:banana:does anyone know if ill have to upgrade my t-maxx 2.5R to get the mach .26....all the gears and stuff like that are stock...thanks a lot:goodpost:
 
You need a conversion kit. A typical BB engine won't fit in the chassis without added 3/4"-1" or so between the trans and rear shock tower.

You would probably be better served to get a drop in BB, the 3.3 or a decent 18. The drivetrain will thank you for it... and it will be just as fun.
 
i can sell you a direct fit picco .26max w/ nova cooling head exelent condition almost 3 gal on her. just got her insides polished up. i have the mount for the maxx also $100 shipped
 
Yes, you will have to upgrade... extensively. The drivetrain is basically going to blow apart sooner or later with all that power. Diffs, axles, transmission, and anything in between are going to suffer. I would go with something like a 3.3 or .18, like olds suggested.
 
Oh but the picco will be so much faster at tearing up the maxx....DOOOOOIIIIITTTTTTT....Dooit...
RC is right..you're looking at diffs, tranny gears and axles being shredded at astronomical speeds....
 
thanks but i dont have the money to tear everythinup like its nothing...I'm JUST A 14 YEAR OLD KID ADDICTED TO THE HOBBY(LOL)..I might when i get a job:naughty:


thanks for clarifying that for me though
