Interchangeable parts? T-maxx 3.3 and T-maxx 2.5

[n19htmare]

Question is in the title I suppose.

How much of the 2.5 is interchangeable with the 3.3 Tmaxx?

 

[rckid91]

alot bulks chassie braces motor clutch shocks and towers everything but aarms steering blocks and drivelines oh and turnbuckles

 

[Plaidfish]

those should be interchangeable as well but the 3.3 version parts are much stronger....I believe the tranny on the 3.3 is the same as the Revo now as well....

well I guess I'm mainly asking if I break something, and I find a good deal on a 3.3 part, I might as well get the 3.3part since it's supposed to be a better built (ofcourse after market is the way to go but it's a hypothetical question).

I see a lot of people getting rid of their 3.3 parts for cheap because they upgraded to better parts. I'm not loaded with money and I would not mind stocking up on parts that are often damaged. I hate going to the LHS after something breaks and paying the ridiculous MSRP prices.

So from what I understand, nearly everything is interchangeable? More input on this?

Edit added:

I guess I should have done my homework first hand .
I downloaded parts list for 2.5 and 3.3 T-Maxx and 99% of the parts are the same. Only difference was the Tuned exhaust and engine/engine parts. Every other part is the same.

I also believe if you are using the older 2.5 with the black tranny your center driveshafts will be different lengths than the 3.3 grey tranny. Hence the 3.3 maxx/revo trx steel driveshafts will not work which is a shame as that was prolly one of my best upgrades. No more twisted plastic u joints.

also the 3.3 truck has different drive shafts and different turnbuckles oh and alos axle carriers

But I think those can just be moved onto the 2.5 chassis. Since the bulkheads and diffs are basically the same (diff is slightly diffrernt but interchangable) you can put 3.3 a arms, carriers, and axles on it but you would have to do all 4 corners at once. Though it is a good upgrade widening the stance, rpm a arms and carriers up front with stock 3.3/revo axles and the rpm rear a arm truetrack kit which has the axle carrier and it eliminates the rear toe links.

though upon doing the math you are looking at:

rpm front a arms 2 x $11
rpm rear a arm truetrack kit $45
Axles all around $40

So approx $100 for the full upgrade though you can prolly find this stuff cheaper on ebay.

yeah the newer 2.5 already are widened but do not have the revo drivelines or steering blocks
