i bought a slighly used t maxx with the .15 engine and short suspension for 100.00 and it looks new never used but I'm wanting to upgrade the suspension to the wide suspension and a 2.5 or 3.3 engine. what all do i need to transform this thing to a new maxx?

1st you would need the conversion kit to change from rotary carb to slide valve carb and side exhaust to rear exhaust.
Then you would need the wide suspension arms and toe links to get the same stance as a wide maxx.

To fully upgrade to 3.3 specs you would need much, much more. It’s more cost effective to by a 3.3 rolling chassis and add the engine and electronics if necessary, or just purchase a new model 3.3 than to upgrade the old pro.15 to 3.3 spec.
