HP ratings mean very little when it comes to Glow/Nitro engines.

Run steel gears in the tranny only if you continually strip the stock gears.
 
if you go with one of the motors i mentioned i would def upgrade driveshafts/cvds and the diffs but i would wait til you start stripping the trans gears before you upgrade them.
 
I'd get rid of the metal spur gear. Thats the easiest way to protect your tranny gears. If your stripping, that tells you something isnt meshed right. With the right mesh, the plastic will last FOREVER!
 
I would just upgrade as you break. the differential gears between the front axles, and between the rear axles are fair from the factory, but after wearing them out, you can upgrade to a stronger aftermarket set.
 
ok i do have posi in the rearend and honestly what enigne would u guys suggest
 
Before I went to a bigger engine I would ditch the rear locker or your transmission is history. I like the Picco Maxx .26 or Picco Red Dot. Both damn good engines and can't beat them for the price and NOT have to do a big block extention conversion.
 
yea i looked at both of em and idk what 1 i wanna get i dont see many sirio .27s
 
You will not find a sirio s27. i have one and have been looking for over a year for another one, or at least some parts.
The Integy bulks will be fine, if you can keep the threads from stripping out.
Is your maxx a newer 3.3 4908 or 4907?...Or an older 2.5?
If it's a 3.3 maxx with sealed diffs they'll be fine unless you go brushless....although pinion bearings do wear, so a new set of bearings is needed from time to time.
