2.5r?

[DirtRider045]

Somewhat off topic but why did traxxas discontinue the maxx 2.5r and not the tmaxx classic?

2.5, 2.5r...same thing. People have claimed they were different but I have had both engines apart at the same time and I couldn't see any difference except the head on the 2.5r. I have had both running at the same time and still couldn't see a difference. IMO the 2.5r was a marketing scheme by traxxas and nothing more.

So was the only difference the opti-drive and the sealed drivetrain?

I was referring to the engines, the 2.5 compared to the 2.5r.
