Picco .28 or hpi 5.9cc?
Im getting a savage xl, and I was wondering whether to keep the stock engine or put a picco in it and sell the 5.9?

The picco bar far is the better engine

Yes, the picco engines are great but the k5.9 is also a great engine that puts out a ton of torque required to get the xl moving as well as 39000 rpm, I've had really good luck with the k5.9's. Try it out, the picco's not needed here. Just make sure you use the hpi plugs, most of the other plugs won't hold up to the vibration. If you really want to roost, convert it to 6s 2200kv it's night and torque wise. I think a .28 picco is to small for this truck, amazing engine but....to small.

It might hit 39K right before it punches a huge hole in the case.
