RE: T- Maxx Piston and Liner
I just went through my piston and sleeve and I have gone through about 7 gallins of TOP Fuel gas. I guess it would depend on if you race your Maxx. I am thinking it would be rather pricey considering a new piston and sleeve is 65 bucks. Sirio makes a piston and sleeve for the same price and has more ports on it. Their connector rod is better too because it has ball bearings instead of bushings. I am going to try the sirio out once I get a chance to rebuild my engine. I will post a message to tell eveyone how it is. It is on Tower Hobbies if you want to check it out. Remember Sirio for the 2.5 engine.

RE: T- Maxx Piston and Liner
I just went thru my piston and rod, being frm tropical country like the philippines it sure is difficult to tune the 2.5. I figure Traxass did not consider people who run thier truck in tropical climates.
