The Ofna Picco MAX21 .21 T-Maxx engine is another popular aftermarket engine that offers big block power packed into a small block type case!  This exciting new medium block picco p2 based design offers the best of both worlds.  Big block .21 power for the T-Maxx that bolts into the space of a typical .12 or .15 small block engine!  This amazing new Ofna Pico Max21 tmaxx engine is manufactured by Picco which is a world re-known, high quality, high power engine manufacturer in Italy.  The Ofna Max21 .21 T-Maxx engine has been referred to as a small block (because it can fit many small block applications), and this picco p2 based design has also been called a medium block because the engine case is larger than a small block but smaller than a big block engine case.     

Ofna Picco Max21 .21 Small Block T-Maxx Engine

Because of the popularity of the Traxxas T-Maxx truck, Picco has developed this version especially for tmaxx trucks.  This Ofna Max21 small block engine is made by Picco for Ofna Racing.  Big block conversion kits for the tmaxx are now a thing of the past thanks to the Ofna Max21!  This engine is specifically designed to drop into a T-Maxx 2.5 chassis - no conversion kits needed!!  Ofna rates the Ofna Picco Max21 t-maxx engine at an amazing 2.38HP!  The Ofna Max21 .21 engine is the same basic engine design as the picco p2 engine.  Picco manufactures and OEM's this picco p2 based t-maxx engine for Ofna which markets it under the name of Ofna Picco Max21.  The picco p2 tmaxx engine is distributed by Werks Racing in the US.  Primary difference between these engines are simply the names and some minor cosmetic differences.  The werks racing picco p2 t-maxx engine is just not an OEM situation.  Werks Racing directly imports these engines from Italy into the United States as the primary US distributor.  In both cases, this is basically the same picco p2 engine design with some minor differences in cosmetics and naming.  This is widely known and common knowledge among people, and to try and say any different would be an insult to the intelligence of many people who know better.

NOTE:  Picco rates the Picco P2 Monster .21 T-Maxx engine at 2.1HP, so we are not sure where Ofna got the 2.38HP rating since the Max21 is based on the same Picco P2 engine design. We just wanted to make that known to people. Either way... whether it be 2.1HP or 2.38HP, this is a crazy powerful engine for a T-Maxx!

For a quick visual reference, check out a picture of the Werks Racing Picco P2 T-Maxx engine.  Note that this picture shows the picco p2 with the tmaxx 2.5 EZ Start, clutch assembly, and header attached (just like they will bolt to the Ofna Max21).

This engine is designed to just bolt right in to a 2.5 tmaxx truck!  The Ofna Picco Max21 engine comes with a slide carb, and the stock T-Maxx 2.5 EZ Start, clutch, and rear port exhaust system bolt right on.  Bolting this into a 1st generation Pro .15 T-Maxx truck would require more work since the 1st generation tmaxx trucks came with a rotary carb and a side port exhaust engine design.  The weaker drive shafts and other components of the 1st generation truck would require more upgrades to bolt in this powerful new ofna picco max21 engine.  Given the right upgrades, this ofna max21 engine can also be made to work on the early Pro 15 T-Maxx.  Even the newer 2.5 tmaxx may need some additional upgrades to handle the BIG POWER of the picco p2 based ofna max21 t-maxx engine!  Fortunately for tmaxx owners, there are many different t-maxx (both 1st & 2nd generation) upgrade parts available to choose from in the marketplace.  The Ofna Picco Max21 "small block" is another great engine from Picco that is sure to be a big hit with tmaxx owners everywhere!

UPDATE:  The Picco Max21 engine has been superseded by the bigger Picco Max26 engine.  Click here to find out more information about the newer: Ofna Picco Max26 or Picco 26 Max .
