If I can what else do I need to make the conversion or is it a drop in replacement? Also have any of you used the Traxxas engine replacement program?

Yes, it is a direct drop in...you shouldn't need anything (other than maybe gearing it up because it's going to wheelie like there's no tomorrow). A friend has a 2.5 chassis that he just put a 3.3 in and he has geared up and put on the extended rear a-arms to help tame the wheelies a little. If your 2.5 is toast might as well send it in with the motor replacement deal...although...I would check ebay first and see what a new 3.3 is going for.

Indeed, like abj alreeady mentioned, it should be a direct drop in other than needing to possibly change the gearing a bit so it dont wheelie soo much, I mean wheelies can indeed be fun, but if it does it too much it might start to get to be a little much after awhile....

Wheat gears would you suggest puting in to cut down on the wheelies? I just bought a 3.3 to replace my dead 18tz. It came with 15/36 gearing on the tz. I am putting the 3.3 in this weekend, and figured I might as well make sure the gearing is good while I have everything apart.

15/38 is the most common gear ratio.

So 15/36 would be more low end?

I think I have the 15/36 i have to put a new spur gear on because my meshing was off and it ate the spur but the 15/36 i seem to get more top speed so it is higher geared

So where is the spur gear located on the engine or is it in the tranny?

Trans it is the big plastic gear
