E-Maxx 3905 rebuild

[Mr E-Maxx]

Hello Guys,

I'm ready to polish my parts. It was a lot of work.

Here is an example:
Left side before and right side after polish....

When I cleaned the parts I saw that my FLM Motormount is bent.
The holes in my Bulkeheads and my CC 2200kv Motor are not available anymore.
So before I can build it up I will need some new parts. Are the Traxxas Bulks Ok? What can I do with Motor? I can't put off the Backplate. What Motormount can hold the Motor better at the end?
Sometimes I hate this Truck. It etas my money.
So if anybody has some Ideas please help me.

What do you mean with the holes are not available anymore?
That the treath is stripped?
Can't you tap a bigger size screw in it?
If not, then I would go for new FLM bulks because the plastic ones arent very good.
RPM has bulks now, but I like a drivetrain with very little flex, so aluminum would be my choise there.

For a Castle 1515 you can get rebuild kits, they include a new front and rear bell, rotor, and bearings if I am correct.
If you want to pull of the endbell, remove all the screws, and push the axle hard to a table or workbench, it should pop off then.
I have never seen a motormount that hold the end of the motor to.
Just the front should be enough.
Doesn't Mike have a motormount?

Hi,

Yes the treath in the hole is stripped.(sry but I didn't found a better translation)
The RPM Bulks didn't work at my truck. I broke them at the same point like the Stock one after one little jump.
I didn't mean the plastic one of Traxxas. I mean the blue alu Bulks.
The FLM Bulks are a option too.

Hey, Finally someone with the same problems ( langauge ) in the same time frame :)

Personally I would go for FLM because of their good name.
I don't know what the price difference is between the FLM and the Traxxas ones?
I don't have an Traxxas vehicle, so I don't know a lot about them :)
Maybe an other option is UE ( don't know their whole name, unlimmited engenering? from the Gorilla maxxes for instance ) they have a good name to.

The FLM bulks will be stronger than the Traxxas aluminum bulks - FastLane also has an extreme abuse warranty - send the broken bulk back and they will replace it for the cost of shipping in most cases. Same with the motor mount. :-)
