i have had a t-maxx for only 6 mo. but i think there is diff in in differentials, ie length of shafts comming out of the side of differentials. but i dint know the details.

There has actually been 5 versions of the Traxxas T-maxx, and 7 if you count the S-Maxx and Sport Maxx.

The very first version had narrow A-arms and a black transmission with the TRX Pro. 15 Engine in it. Then they came out with the 2.5 Maxx with the longer A-arms we use today as well as the TRX 2.5 engine, still using the same black transmission. After that sat for awhile they came out with the TRX 2.5R Maxx with the grey transmission, beefier axial's and stronger axial carriers. Soon after that, the TRX 3.3 Maxx with a re-geared grey transmission and TRX 3.3 Engine. And now theres they newest of the Maxx's having a longer chassis plate, longer chassis braces, re-geared differentials, bigger tires, resonator pipe, redone steering bellcrank, and 3.3 engine.

And somewhere between all that the S and Sport Maxx was in.

ok nitroboy i have a 4908 t-maxx. you said that some models had a dif gear in the differential. is there a gear set that would be a lower ratio than i have that i could put in my t-maxx? unless its not strong enough.

I'm not sure what the ratio's are. I just know that that the 4908 maxx and new emaxx both use the same differentials are the revo. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.
