yoodoo Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Whaaaaaay...finally uploaded. Couple of hard packs. The truck in question.. Not far off new! Nice RPM fronts.. New knuckles and drive shafts off the brushless Emaxx.. Tasty Proline Powermax. FLM Hybrid bulks... I still havn't got my RPM rear arms or Motor/ESC combo yet as these are comming from HK and it takes a bit.

yoodoo Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'll have to see how to shim these properly and maybe change the ESC/Motor combo to a more powerful one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nice collection of parts. You do realise that once you've started on a 3906 you'll end up with virtually none of it left? My original 3906 is still one of my favourites, but............. there's only about 10% of it left! The rest is hop-ups! The thing is, I don't actually regret it, it's been such a fun learning curve. I was so Green when I first got it, I didn't know anything! I threw money at it, buying bits left, right and centre! I'll never sell it! Ever! It's not great, it's not indestructible, but it's damn good and it's mine! I look forward to seeing yours finished. Crack on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nice shots, you've certainly dabbled! How many of those do you still have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoodoo Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Fifth scale? None,I have just sold my last tourer and 5T.I had 14 at one stage ,all hopped up and all runners,and enough parts to open a shop(as I was told).But I go through phase's and now I have gone back to the electric stage.I'll get bored soon as I have my eye on a hexacopter,and that'll start something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoodoo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hey Tug,if I buy these do I just need a gearbox to go with them or is there any other parts? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E-MAXX-Brushless-SPUR-GEAR-MOTOR-MOUNT-cover-slipper-magnet-TQI-Traxxas-3908-/390807556235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoodoo Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Tug,i thought I ordered the "true track" rear arms but I havn't.Will these fir? or do I need the wider ones? . http://www.ebay.com/itm/RPM-80945-Rear-True-Track-A-Arm-Conversion-Blue-T-Maxx-2-5R-3-3-E-Maxx-/380873459837?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58add3c87d Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm sure they're the wider ones that you've linked, I'd have to check on the RPM site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think the 3.3 'T' only came with wider. Should say on the RPM site I'd have thought. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think the 3.3 'T' only came with wider. Should say on the RPM site I'd have thought. Al. My thoughts too, but I wasn't 100%. How's all your projects coming on? Completed any yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi Tug, waiting to complete the house move - should get 'the contract' during this week. Once things are more settled, and I'm moved in, I should get things moving again. 'J', sorry for the threadjack. With the 3908 based chassis, you should be able to fit a Revo centre diff I'd have thought. That way you can play with the centre diff viscosity AND up the power without having a performing seal. Al.

b19jas Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) The wider A arms and shafts first made an appearance on the 2.5r Maxx truck. I was hungry to get my hands on them as I installed the Picco 21 into my 2.5 and it made a right mess of the shafts. It wasnt produced for long before Traxxas played a little with the 3.3. They made a short chassis version of the 3.3 ( not for long ) which was the 4909 before lengthening out to the current longer chassis.
