Tmaxx tranny

[flandersander]

I am looking for a 3 speed tranny for my tmaxx. I would preffer all steel gears inside if anybody knows of one or has one that would be great.

 

[revomaxx24]

i dont think that there is a 3 speed trans for a tmaxx

 

[flandersander]

Well that sucks. I thought there was. I could be wrong, does anybody know for sure?

 

[Captain Chaos]

someone offers one but it says not recommended for off road use.I think it has exposed internals or something.3 sp sounds cool but only if its reliable.

There is a conversion but the gearing is so high you have to use 1/8 scale buggy wheels on it. If you want a 3 speed get a Savage or a CEN Genesis.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

With the power range of the TRX engines and the gearing in the 2 speed tranny, the 2 speed will get the job done fine.

 

[flandersander]

Well it does but I want it to wheelie and yet it revs out way too soon. I run on like 6 acres so 2 speed seems to not be enough.

Is it at all possible to put a savage 3 speed transmission on a t-maxx?

 

[Cupooterluvr]

You might be able to but it would require extensive mods. By the time you make it fit you probably would have been able to just buy a Savage.

 

[benjman420]

I'm sure you're right, it just seems like it would be cool.

Well yeah 3 speed savage on a maxx. Well a guy can dream though... a man can dream...

[flandersander]

Its a conversion kit?

 

[Captain Chaos]

Yea thats the one I saw too.Buy it and tell us hjow it works=devil

 

[flandersander]

um... well I would but I really don't have 100 bucks to spend. At all. well not on rc anyway. Aren't they discontinued?

 

[benjman420]

Well yeah 3 speed savage on a maxx. Well a guy can dream though... a man can dream...

Yes we can dream.....:hypno:
But the kit I saw, I think it was rad rc, had the third gear taking the place of the slipper clutch(as near as I can tell). Which is why it wasn't recommended for off road use, as well as you seem to need 1/8 tires.

 

[flandersander]

That makes sense. So there is no longer a sliper clutch? it is direct with no protection? And yeah geared so high would suck. I'm wondering if you could use a 12 tooth bell to make up for it...

Yup, I have a copy of Car Action where they reviewed it in a Maxx some time ago somewhere around here. If I can find it, I'll post a scan of it. They basically said that it's mostly for bling (HEY ROLEX!!!) and not really for offroad use, which is the reason for the buggy tires.

edit; couldn't find the magazine (I know I have it) but here's the text from the article:

Edit2; Found the issue, Feb 2002:

If you can't read the text, refer to the above link; it's the same almost word for word.

In my humble opinion Bling is basically worthless..........:spit:
