Hi I bought a 2.5 new t-maxx and installed a k&n air filter cool air pipe too. forgot to oil filter and sucked sand in and messed up piston. any way I bought a 3.0 sirio tx-18 off ebay hasnt arived yet but wondered if any one else has done this ? and what other upgrades ill need to make? I also put in a 6volt rx pack. and black trinity springs. will I need to get the new 18 pipe? they say maxx pipe will work? any hop up ideas?
