.28 traxxas engine by Tecnomeccanica from italy

[Clifffff]

Several of friends have purchased the .26 and .28 tecnomeccanica traxxas engines. Has anyone heard of tecnomeccanica and is familiar with these engines? From my research I gathered tecnomeccanica does oem for other RC companies and even automobile manufacturers. They are based in Italy and are directed by Rody Roem.

These are the specs I found:

• double bushings conrod
• CNC manufactured burn room
• Inox STD glow-plug

• short 7 mm carburettor
• 14 mm steel main ball-bearing

• bore 21 mm
• 38.000 rpm
• 3,2 Bhp
• full cnc manufactored engine mount for Tmaxx or revo
• nitrated gears for electric EZ start
• Mabuchi 380 electric motor for ez start

Tecnopower .26 Traxxas Engine Specs:

• Mabuchi 380 started
• engine mount of choice for Revo or tmaxx
• CNC machined out of full aluminium engine mounts
• capacity .26 (4,5 cc)
• Bore 21 mm case

Does any of you have any input? I am thinking of getting the .28 to test.

For $210-$230, I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig. Post a video if you end up with one. Not that I need it, but would still like to see it in action.

I have the 21Tm in one revo and an LRP28S3 in my other with a new era leaner mount. I don't drive any of my nitro's much anymore. Couple times a year at most.

I placed my order. I will make a few clips for sure and will definitely push it to its limits.

Did you get the engine?

 

[Clifffff]

yes I did. The shipment took 10 days to the US from Europe. The engine came well packed and with a sheet of instructions for breaking it in. It is a direct fit for Revo. So installation was very easy. I followed the instructions to the letter but in the end all was worth it. The engine is very powerful, one might say, almost too powerful!!! The torque is simply insane. I might drop the EZ start though and go with pull start. I really think EZ start motors cannot bear the brunt of big block engines and easily get damaged in the process.

Looking forward to some video of it!

Let's see some videos of it.

I am in the process of making a short clip. Should be done next time I go to the track.

that was my worry too but apparently tecno is back in business though this time they also manufacture small oem stuff for BMW and other German auto manufacturers next to their RC engines

Any updates on how the engine is holding up?
