Upgrading my 3906
Iīm in the middle of upgrading my Old 3906
Here is what I have done so far RRP 66T/18T double slipper 3905 steel idler gears 3905 steering with black spring and alloy servo horn Futaba MG servo Kyosho 550 motors 3905 driveshaft and wheel hubs 3905 A-Arms 17mm wheel hex Maximizer beadlock with Paddle and crimefighter tires RPM shock towers So whatīs next ? RRP 54T/15T Mod1 double slipper New 550 motors Traxxas 4ch receiver Slash receiver box Here is two videoīs of my 3906 E-Maxx in Snow HD E-Maxx in Water and mud Her is a few picīs http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...x/HPIM2348.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...x/HPIM2370.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...x/HPIM2368.jpg More picīs later :whistle: |
Sound pretty goog for brushed motors. What about a MMM combo with some lipo batteries or a 2.4 gHz radio?
|
That would be AWESOME :lol:
The MMM 2200Kv with 6s LiPo and charger...... :yipi: Itīs on my wish list :whistle: (looking over scolder to see where the misses is) No That is too expensive :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: More picīs uploading right now |

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2379.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2382.jpg RPM shock towers http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2389.jpg 3905 Steel idler gears http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2381.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2380.jpg And the test drive was in snow http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2388.jpg |
|
Where did those brace come from? Did you make them?
|
From my mind :lol:
Yup I made them with a jigsaw, drill press and a few different files Got a lot more done today (picīs later) I need to fab a bracket for the center drive shaft before I can test it And then the Formula Off-road tube body :whistle: |
You've got some mad skills Snoop. keep us posted.
|
Thankīs mkrusedc
Your NeuMaxx is bada$$ :mdr: Ooh I got my motors RRP slipper and new receiver + box Daaang thatīs a really small receiver |
The 2.4 GHz receivers are tiny. I like anything that is less weight. Also being small gives more placement possibilities.
|
I got the 2216 4ch receiver :lol:
Compared to the original, itīs tiny My FM receivers are the same size as the 2216 27 mhz I had a little time after work and I finished the extended drive shaft and bracket |
post some pics man, that thing is Loooong. whats the new wheelbase?
Again PICS!! :lol: GOOD WORK! |
Ooh you want photos :whistle:
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2562.jpg The WB is 45cm And the body is just for fun http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2558.jpg I spent all evening today mounting my new motors and the receiver box I had to rewire the ESC to make everything fit inside And then I realized that I made the shaft too short so now I need to make a new extended shaft :oops: |
I was outside testing with front wheel drive when it flipped and I busted the e-clips in a front shock
tried to drive any way and both screws on the pinions loosenīd and chewed the spur to pieces :o luckily I got a 54T Mod 1 steel spur ;D |
Snoop that is one loooooong Maxx. Can you hear it screaming for brushless? I CAN!:intello::party:
|
I am saving for a MMM :lol:
but until then I use brushed motors :whistle: New photos later :na: |
I made a 775 motor mount that centres the motor and I got Mod1 15-16-17T pinions and 49-52-54T spur gears
And I ordered new harder shock springs :intello: |
That's cool! Looks like a puller truck....keep up the good work!
|
Thankīs
The body is from my puller truck but this one will have a custom Foff tube body :lol: I just could not resist :whistle: I had to see what it looked like with that body on :party: |
Strange
That is one strange looking Maxx. So how are you making your own driveshafts? And what body is that? I have never seen an R?C 1/10 scale that long before.
|
I donīt think itīs 10th scale more like 1/8 scale :lol:
I get my inspiration from full size Icelandic Formula Off-Road and Finish R/C Foff Racing Take a look at these photos and videos Amazing Rc Formula OffRoad car (BL) Formula Offroad, Dune Buggies Racing http://slid.kapsi.fi/RC/Nightfall/ka...%20(Small).jpg http://slid.kapsi.fi/RC/Nightfall/FC...280x768%5d.JPG http://kuva1.kuvablogi.com/iso/img1721351.jpg http://kuva1.kuvablogi.com/iso/img1825022.jpg |
Nice!
What's that in the cockpit? |
It has fuzzy ears...where is linc?
|
:lol:
Here is an E-Maxx from Finland http://kuva1.kuvablogi.com/iso/img1825030.jpg Quote: First Foff test with Red Devil First test with my rc foff car red devil. 6s LiPo, Mamba monster max, 1100kv, exented gorillamaxx g3 chassis... |
Son of a biznatch, thats what I've wanted to build for my whole R/C life- those Icelandic trucks are awesome, always loved the mentalist attitude and driving.
As it is, I'd like to make a cage like that for my Gmaxx chassis, prefer it to a shell really. Assume work SnoopMaxx, do you have any pics of the new transmission/motor mount, its obscured in those pics? |
Neil Thaīt not my Foff :lol:
Itīs just to illustrate where I get my inspiration from :whistle: Here is the new motor mount I made :na::na::na: Sorry you will have to wait a little longer JERRY2KONE All will be reviled soon :party: |
The motor mount in Nightfall
http://slid.kapsi.fi/RC/Nightfall/Ni...20(Custom).jpg Motor mount in Red Devil http://kuva1.kuvablogi.com/iso/img1696117.jpg From what I can see they use RCM mounts And my new Mount for the 775 motor http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2607.jpg extended driveshaft made from a piece of 6mm Steel http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2595.jpg |
I just figured out what to do with whats left of a 3mm sheet of 6061 I have left lying around... :mdr:
Clever motor mounts- I've seen stock 3906 motor mounts doubled up to flip the motor around before, but thats only about the second I've seen that centers the motor in the chassis. I wonder if FoFF cold take off in the states much like crawling did, would make for a much more exciting offroad scene (crawling and racing combined)... |
The motor mount are designed after the 4:1 reduction gears I made for my Clod Buster and my Tamiya 3 Speed in 1987-88ish Itīs just a little bigger :yes: I know that there are many 2.2 Foff builds on RCCrawler (some of them are based on my 2.2 rig) It would be cool to see more Foff builds in The UK and US :party::party: |
Update on the Tranny modification to mount 3905 steel idler gears in the 3906 tranny
2nd gear Idler is grinded down to 11mm http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...HPIM2609-1.jpg 1st gear idler is 13mm wide, total with on bracket is 38.4mm http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2610.jpg Idler shaft bracket is filed down to 17mm so the idler gears can spin freely http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...e/HPIM2611.jpg |
Different.
On one of mine I just took the dremel and removed a few thousanths of an inch off the case where the idler shaft bearing sits. Everything rolls like a charm. I have the RC4WD aluminum tranny 1st & 2nd gears in it as well.

Itīs not quite finished yet
It took me 5― hours to weld this one But I spend 2― weeks researching and drawing before I started cutting and welding I think with a little more time and more tubing this thing is gonna look okay What do you think ? Ooh can you see witch 1:1 foff my Wraath is based on ? |
I made a Racing seat for my Foff
How To: Scale Racing seat |
Nice cage Snoop!
Looks like you used cored wire, with skills like that you need a TIG :yes: |
Looking great Snoop! How does the cage attach?
|
Yes I use a no gas cored wire welder
I have used TIG welders at work for years but I donīt have one a home :no: I donīt know how the cage attaches yet :lol: maybe a bracket from the bulkhead to the cage and in the side as well :oh: |
Bah, its a minor detail- I would suggest voodoo magic, works for me all the time when I craft up stuff... :yes: :lol:
|
voodoo magic !!!!:rofl:
Niel you're killing me :mdr: |
