Looks like a 3.3 Maxx with a big block shoe horned in to it.
Definetley a Maxx of some sort.
If it has front drive bones going to the wheel hubs, then it's a T-Maxx. If it doesn't, then it's a 2wd S-Maxx.

Yea, 3.3 Maxx - someone added the blue shocks on there, and of course, the mill. Have you run it? Or are you looking to sell in instead, to make a few bucks?

I dis-agree!!!!!
This is a 2.5 maxx...
Notice the black transmission housing.
Also the spur gear is from a 2.5, it looks like it still has the slipper pegs and not the pads.
also this does not have reverse!!!
It has an FOC installed (Forward only Conversion)
Not shifting into 2nd could be 2 things, 1. the engine is not tuned correctly and it can not create enough RPM's to shift into 2nd. Or 2. the shift point is not set correctly.
Did the truck shift into 2nd when you first got it?
If it did then i would say that this is a tuning issue.
Check out Traxxas.com
they have the owners manual on there and tons of extra info.

But it has grey bulks, grey battery box and receiver box. On the 2.5 everything is black. So, it's either a 3.3 with a replaced tranny, or, a 2.5 with new bulks, battery box, receiver box, or it was parts built from parts from several versions.

Incorrect Sir.
I bought a 2.5 New in the box
It has a black tranny housing, but grey Battery box, receiver box, bulk heads. ect.
and grey everything else.
It's a 2.5, i guarantee it.

cool, thanks for the info Rob
If it's not shifting it could be running too rich, or you need to adjust the shift point on the tranny. Does it run ok other than the shifting problem?

it's almost certainly a tuning issue.
You need to get a temp gun asap.
also you might try and lean it out 1/8 of a turn. when you make adjustments do it very slowly.
p.s. Right = Lean
Left = Rich

ya the older 2.5s were completely black and had reverse. also the old 2.5s had round body post not square like the new trucks. so what he has is a newer 2.5 with FOC, a bigger engine + pipe, what looks like 4 Integy shocks, and bowtie wheels
