T-Maxx Classic to brushless conversion

Hello everyone,

I had a tough time doing this conversion due to a lack of easily available details so I thought I would include them in this thread.

This is a quick not necessarily complete guide to converting a T-Maxx Classic (2.5) to an E-Maxx.

The items you will need are as follows. Please feel free to substitute parts as you see fit for your own hop-up's and gearing.

Item Name ------------------------------------- Item Number

Pinion Motor Gear 17T ------------------- 5643
Brushless Screws --------------------------- 3159, 2552,
Differential's -------------------------------- 5614
Spur Gear ------------------------------------ 3960
Motor Mount ------------------------------- 3397X
Gearing Cover with screws--------------- 3977X
Slipper Clutch ------------------------------- 5352X, 5351
Rear Driveshaft ----------------------------- 5458X, 5452, 5650
Front Driveshaft ---------------------------- 5452, 5458X
Brushless Axles ----------------------------- 5451X you need 4 of these
ECU Mount/ W Screws ------------------- 5626
Mamba Monster Motor ------------------ Contact Castle Creation (Ebay)
Mamba Monster ECU --------------------- Contact Castle Creation (Ebay)
Mamba Monster Link Castlelink -------- Contact Castle Creation (Ebay)
Chassis braces, lower (black) (2) -------- 3921
Chassis ---------------------------------------- 3922A
Heavy-Duty Transmission ---------------- Can't find a part number for a complete tranny (EBAY)
Steering Servo 125oz ---------------------- 2075

Notes:

There are a number of screws that I haven't been able to locate the part numbers too.

Now You can use the T-Maxx steering set it will work but with the extra power you may want to look at getting the Full E-Maxx version.

You can use your original T-Maxx servos to do the steering but using even one of these is far superior to using two of the 2018's

The wheel mount portion of the axles needs to be removed from the 5451X and replaced with the ones from your T-Maxx. This will allow them to fit the wheel hub carriers but they have a lot less strength. If you want to keep from twisting UV joints Upgrade the hub carrier to the E-Maxx Version.

Please feel free to make revisions or suggestions to the list.
