So I bought a used tmaxx 3.3 from craigslist and I'm the third owner. after a year of sitting I finally got to work on the thing I tore down and sealed the engine,greased the difs,and just cleaned up the truck. After learning the hard way that the piston was directional I was able to get it started and running but very weak. After almost throwing it at a brick wall I decided to let the pros get involved and took it to my lhs and spent about $100+ on various things to get it running mediocre at best. The guy said it had a pipe made for a big block and wasn't creating the back pressure needed and that the engine was not properly broken in. I'm trying to decide to whether to get the pipe and piston/sleeve and deal with the frustrating trx engine or to just find a reasonably priced aftermarket drop in. In my eyes there is no such thing as too much power, ill deal with the shredded gears as they come and replace what breaks with steel/ aluminum.
Thanks in advance -yamabraaper
