T-Maxx is legendary for providing the perfect balance of size, speed, power and agility. With the new T-Maxx 3.3, we’ve turned that balance upside down with mind-boggling, over-the-top horsepower. Chances are you’ve never driven anything like this before. Just how powerful is the new T-Maxx 3.3? The wheelie bar is mandatory installed equipment! The TRX 3.3 delivers brutal bottom-end torque for amazing wheel-standing launches along with hard-charging acceleration that is second to none. Hammer the throttle at any speed and the T-Maxx responds like a caged animal that’s been unleashed for destruction. Top speeds soar past 45mph!. The T-Maxx 3.3 is without question the most powerful T-Maxx ever made!
 

More Engine, More Power, More Speed!
The TRX 2.5 set the bar and was heralded as “the most powerful smallblock engine we have ever tested” by RC Car Action Magazine. The TRX 3.3 is bigger, faster and puts out a whopping 60% more peak horsepower compared to the TRX 2.5. The overall power under the curve is nearly 50% greater. This means you get smooth, linear power output with increased performance and responsiveness across the entire RPM range. Of course, not everyone is ready for this kind of power. The TRX 3.3 is for drivers at the highest skill level who have the experienced reflexes for extreme speed and acceleration in the T-Maxx.
 

Adjustable Wheelie Bar
The T-Maxx 3.3 comes equipped with a new adjustable wheelie bar (patent pending). With so much power on tap, it’s a must have! The wheelie bar has 4 snap-in adjustment positions that allow you to choose how extreme you want your action to be. In the down position, it keeps the front end of the T-Maxx planted to show off the incredible acceleration possible with the TRX 3.3. Raise the wheelie bar to its full-up position and the action gets wild, with giant wheelies that hang on as long as you keep mashing the throttle… even through second gear! The T-Maxx 3.3 is faster on two wheels than most other trucks are on the ground. It’s an amazing thrill show that will put your driving skills to the test again and again. The unique design allows it to be easily removed in situations where you may not want the additional control.
 

OptiDrive™ Electronic Shift Module
T-Maxx 3.3’s transmission delivers innovative two-speed, forward/reverse operation in an ultra-compact package. The new gearbox design combines the compactness of the T-Maxx platform with the internal transmission components that have been proven reliable on and off the track in the Traxxas Revo. The incredible Torque-Control slipper and a powerful 42mm disc brake are carried over from the Revo for superior traction control and braking performance. The OptiDrive electronic shift module uses advanced microprocessor control to sense vehicle speed and optimize forward and reverse shifting. Direction control is performed via a third channel on the transmitter. This revolutionary, patent-pending system allows the transmission to be lighter with fewer moving parts for reduced inertial mass and greater torque handling. OptiDrive provides constant drive engagement for seamless, responsive acceleration. Combine that with the power of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine and you've got incredible hard-hitting, wheels-up launches that will put the wheelie bar to the test. The wide ratio, adjustable two-speed transmission provides no-compromise acceleration and unmatched top speed in one package.
