You can save the hassle of getting a chassis and bb manifold.
For the people that haven't figured it out the picco maxx .26 is a big block displacement with a small block crank case. Which basically means it's a big block with a shortened crankshaft.
So I guess what ever route you take make sure to have extra parts and diffs on hand or upgrade to 1/8 scale diffs. oh yeah and with a bigger motor means more fuel so you might want a bigger fuel tank too... proline makes one. Not that i'm trying to steer you away from having a big block T-Maxx.. Cause I put a big block in my T-Maxx I was fun until my second tank then it seemed like I couldn't go a tank with out some thing breaking like drive shafts, wheel hexes and rim hexes rounding out or diffs and bearing failures. And the bulkheads I kept breaking from all the crazy jumping I couldn't stop myself from doing.
So after a butt load of money I wised up and realized that traxxas put a 2.5 in the T-maxx for a reason and got myself a LST. Good luck
