this kinda drifting is safer

no i baught the new tmaxx 3.3 it came out about a month or so ago. traxxas claims 60% more hp over the 2.5 motor. it runs on the revo drive train, axles, trans and wheels. http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitr...rx_tmaxx33.htm check out the videos.

you can convert your 1.5 to a 3.3 by getting the 2.5 retrofit mount and using the 3.3 in it's place. i don't think the 1.5 driveline will hold up.

thats sick, i thought the 2.5 was a powerful engine. that wheelie bar gives it the extra touch. i might try to get a 2.5 engine swap now since not many people will want them now. just wandering have you driven a 2.5 tmaxx cause i want to know if that is worth doing a swap?

yeah my old maxx was a 2.5r revo motor, loads of power. imo it's worth the money.

to be honest w/ you they really are. 2spd trannys, disc brakes, full adjustable suspension. if a real car has it, an rc has a modified version. my trucks got an ecu for the transmission. my minitruck will do 50 mph and mop the floor w/ my big nitro powered truck. my road car will do close to 45mph. i've got a buddy w/ road car that'll do well over 60mph if you can keep it from flipping over. it's sick!!! if you get in the hobby, you'll never get out. i've got almost $2000 in 3 rc cars. + my hop ups and misc stuff.

yes I have to agree I have A T maxx .15 i just replaced the piston and sleeve also new muffler that dumps out the back makes a nice growl and a new K&N cold air intake it sounds nice too. and I have lowering springs so when I race it doesnt flip. Its really a nice thing to have a great weekend toy and the neighbors hate it lol

a new K&N cold air intake

I'd strongly recomend getting rid of it and get a motor saver. the filter material and oil use on the k&n filters isn't "thick" enough for the small motors, it won't trap the smallest of the dirt and dust particles as well. if you compare the filter oil for rc's it's super thick like motor honey, where k&n is like 20 wt oil. the filter is a combo of foam/super fine wire mesh w/ another layer of foam. while k&n is like layered paper and gause wraped in wire mesh. getting a small grain of sand in the nitro motor would be like throwing a quarter size rock in the intake of your cb. and we all no thats not good. just my hard learned lesson.

no problem, it's a hobby, you live and learn, sometimes the hard way. here's what i run. it'll cost about $15-$20, but well worth the money and you can see a gain in performance. you can get them @ most hobby shops or towerhobbies.com.

i might get one of those cause my stock stubby filter is so close to the spur gear i'm afraid it will get cut. thanks for the website
