will a axial .32 fit in the t maxx 4808 extended Chassis? i'm looking to put that engine in a t maxx and i dont want to pay $100 or more for a chassis any help with this please
 
Sadly for you Traxxas extended the chassis forward not aft. Basically the front is longer....So a big block will still not fit with out a TON of modifications. You will still need a bigblock chassis to put that in there.
 
An Axial .32 has a ton of torque and will rip any T Maxx to shreds quickly and make it unuseable and always in repair unless its totally aluminumed out with hardened steel transmission gears,drive shafts and weighs 15lbs or more...The brute power of the Axial.32 is killing wheel bearings,1 tran and 1 set of diffs , 1 set of rims,a few shocks,4 rear turnbuckles and a few spur gears/clutchbells in my MGT 8.0 so far...and thats a 13lb 1/8 scale machine that originally came with a .50

The Picco Red Dot puts out 2.8hp costs close to 200.00 for engine alone and the Sirio .27 puts out 3.1hp and it costed me a tad under $250 total ebay shopping for engine kit,rrp hardened bell,aluminum 3 shoe clutch kit by Integy ,Integy hardened spur with upgraded slipper and hardened centershafts to get my T Maxx screaming better than the 3.3 ever did over all the lower hp or higher torque engines too....the perks are getting to keep the ez-start and not have to buy a whole new chassis to make your T-maxx run way better than it ever was with the 3.3

When you say you have everything else upgraded...does that cover...

Aluminum braces and bulkheads with braces,aluminum skidplates,aluminum diff housing with hardened and properly shimmed gears,aluminum transmission housing with internal hardened steel gears aswell as hardened spurgear , hardened steel centershafts and drive axles the least?

If so....Then youll be good to go with the Axial.32 and either the titanium chassis or the other one....The titanium one looks like the better choice....Should be a very Sweet and powerful Maxx to bash after that...

all steel gear in the tranny spools in the diff bulk and towers done up in alum i didnt do alum tranny or diff housings trying to keep it light if that can even be done with a make I'm going to use a hardcore T-Maxx .21 Pro Chassis (TITANium) so I'm going alum ext chassis brace seeing how my old alum ones wont fit anymore and i have cvd's not put in yet center are steel but i now need a longer one for the rear and thats about it do i need a new exhaust header for the .32

Yes you will.Any round port pipe from a .21 or larger will fit if it has the right bend ..I'm using a LHS pipe and manifold in my MGT.......The Sirio or Picco Red Dot manifold will work from the T Maxx direct drop-in upgrade units for your project...Its gonna be a powerhouse and a screamer.....

the truck is done the engine is in i went with the .28 instead i wasent happy with the .32 that went in my friend's revo it's not a bad engine just not much more power then the .28 he went from the .28 to the .32 in his revo and even he said he should of just gotten the .28rr I'm rebuilding the 3.3 for the jato but i think my t maxx might just be able to out run my jato i well have to drop the t maxx to the ground and race them to see. but for now it's sure funny to see my $99 axial .28 walk around my friends $345.00 sirio S27 TX both in t maxx's and I'm just staring to tune it in after break in i can't wait to see this thing after a few more tank but first i need to find a clutch that well hold up or a 1.0 spur gear that fits the traxxas slipper
