I have converted my transmission to a 2 speed electric, forward and backwards but wanted to incorporate a slipper clutch on the spur. I can see your spur is smaller than the one that came with my t maxx and was wondering what clutch and spur setup you had and whether you could point me in the right direction.
Replace the entire transmission with the newer version from the T-Maxx 3.3. It uses a better forward/reverse engagement mechanism, it has a proper slipper clutch, it uses real brake pads instead of metal plates rubbing against a cheap fiberglass disc, and it uses an electronic system called OptiDrive to detect when it's safe to switch between forward and reverse. It's a drop-in replacement for the old T-Maxx 2.5 transmission, with the only mounting difference being that it uses 7 of the 8 screw holes to bolt onto the chassis.
