Not really possible. A BB requires quite a bit more room for the exhaust header and crank case.

What t-maxx do you have? 2.5 maxx? If so, stepping up to the 3.3 would probably be quite a jump for you. That with a new pipe to match would add considerable power, but not so much that your shelling the drive train every time out.
 
ok what about an os engine i need one for under 135 because i dont want to go crazy on a little hobby like this YET !

what about the Picco .26 or a JL RED DOT WATS A good one that will fit i DO NOT WANT ANOTHER TRAXXAS ENGINE I've had nothing but bad luck with them

Both the regular Picco and the Red Dot a good engines. Tons of power. You will need a different engine mount for it though. One of our members here (revomaxx24) has the mount you need for sale. I have bought from him several times and he is a good guy and ships fast.
 
yah but i just noticed there both 2 expensive could i use that mount to put the Axail in it or any other big block because I'm GOING to make it work either way ????
 
Nope. The engine mount is made for that specific engine. You do not have enough room to fit the Axial without spending more $. Either you will need to move the transmission ahead 3/4 of an inch (or more) and get a header/pipe, engine mount that will work for a BB engine, or you will need to get a conversion chassis that is built longer that comes with a pipe/header and engine mount for a BB engine.

So, either you spend $250 (including your axial engine) to fit the engine into your rig and run it, or you buy the picco 26maxx for $200 and drop it in. Granted, the 26maxx I'm sure would benifit from a pipe upgrade, but it is made to be a drop in that requires no modifications or other parts to use.

Or you keep trying to find the $130 engine that isn't the 3.3 but has 3.3 type performance. Which really doesn't exist anymore. OS18TM was the closest you could get to a 3.3 performance and it was only near $150 near the end of it's life when OS stopped selling them. When it started life, it was just under $200 as well.

Your only real drop in choices are going to run you near the $200 mark. Unless you get the 3.3.

The only other option is to find an OS18TZ with a slide carb and pull-start, then hope the header off the 18TM can fit the engine. But your still over $200.
