If you are interested in building a gas powered t-maxx, check out this thread:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_28...tm.htm#2893529

It was started by DrHonda and is rather large, but has some great info and nice pictures of his build. He was going to do a kit, but he has been very busy lately. Check out the thread, he lists all the parts he buys and how he built it. Good luck with your build.

woah! Not that big of an engine like a .40 .50 four stroke

I know these arn't T-MAXX specific, but both should give you pointers and ideas to get you going.

This one is a 4stroke REVO

And a 4stroke LST

Hope they can be of some use.

Ya but what engine to buy?

OS makes some pretty good 4 stroke engines.

The biggest advantage to having a 4 stroke is the amount of torque you get from them. Which is awesome if you are bashing. The downside is they are not a very efficient engine. Meaning that *as an example* You will get much more top end power from a .21 2 stroke than you will from a .21 4 stroke.

Once again the torque is monster. You will also have to do some modifications to your tmaxx to get it to work properly.

A Saito 182.

Seriously, whatever you can afford and make fit. Cooling and gearing up for the RPM loss will be what you need to deal with.

Ok lets say this I buy this for my t-maxx- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJRW8&P=7
And got it installed with the stock 3 speed transmission. How fast do you think It'd go?
Would it Out pull a Stock Warhead?

Unless you're just into building/tweaking/modifying, it's a huge waste of time and energy.
Drop in a good big block (LRP, OS, etc), and you'll have plenty of torque and speed.
As soon as start modifying a machine beyond what it's engineered specifications are, you're in for a world of trouble.
Again though, if it's the building process that intriques you, then possibly it's worth it from that perspective.
Good luck.

nah i think ill stick to 2 stroke. Ill try to find another cheap big block but i have my eyes set in the axial engines.

The Revo is owned by Damon Palm, a local racer here in the PNW. He is attempting to make a kit for the OS 4 stroke. Let me tell you, that thing sounds AWESOME on the track! It really turns heads!

Huh I didnt know that so u live like really close to these guys or sumthin?
