Thank-you for purchasing the Dynamite®T- Maxx Conversion Kit.This easy-to-install
kit strengthens your T-Maxx and allows you to fit a more powerful .21-.26 size engine
(Mach 26 enginge included in some kits). By replacing the chassis with a hard-
anodized version and updating the drive system to metal CV (constant velocity)
joint-type axles, you can get the most out of yourT-Maxx.

This conversion should only take a few hours to complete. It would be helpful to
complete the conversion in one day to maintain your familiarity with the assembly
process. When disassembling theT-Maxx, keep all screws and other hardware pieces
with the part they secure for easy identification. Use a threadlocking compound on
all threaded screws and nuts.
Step 1.
Remove the front and rear suspension
from the stock chassis and chassis rails.
Mount the front and rear suspension to
the new anodized chassis in the
direction shown.The front suspension
is to the right in Photo 1.

Place the vehicle upside down on the
body posts to access the lower
suspension arms. Remove the lower
suspension arm from the differential
housing to access the drive axles.
Remove the stock shafts and install
the Universal CV shafts as shown.
Replace the drive cups with the ones
provided.You may have to remove
one end of the tie rods and stabilizer
rods to access the drive axles.
Note: The setscrew that retains the drive cups must be completely removed from
the drive cup before the drive cup can be removed. Assemble in reverse order and
repeat for each suspension. Don’t forget to use threadlock on the setscrews!
Step 3.
Mount the radio system as shown. Be
sure to keep all linkages and wiring in
the proper order. When mounting the
steering servo, the output shaft
should be furthest from the front of
the chassis. Secure wiring with tie
wraps to keep them away from
moving parts.
Step 4.
Mount the fuel tank in the direction
shown.

shafts to the front and rear
differentials using the same

the drive cups as you attach the transmission. Mount in the direction shown, with
respect to braking linkage.
Step 7.
Assemble the clutch in the order
shown. It may be necessary to cut
away part of the engine’s crankshaft.
Be sure to leave at least three
revolutions of threads on the
crankshaft to secure the pilot shaft.
You may have to add shims behind the collet and on the pilot shaft for a proper fit.
If you purchased a kit with the Mach 26 engine included, the photo to the left shows
the exact shim placement.
Step 8.
Attach the engine mounts to the
engine as shown then secure the
assembly to the chassis.The gear mesh
between the clutch bell and the drive
gear should be as close as possible
without causing resistance. Snap the
throttle linkage to the slide carburetor.
Step 9.
Mount the exhaust manifold and tuned
pipe as shown. Be sure to secure the
manifold to the engine and pipe with
the included springs. Mount the front
of the pipe to the chassis with the
included hardware.
Attach the fuel lines to the engine
and pipe.The fuel line nearest the top
of the fuel tank attaches to the tuned
pipe.The other fuel line attaches to the
carburetor. Slide the air cleaner over
