what trans is in the tmaxx classic with the .15

It .15 has the .15 transmission. Same as the newer 2.5 tranny. Both had the black case.

 

[tmaxxman58]

is that good for a .26

 

[mtaylortank]

it would be faster than hell but the gears in the black tranny arent as strong as the gears in the 3.3 tranny unless you upgrade the gears..

 

[tmaxxman58]

O.S. .21 TM is it better than the .26

 

[frickenjoey]

I am guessing that is a question vs. a statement. So to answer as if you were asking....In my opinion no not really. It is easier to install but is a lot more expensive and isn't any stronger than the Picco. For the money the Picco is a better buy as far as I am concerned.

 

[tmaxxman58]

Is there any diffeence in power

 

[frickenjoey]

Yes the .21 seems to has a small touch more bottom end torque but the .26 has MORE than enough and will out run it in RPM too so....easy choice to me.

 

[tmaxxman58]

I've decided i want to try to spend lesss on an engine. I've look around found a few but would like some suggestoins. How good is the axial .28?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Stay away from axial nitro motors.

 

[tmaxxman58]

What makes them so bad and is the picco .28 good?

 

[frickenjoey]

Yes Picco makes very good engines. The .28 is going to kill your truck though unless the entire driveline is beefed up and you are running metal gears, upgraded diffs...ect. The Axial engines just don't last more than a couple gallons before they become un-tuneable paperweights. Also keep in mind the other engines you are looking at IE .28 engines are big block engines and will not fit unless you have the extended chassis. Just in case the 3.3 chassis is NOT a big block chassis...it is extended in the front, not the rear as is needed to put in a big block engine.
