T maxx Transmission question
i have an older t maxx 2.5 chasis. I was wondering if the revo 3.3 transmission will fit? I am working on seting it up for racing and would like to have the center diff and rear brake set up. Any help greatly appreicated.

RE: T maxx Transmission question
just by looking at both trannies I would say no.....the Revo tranny is designed to sit lower into the chassis than the maxx tranny.
Could be wrong here but since they are 2 different chassis arrangements even if you got it to fit somehow the handling characteristics that the centre diff and rear brake add to the Revo wouldn't neccesarily carry over to the Maxx truck.
the maxx tranny is capable of handling track conditions as well heres some interesting reading for you

theres 3 parts to that article....invaluable info ifin' u wanna race a maxx truck against Revos...even then unless you are the next super star driver laying undiscovered in mid-america some Revos are gonna spank ya all over the track
Trust me LOL been there done that didn't even get a T-shirt.
The Tmaxx is a basher at heart bottom line....Its still a tonne of fun on the track and after all thats what its about right?
my point in all of this: put a FOC in the Maxx tranny...adjust the shift point to suit the track layout.....put the new 3.3 sealed diffs in the front and rear and tune with various fluid viscosities......do that and it will handle better than a Maxx with a Revo tranny if you get it to fit right in the first place.
