Does anyone know how a sirio s27 compares to a picco 26 max....? Just wondering I'm trying to decide if I should get the steel transmission innards or just stock up on 2 speed gearsets. Thanx in advance.

Picco runs a little better. Probably lasts a lot longer. The Sirio comes with a crappy mount. We've had both engines and they both rip. They Picco engine mount won't work on the Sirio. The Sirio doesn't come with instructions, so you have to hope it's rich from the factory. Not a huge deal if you've broke in other engines.
I personally like the Picco same as Matt...The metal gears will last longer, but the stocks will hold up unless you are abusive (like most of us are). The RRP will cost around $100 from Tower. Just depends on how often you wanna be spitting the tranny open.
No big deal man...you have to work pretty hard to stir me up too bad. But as I said before the stock gears will hold up for a while....they have done good so far with the RB .23 in one of my Revos. My other Revo I have a BB.25...have not ran it enough to know how long the gears will last. I have a T-Maxx I went all metal tranny gears and hybrid 1/8 scale diffs...but it is also backed up by a Sirio .30 so it will really need the extra strength. Stock gears are fairly inexpensive so run 'em until they shell out then make the decision of what to get next IMO. Also that is a pretty good price on the .27....I still like the Picco better but for the price....emmm yeah I understand the decision for sure. Oh and $400 in to the project....heh heh buddy it only gets worse. It's like drugs.....it's all down hill from here.Yeah I'm already into this project about 400 bucks I'll do the work as necessary. And no hard feelings ok? We're all adults here and I know 3.3's are cheap. I just wanna talk rc in my freetime. I do have about 12 engines under my belt but I'm no professional.

Whats the deal with $159.00? Who what where when?
I run the S27 with the stock tranny internals. I have not run into any problems yet.
I did change to a close ratio gearset and run the rear brake kit with center diff.
I jumped on the $159.00 deal myself. So far I have run 3 gallons through the Sirio and she is still running great. My opinion on the S27 is that it runs much better with the 30% fuel mix.
Congrats man thats awesome, keep up the good workYeah well this keeps me from drugs i've been 100% clean over 2 years now and no regrets about a 1000 dollar revo.
I have a Sirio .30 in my Maxx and it is a 3-port as well. I don't really have enough fuel through it so make a god determination of how good of an engine it is though. They have a good reputation at least.Wow that is super cheap.just ordered picco red dot.weird thing is sirio only a 3 port seems kinds weird I thought. Good luck keep us updated.

I have two questions.
Will an RB TM523 header work on the Sirio 27?
Is there a back plate available to convert it to bump start?
So far I have ran the TRX3.3, OS.21TM,Picco .26Max, RB TM523.I would like to try one of these but it needs to be bump start.
