tmaxx3.3 trans into older 2.5 maxx
Does anyone know or have tried a new 3.3 maxx tranny in the older trucks? Is the new tranny better? I have killed a couple of older trannies with my os 18 and picco 21. I plan on going to a picco .26 this winter, but I think my tranny is slipping the internal clutches so time for an upgrade I guess!

yes it will work the chassis is the same and it is a lot better trannsmission because it was designed for the revo (new design for a newer truck).

The Newer Transmittion's are said to be lighter. I have a T-maxx 3.3 And I've never had any problems yet. You will have to buy a brake set for it to. the new style brake system cause the older style will NOT work I tried it.

The transmission is better becuase it is not prone to failure as much as the older tranny. So far, I have not seen anyone with a 3.3 transmission problem. It is worth upgrading to becuase the reverse actually works, and the gears wear down a lot less.
