Tmaxx to Electric conversion DIY ITS EASY! 

Do you happen to have a list of what all you used for the conversion?

Great, that was a great speed dude, my tmaxx already become crawler, nice convertion 👍

Have you got a link for the parts please

Hahahah love the box of stuff required for the nitro lol. I am contemplating switching mine now. I literally do not use much because of the pita it is.

i just finished doing this conversion on my 4907..castle mamba monster 2 and a 2050kv team corrally motor. 4s is brutal!!! good video man.

Have you done anything with your truck lately? Just curious. I think you have done a great job with it and I really like seeing the raw power it shows !

I have done the same diy conversion with parts, moter and esc from banggood... I just locked my gearbox with some screws and pulled the reverse gears out.... I also locked the slipperclutch.... It goes like a bat out of hell.... I can barely touch the throttle without it backflipping! :D

I stumbled upon a fully upgraded nitro sportmaxx. The tray is a little different so I hope the mount works

What spur and pinion gear are you using for your 3.3 ? I have the grey transmission and was curious what gears needed to be change to pull of that motor.

Hi I wanted to know we’re did you get the motor holder

You are good at making videos, Man! We laughed at the junk box in the beginning. Time to make my huge hunk of aluminum from 2000 run again! I Mean, Who wouldn't trust that Beard? :) THANK YOU

Well, this should be interesting. Most people go the other way, ya know? I mean they remove the nitro mill and stick in a brushless motor and never look back. Fortunately I have both, the TMAXX nitro and the EMAXX Twin 550 Titan brushed motors, big ESC and two 7.4 5200 mAh LiPo batteries. The nitro powered is bad ass and finicky as can be. But its loud, fast, is great for Bashing but not so good for crawling. It is perfect for a day when ya want to mess with fuels, starting, tuning, and always tweaking. The electric is great for any terrain. As long as the electronics are waterproof, no issues.

Would’ve been cool if you put the links to the parts used in this conversion.. other wise decent vid

@Twisted Performance What size spur gear and pinion gear did you use to get those speeds?

AWESOME JOB BRO,I'm about to do the same thing,thank u.

0:32 wrap up that box and send it my way 😂

Looks very good. I am converting my TMaxx 2.5 and planning on using a 4KV Motor (also already ordered the plate from how2 RC). I was wondering that Pinion Gear and Spur Gear set up to order? What is your set up? Thanks!

Where did you get the motor mount from what website your video is making me really really want to buy a Tmax roller off online and put electric System in it and is the Tmax kind a like the Emax or is it way way different and did you have to make new holes for the motor

Hi ... I had been thinking about making this change for a long time ... The NITRO, unfortunately if you don't have a place to do maintenance, it becomes impossible to use it ... You can link me where to buy the support, calculate that I live in ITALY ...

Im in procces of buying old tmaxx that works on 2.7mhz and planning on conversion..any pointers how and what should i need except new transmitter esc and motor

Hi i want to convert my tmaxx 2.5 to electric do you have the list of all parts i need to buy and which stores you got them, what is the cost of the project thanks

What all did u use and were to get it i wanna do it with mine?

What size pinion? How many teeth? I am 80% done with my conversion but I can’t get the 17 tooth pinion to mesh right

Well done. Nitro big pain. Nice chassis and recycle

What did you clean it with?

What all did you have to get to do the conversion?

im doing a conversion t maxx to electric can i use my stock transmitter from nitro set up

ive got a similar setup ill be making a vid a on it soon What is the miliamps of that esc? I used to have a slipper clutch on mine but I replaced it with a 3d printed part because I have so much torque going through it just completely breaks

Where did you get the pinion for it from I’m doing a conversion to electric on my 2.5 t maxx

How is that esc holding up ?

Where did you get the motor and esc???

How much was that metal plate to convert to electric?

I just got this truck like $40 without the motor components but I still have the electrical components could you give me a list of things I will need to do the conversion I don't have the money for the gas parts

did you get a program card with that esc

I’m going to transform my Traxxas to electric

How is this holding up?

