Are the exhaust openings different sizes on a .28 so the .21 pipe wouldn't fit on? I think there all the same size but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience with this engine and or Picco pipes.
I will be using this on a Losi eight t 3.0. I'm currently using a .21 engine in the truggy but it's having some trouble clearing the big triple at my track, it's not consistent enough. So that's why I want to use the Picco .28
Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks a lot
I had this whole ordeal come up already.
I put that same Picco 28 in my Baja Bug to replace the worn out JL 28 I had in it. I ordered one of those Picco pipes from Ebay to use on it but it sat weird pointing down really hard so I would have had to heat and bend the header to make it fit in the car right and finding an exhaust seal to fit good was a little tricky too.
After talking about it on FB pages, I found out all those pipes are made to fit the slanted exhaust on the Picco and Reds .21 engines so I put one of my JP pipes on that engine instead.
Worked out really good though.
Since I had this really nice Picco pipe and stilll needed to decide on an engine for my RC8B3, I bought a .21 2016 spec Picco.
The 1st pic is the Picco pipe attached to the .28. The next 3 pics are the same pipe on the .21 and installed in my RC8.
