Will the ue pillowballs fit the 3905 e-maxx?

Yes, they are the same as the factory balls. If you want to save weight though get the traxxas teflon coated aluminum balls. not as strong as titanium or steel but alot lighter.
As far as paddles in the sand I would think youd want to gear up because the paddles always have very little traction and more paddle speed displaces more sand creating more movement. Probably be easier on electronics also.

I haven't read any good things about the alu ones, I read they break easily. You think they'll hold up?

I'll try different gearing with the paddles. Starting on the Muggy.
