<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">The 3.3 tranny will mount directly to the 2.5 chassis. It has 2 different types of braking systems depending on which model. You will need the brake setup and appropriate center shafts.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">When shimmed correctly the RRP gears are almost bulletproof.</font></p>

I would try to find the 3.3 with the old style breaking system, same as the 2.5 I believe. To avoid headaches down the road with hardware compatibility.
If your getting the RRP kit for your max you need to buy a revo main output shaft for the transmission to make it fit in the max trans case. Part #5369 I believe. Ihave this kit in my tmaxx + jl red dot and it screams....shifts perfectly, no problems so far.

Eitherone of those with a foc should hold pretty good. With the picco 26 you may want a robinson first gearset.