Where can i get motor and esc

We need to talk I'm trying to do a revo conversion I need a motor mount dk we're to get it and how to redo trans

By 1:00, I was cracking up! I have a t-maxx .15 from 20 years ago. I'm debating on repairing or converting. I like the nitro but not the mess. This looks exactly like something I'd be capable of doing. Did you fabricate your mounting plate or purchase it? Can you provide any updates on parts? Oh, and how has it held up?

Where i can find motor mount like that for My conversion project???

what motor mount is that?

I see you're not running the regular remote that came with it do you have to buy a new remote and a new transmitter?

Where can I get the motor mount you used? I would love to convert my T-Maxx to electric.

How much did the conversion cost

What brand? Can you send links to the parts bro I wanna try my 3.3

I have a 3.3 T-Maxx that I want to do a conversion to. I'm looking to use a XLX2 (not sure on motor size as of yet) and plan on running either 6s or 8s.I'd like to somehow try to use the stock tranny (since all internal gears are updated to the Robinson racing hardened gears) along with the nitro brake setup as well to help keep ESC from straining to much while breaking with all the weight. I plan on machining a new chassis that's about 4-6" longer than stock (mainly so I can have ESC, batteries and everything else mounted to chassis and keep center of gravity as low as possible) and am using a heavy beadlock wheel/tire combo (Axial 3.8" oversized 8 spoke wheels and #1103 Proline Big Joe tires 6.39x4.25). I'm obviously gonna have to machine new brace supports (maybe out of titanium for better strength) so it's gonna be a heavy rig which is why I want to keep the stock break pads, rotor and break servo if at all possible. I'll have to make longer MIP center drive shafts to make it all work properly as well. Anyone think this is all gonna work out? Anyone think a 2 speed tranny will work with an electric motor? LOL. Worst case I'll just swap out to the E-Revo transmission and hope my XLX2 don't go up in smoke while under heavy breaking loads. Lmfao

How much does this run? I was about to sell the nitros I have and buy to electric. Not to many people in my area want to buy nitro I think this would be fun to do. Can you send me links on how to and where to get the items

how fast is that

I like the conversion but it frustrates me the speed controller is now a ROLLCAGE!

Traxxas should make a conversion kit

Does this still use the 2 speed transmission? Does it shift?

Hey are you able to put the link to the parts in the description I have one and I wish to re build it but I can’t find the parts

Save urself the hassle, the tmaxx trans is garbage! Started this conversation a year ago and have spent enuff to buy an xmaxx, now my tmaxx is awesome but have wasted alot of cash learning the hard way, get the adapter plates to use the emaxx/summit/Revo trans, get emax single motor mounting plate, rebuild the diffs (get the emaxx diffs if urs only have two screws) with the hd emaxx cup and spiders ( they have bracing, pm me if u need specific part numbers), hot racing emaxx center shafts , and 3.3 rpm arms , and 3.3 metal drive shafts...it'll take a beating and your only weak part is steering , which is what I'm working on fixing now, have a 25g servo with no servo saver and it's ok, probably going to cut a hole for second servo and use parts and pieces to make them work. I just got arrma 6s backflip tires and 17mm adapters and it needs help turning. I have a summit trans with stock spur and 26t pinion ( I run 4s) with stock 6s redcat kiaju esc and motor ( 2100kv) . Will drop to 18 or so tooth spur on 6s when my battery comes in. I've burnt out about every year in the tmaxx trans 3-4 times, spent enuff on gears to get summit trans and adapters long ago!

What you did to the transmission, it makes it have reverse?

If the slipper clutch is slipping that means your brakes not working that well either

How 2 RC has good mounts for the price.

Link to parts?

Hey guys so I’m new to rc. I have a 2.5 that I’ve been dealing with for awhile and kind of over nitro. I’m debating trying to do this or just get rid of it but they don’t sell for much. Great video but any insight would be appreciated on if it’s worth doing this with the 2.5 trans and I’m trying to figure out how much money I would actually need to put in to have a nice reliable electric rig or to just buy something else.

why not keep it 2 speed

Weak son need need a bigger motor and a bigger ESC

you can send that box of trash nitro stuff to me

Why would you do this

Just like a Tesla. Fast but no personality
