I'd like more power than the 2.5, but as usual, i don't wanna spend much money...what's the biggest bang for my buck? 3.3? OS .18tm? Ofna Picco .21? I'm just playing with my buddies in the backyard...should i just keep the 2.5 and be happy?
 
The 3.3 or 18TM would give you a significant power increase, but shouldn't be so much that it's going to tear the truck apart. Going with a 21 is to much engine in a maxx. The diffs and drive line just don't hold up.

If you like to bash with minimal maintenance and cost, go with the 3.3 or 18TM. I prefer the 18TM, but I'm biased... I've only seen a few 3.3's run and they all seem to be as hit or miss as the 2.5's are. Some are good and some aren't so good.
