What kind of traxxas do I have

[FireFighter2018]

I found a traxxas that need some work done, I fixed it up but I don't know what kind of traxxas it is. I will show some pictures

I'm not a nitro guy so I'm likely wrong but I would guess it's a Tmaxx 3.3 with a few aftermarket things.

The engine looks like a Traxxas 2.5r. The chassis looks like either a T-Maxx or S-Maxx Chassis couldn't tell because I couldn't see the front of the chassis whether there were front drive dogbones or not.

I think Hamz is correct on it being a Smaxx. Forgot about them haha.

It is a Traxxas S-Maxx, it has the shorter pipe.

A couple ways you can a distinguish a S Maxx from a T Maxx... An S Maxx does not have reverse or the servo to engage reverse. The S Maxx does not have a front differential, center drive shaft or axles. I believe what you have there is a good old fashioned T Maxx 2.5 model 4910. Probably a 2006

The smaxx 2.5 has a yellow fuel line heat guard, the tmaxx 4910 has a black one- this guys pictures show a yellow one:

Yep, That's the challenge of identifying used Maxx models. The Stadium Maxx, S Maxx and T Maxx 2.5 all have interchangeable parts so what you often
end up with FrankenMaxx models. The yellow heat shield could be purchased at any LHS years ago.
The black battery box, receiver box, and bulk heads indicate its a model year between 2002 (when the 2.5 was introduced), and 2006(when the black parts were replaced with grey)
It definitely has a T Maxx 4910 tranny (the servo connected to the tranny is a tell tale sign).

Or it could be an S-Maxx that had reverse added and was then converted to 4wd, or converted to 4wd and then had reverse added.......boom mind blown.
