Default who knows Nitro R/C???

Anyway, I've just picked up a T-Maxx w/ 2.5 I bought it from a family member, who's had it for a long while. He is trying to sell me a .28 Big Block for it as well. How much trouble is it to put the big block on my T-Maxx?

Traxass is not my specialty(I hate thier crap) but by what I have read, you need an adapter to install anything bigger than a .18 on it. You will shurly grenade the tranny though as that is the maxxs' weak point to begin with. Just stick with the engine thats in there if its still holds a tune.

On that car you can throw an OS TZ in it that will be more usefull than a .28. Keep in mnd that the .28 will use twice the fuel so run tiime will be compromised. Now you will have to ring up a bigger tank....yady$, yada$, yada$.

Just rock the small block till it wont hold a tune or the pinch is gone.

Not true. Any one can bash, but it takes skill to drive on a track. Especially when you have to "feel" the track and figure out what tires to run, what shock weight is needed, and what shock springs to put on. Then you usually only have 1/2 an hour to practice before the race and get used to the incossitant track conditions to figure out what I mentioned earlier.

----, the way they make planes and helis now days any idiot can go buy a RTR setup and go fly.....gyros FTW!!!
