Hi guys I'm new to both the forum and nitro RC cars. Today I purchased 2 second hand nitro RCS for a steal the better of the 2 being a Traxxas T-Maxx and I'm having trouble identifying what version or model it is? I've researched a little and have worked out that it's a newer model but not sure if it's the 2.5 or 3.3? The motor has O.S 21TM on the side. I've attached some pics if that helps. Sorry for the quality I took them on my old phone and the camera is t sealed properly. I can take new 1s if needed.

Sorry for duplicate pics.
 
That’s awesome! Welcome back!

What @Tunedfrog said. Also I know the chassis was longer with the Revo, between the 2.5 to the 3.3, so maybe for the T-Maxx too.. That OS should be a “mid-block”, as it’s the displacement of a BB .21, with the external dimensions of an SB specifically built for the Maxx chassis/mount..
 
Ok awesome. I was hoping so. I picked it up today with another nitro car for $200 everything included so pretty happy. Thanks for your help.
No problem, stick around and pull up a chair.
Lots of great threads and great people in this forum.
 
Welcome in @T-Maxx Traxxas
That is the 3.3. You can tell the difference by the color of the transmissions. The 3.3 is grey and the 2.5 is black.
Long wheelbase 3.3. The first versions 3.3 had tge 2.5 chassis.
