $5 each, so stick with plastic. I would recommend using a steel spur gear though. Plastic ones strip too easily. They get really hot at these speeds.

@mstreamer9991 LOL. Bullet rocks!

@CARDUDE143 Nitro engine superchargers don't work! They just make the engine run lean, which kills the piston and sleeve quicker! A better way to spend $150 would be to have the engine professionally modified.

@shredordieman It uses model engine fuel, which contains Nitromethane.

[Revomad1]

@RM250D8rzr It should be about the same. 5-10 gallons of fuel depending on how you tune the engine. I never kept an engine for more than 3 gallons of fuel anyways, so I wouldn't know for sure! lol.

@crazybearrc No. The 3.3 doesn't have enough torque to pull gearing that high. I never hit 60 with this Revo. I got a radar gun after making this video. The fastest this truck ever went was 54mph with a Picco. 28 in it. A modified Big block engine is the only way to get it to break 60.

@IbzSolja1 It requires only a $20 mount made for this engine only to drop it into the Revo chassis.

@nitroghost666 The Picco .26 is a "mid block" engine. It was designed specifically for the Revo and requires only a different mount to drop into the Revo Chassis.
