Tmaxx engine opinions

[NEW2R/C]

I am lookin 4 a new motor in my tmaxx 2.5 i have a 3.3 transmission and I'm runnin 2wd with cvds I'm lookin at the axial .26 .28 and .32 and the Force .32 eng w/ps by Ofna what are your takes on these engines i am running an older ofna picco .26 but its going down hill should i stay with picco or move on to other engines let me know what u guys think also lets try to keep a 200 dollar max:

While were at it..... how bout a traxxas 3.3 ??

 

[olds97_lss]

Without a conversion kit, a true big block won't fit in it. Which will kick the crap out of your $200 limit. So, that rules out any axial you listed along with the force.

I think even for the OFNA .26 Max you may need to get a OFNA engine mount, but I could be wrong on that. I know the revo requires one...

So, that leaves you with these:
TRX 3.3

OFNA 26 maxx:

I'm sure there are a few others...

If your OFNA is loosing pinch, then you could just get it serviced to get more life out of it.

Thanks 4 the advice i was focused on the Axial .28 Spec 1S Engine Green do yo think it would work? and how much is it to get a motor serviced and who do i talk to 4 it

 

[Old2.5]

i konow u want an axial but the tmaxx 3.3 is about $150 which is cheap for those motors

 

[NEW2R/C]

true but I'm lookin into havin a custom fast truck lol

 

[craigl]

as said above, without a bigblock conversion (extended chassis, cvd and engine mount) you will have to stay with either mid block or small block motors), have you checked to see if you can buy a new piston and sleeve for the motor you have already?

 

[frakinmaxx]

u also have the pico .26 that is a direct drop in

[drdoom405]

Yes those are the same part numbers...Tower is cheaper by 8 bucks but you gotta figure shipping into that too..

k sweet thanks for the help bro o and one more thing if u were in my shoes would you get a brand new 2.5 or 3.3 or refurbish the small block .26 picco is the picco going to put out much more then the 3.3 or is it pretty even

 

[newtorc]

i would not get the 3.3 my buddy had 3 of them that blew up on him but traxxas replaced them cause of the lifetime warrenty thing or what ever but he got tired of blowing motors so he got what i got the dynimite mach .26 but u will need the big block convertion ... but that motor rips 2.75 hp on a 10lbs truck i have a t-maxx with this motor and it hauls ass just my 2 cents
