Pico .26
Hi all
.
Just wondering what would be involved in converting a standard tmaxx .25 to a pico .26. I have the engine. Is it a straight conversion, or should I be on the lookout for additional brackets etc. Many thanx.

RE: Pico .26
The stock driveline is going to be very stressed out like an air traffic controller without coffee
(that's a bad picture huh) and the diffs are going to be pretty upset as well.

RE: Pico .26
welcome to the real word. Here the the first hand skinny on putting a .26 pico in your maxx. i just got mine up and running. i'm breaking in the motor now but it is very cold here.
Too cold too be out side.
You will need a longer chassis. I got a XTM conv. kit $129.00. It as steel cvd drive shafts, and moves the throttle servo so it works better with a sided carb. You will toast your your t-maxx clutch real quick. 3 tanks or so. i put a strobe slipper clutch from unlimit engineering $22.00 on the trans. so i can run a 1/8 scale clutch 18/51 gears. The first time out for break-in runs at full throttle it took the teeth off the forward gears. both primary and output gear. I up graded too RRP's Forward only kit all harden steel gears $ 52.00. and i know that the rear ends are next. RRP makes steel dif gears for the rears$25.00 Ea. but i do not know how well they will hold up to a .26. (UE.) also makes diff housing and kits so you can put 7.5 diffs in your t-maxx, but thats big money about $400.00 way too much for me. but will hold up to just about anything. I also have ofna Monster Blazer wheels & tyers. The ofna 1/8 scale 3 shoe flywheel and clutch $36.00. but a HPI flywheel & clutch from a Savage 21 or SS will get the job done for half the price $16.00 Thats what i got for mine.
Well thats all for now if you need to know more just ask.
