Tmaxx transmissions have an internal clutch that engages with rpm. It's normal to spin like that without the driveshafts moving. The 2.5 would cog sometimes when taking off from a stop becuz of this internal clutch. The single speed conversion and remove the reverse gears would fix the cog issue but it doesn't hurt anything the way it is.
Looking back on this, I should take some of my advise from this video. Ive started to get complacent with my cleaning and now also go through a gallon of rubbing alcohol 😅

Bought a used t maxx 3.3 did just about same as you did
Cool keyboard!!
"I'm just going to scrape off the heavy stuff first"
Why didn't I think of that before using a gallon of isopropyl alcohol

If the piston wasn't burnt I'd be surprised.
It wants a 3.3, nothing else
