Is this the Chassis or the Chassis Brace that broke? Or both!?
 

Well, I have a Halloween party on Friday, and just HAD to get my EMaxx with some upgraded fun stuff to test and all. It's always customary for me to bring it, just so I can showboat? :rolleyes: Well, maybe not, but my friends enjoy running them once in awhile.

Anywho, had too take it out, and started getting cocky with this speed... And hit a curb. <_< WHAT! I was doing a nice long wheelie, and when it landed, went full speed into the curb, did a nice spinout, and looked cool nevertheless. :lol:

Anywho, got some pictures up, and seeing if I broke the chassis, the chassis brace, or both? :wacko:

Direct links, so I don't get in trouble for oversized pictures. After all, they're macro sized. ;)

Looks like you just broke the front bulkheads.

No kidding!?

Oh em gee!

Hmmm, now if only tower could get me a shipment before friday. I doubt it.
Ugh.

support your LHS, I'm sure they have some T/E MAXX bulkheads in stock. Common Problem, I can't remember how many I went through on my T-MAXX

LHS only has 3905. Or will those work as well?

Eh, after thinking about it, no need to put a rush in all my orders. Juyst gonna take my ESavvy out for the Fri thing.

Thanks guys!

So, the question is if the 3905 bulkheads (front) will work with the 3906 front bulkheads?

yes they'll work, all the bulkheads are the same, 3906, 3905, T-Maxx/2.5R/3.3

Ah, off to the LHS I am!

You also need a new skid and shock shafts. The holes on the skid are broken and the shocks are bent.

Now, how on earth did I miss that?
Jumped up from bed (I read my email off my phone, just for a check, when I wake up) and rushed the the Maxx. And unfortunately, apparently one shock shaft is bent, like Tempted noticed.
(thanks!)

Is the bulkhead skid aluminum thing really a must to have it straight?
I already ordered myself a whole new set of screws from rcscrewz.com.
I also own RPM Wearplates, which is right behind me right now.

Do they sell stock shock shafts?

Searching for a skid plate to replace...
Will this work?

Yes, it's for the TMaxx, but I can't find the model TMaxx. I know it should fit if it's the 2.5, but what if it's the 3.3?
And will this fit with my EMaxx RPM Wearplates?

Also, where can I get stock shock shafts?

I got some new bulkheads, plastic, front and back for 5.75 for F, and 5.75 for R...3905 model.

Stock shock shafts is what I need!

For shock shafts, will these work?
Yes, TMaxx again

it's all the same stuff for the e-maxx

How about the shock shafts?

Those are titanium shafts for BigBore shocks. If you have BigBores they will fit. I am not sure about other shocks.

How about these?

But is the stock shocks Ultra Shocks?

Yes, stock shocks are Ultra Shocks.

Thanks!
So these are the correct ones.

The hard chrome seems to be 3 bucks for two rods, and don't feel like paying 10 bucks for 2 rods :O

Maybe later. :D

Thanks guys!

Yep, those are the ones you need.

Thanks so much! Hope to get my beast back up and running!

Yeah I just felt like wasting a few minutes of my life over at the TRX forums and saw your post. They are undeniably unhelpful over there. The mods are more concerned about bashing and flaming members who disagree rather than help with any decent knowledge. Coolio makes me laugh everytime I read one of his posts. His information in incredibly dated and in some cases completely irrelevant. Its always "it used to be" or "back when I bought it" or he completely ignores the question and strays off topic to some unrelated form of "advice". I still harbor a hatred for them because of how I was treated. Anyone want a V-Twin E-Maxx?? lol.

Back on topic, remember your diff needs to go in with the screws facing left if you are looking at the front of the truck. Otherwise you have a very amusing one truck tug-o-war and are required to disassemble the front end and turn the diff over.
