what do i need to convert my t-maxx to big block.

PeanutButterJellyTime · 12-06-2005, 03:56 PM

You'll need a new chassis, preferably an extended one to fit the larger engine in it, and you'll need to replace most of the drivetrain with upgraded gears as the torque will rip it apart. That means the diffs probibly too.

im not sure how the diffs will hold up.. but i will see when i test my mutant maxx project truck that i made within the last 2 months...

The Dynamite Mach .26 conversion is a good one. Just make sure you upgrade the diffs and a couple gears in the transmission. It comes with everything you need to get the big block in.

They are fun, but why not just drop the OS 18TM in it? =)

.justin.1191. · 12-06-2005, 05:48 PM

ye i thinkin about the os but i alredy have a .26 and i would like an extended chassis.

if you plan to keep the t-maxx or EVER race it extend it as much as possible, it'll do wonders for the off-road handling

Im not planning to race it its just gonna be a basher I already got a racing truggy. Im just deciding if I should get the converson and put the .26, or just put an os .18 in it...

I will get my truggy soon

I say Os 18, reason being is because it might be cheaper without having to replace parts to prep for a power house .26. The OS 18 will have plenty of power but without the $$$ spent to beef up the drive train and tranny. Find a roller 1/8 buggy on the forum and you'll have a spot for that .26 =)
