Default T-Maxx Converting to E-Maxx

I have an older 2.5 T-Maxx and want to conver it to a E-Maxx with brushless motors. Does anybody know of a kit to do this or do I have to buy individual parts.

really, by the time you spend the money for all the stuff you'll need you could just buy an emaxx

I recently converted a revo to e-revo and the conversion (without battery costs) was more than a new emaxx

Really.... I just got through converting mine a few weeks ago and it only cost me about $150 for a roller of ebay, forward only and single speed conversions for the tranny, cnc motor plate (my boss made it) and I had a battery tray. I alredy had the brushless combo and radio and receiver. By the way it runs awesome with a velineon motor, MM esc and 3s lipo geared really low temps are lower than mm5700 in my stabium truck. Top speed 35-40 could easily do more with gearing but it is good for me.

just because you already have parts doesn't make them free, it just means that you've already paid for them

I didn't go the cheapest route but
tekno conversion $130 (pre-ordered for discount), could
MM esc $120 (I already had, but that's what it cost)
9XL motor $70

just that is about the same as an emaxx

Just making a example, most of the time you can find a t-maxx roller in the 90-110 range and an e-maxx about 175+ plus if he has it he should just need a few parts and of course a brushless system. My friends e-maxx weighs about 3/4 to 1lb more than my maxx when rtr. Not trying to be argumentative just really like mine and it itself didn't cost me much to do.

I already have a T-Maxx with servos and receiver, plus an extra GTB and 6.5 BL motor. Now I just need a kit to put everything in the right places.

Sounds like you are already half way there!
