They look like they would work but just to be safe ask the seller if they will. He should be able to cross reference them.

If I'm not mistaken, the T-maxx uses 1/10 scale shoes. A bit on the small side. You need 1/8 scale shoes. Ofna & Mugen make sets that would work, but there are others.

You need to stay with 1/8 scale clutch shoes. TMaxx shoes are smaller. One other comment, you may need to buy the flywheel nut that matches the brand of shoe you are buying. You want to make sure the groove in the nut (that the clutch spring rides in), and the groove in the clutch shoe line up so the clutch spring fits snug. I have had some issues with trying to mix and match shoes and nuts, and the clutch springs wont seat properly. It's generally not a problem with the stock Savage flywheel, but if you are running a different flywheel it might be. I do a lot of swapping clutches, so I have 1 of every 1/8 SG clutch nut so I can always get a good fit. Kyosho, Ofna, Mugen, HPI all the clutch nuts are slightly different in length. One last must have is the Ofna clutchbell shim kit, which makes shimming the bell a snap.
