Heres your proof that u can put a .25 in first-generation t-maxx. Took two days strait of working on it. I still have to do the linkage but hey a .25 in a first-generation t-maxx[X(]

matts6887

Where's the proof(pics) or a link to some pics?

racemaxx24

I can't get the stupid thing to upload them. I keeps saying'' website cannot be displayed''[sm=punching.gif]

racemaxx24

Now it worked. Look at the first post

matts6887

Looks good so far man! Just keep working at at. Im sure once u get it all together that thing is gonna be a beast with a .25 in it!!

racemaxx24

I hope so. When I went to the LHS yesterday and told them what I was doing, I got a look that couldn't be explained by words LOL

matts6887

Why did they give u a "look"? Were they probably thinking it couldn't be done? Well if thats what they were thinking; u certainly proved people wrong on that one he he he

racemaxx24

They thought a .25 in place of a .15 was overkill I guess

Nice I have 1 in my Dominator I have been wanting to install in my T-Maxx. What all did you need to do to fit it? I would love to see some video of it to!

racemaxx24

I had to do alot of dremel work to the shock tower and the shock tower mounts on the bulkhead. I also had to cut the crankshaft.

racemaxx24

Well I am done with the linkage and all. All I have to do is find a rotostart or a p/s so I can get it running

matts6887

Cool. Got any more pics to share of what was done??

rcnitrohead

Not to be a weiner, but if you have to remove one shock and tear up the chassis, I'm sure many people would rather just extend the truck[&o]

mindwreck

is that a mock up or are you finished? because your engines only mounted with 2 screws[&:]

cmerritt

ya are you going to drill two more holes to match up with the engine mount or stay with 2??

racemaxx24

I don'ty know. I should probably drill two more but it would be easier with just two. IDK

RCCanuck

that engine is going to be flexing all over the place.....its going to chew through spur gears and clutchbells......you know you can buy a kit that will mount that engine up properly...it comes with an extended chassis and rear driveshaft.

digifox

Now you just need a 3 Speed in it...Lulzers

racemaxx24

It probably will but I am broke so I will just have to try it with the stock chassis

cmerritt

on the rear shock tower, if you put something in between the top and bottom parts, it will be stronger. mounting it on the side can cause it to break off if you land hard off of a jump

racemaxx24

I did. The first picture I posted shows a piece of wood that goes between the bottom and top pieces.

cmerritt

ya what im saying is that if you put it under the top part and over the bottom.

like this

u have it mounted on the side of the top and bottom part. if you mounted it inside the top and bottom it would support the top part instead of just bracing it.

racemaxx24

Now I see. I will try to do that but theres hardly any room because of the header. I going to go take some pics and post them. Thanks for the help cmerritt

cmerritt

no problem. i just did a physics project where i had to brace two supports. i had what you have now and it broke so i went to the internal support and it worked great.

it's a proven concept!

racemaxx24

Heres some new pics- I really need a rotostart to start it but there too expensive. If any of u all have one, LMK
