try a 16 bell with a 72 spur.................takes ratio from 3.5/1 to 4.5/1..................if it dosn't flip its lid then, i don't know what to tell you. oh yeah, this will slow your top speed big time. i'm going to 18/70 to get a 3.8/1 ratio........a little quicker......not much slower

If it is the 2.5 maxx it should be. Once tuned right it will flid it on its lid. Traxxas has video visual proof. And i have seen many videos that can back my statement up.

Well if you do the ofna take mod then the 2.5 wont be as bad as you think. For 15 dollars it cant be beat. By changing the tank out to the ofna primerless one and moving somethings around in your truck to make it work all your 2.5 troubles will slip away. Due to the heigh of the t-maxx tank and un evenness it sets the mixtures off and runs rich at full tank and dangerously lean towards the end explaining everyones tuning problems and high temps. If you want more info i can hook you up with a detailed thread on how to do this mod.
