My 3906 Mutation

Thats some clever fabrication going on in there- like a volvo; boxxie, but safe...

So, how easy is it to get to a broken diff, or whatever needs servicing?

[redshift]

Ah yes I know what you mean Brian, my roof was pristine until last night when I put it on it's lid and skated it about 40 feet on the pavement..... ouch!

Dang, that is one crazy E-Maxx. It looks like it can handle a whole lot of abuse!

[redshift]

Brian, the diffs are buried, that is a downside. Easily 1/2 hour to get to them, which is another reason I am using a spool. I only need to worry about bearings in the rear, and with the spool there's no axial distortion to put side loads on the bearings.

Thye front was just upgraded to the Revo diff, and I did a simple mod, just drilled the 4 existing screw holes in the diff cup and tapped them 4-40, which is only slightly larger than 2mm, but has much more thread depth, and they are the full length of the holes. I am using standard bearing grease in the trans and pumpkins, and the front cup.

The upside is.... everything else is very quickly serviceable. The trans is out in less than 5 mins, and just by pulling the skidplate I can lube or remove the centerdrives.

It is in some ways like working on a 1:1, there is a very specific sequence, and one forgotten item may take an hour to re-install, so I don't do that lol.

Old thread but after you posted for the Al carriers and I saw your Avatar I had to go looking. Major props that is one sick build!

[redshift]

Thank you sir.

You guys are real hobby professionals, so I take the compliments here in the highest regard!

[What's_nitro?]

Hey now, I remember this one too! That is some fine work you've done. I wish I had the tools to do the same. I think when I get aroud to building a crawler I'm gonna do something like that for the body instead of the standard roll cage w/polycarbonate thing.

WOW!!! That's one heck of a truck! Some real nice custom mods on it!

P.S. I'd like to see it race lol just run everyone over.
