That's a very good suggestion -- I hadn't thought of that option for a longer chassis. I think for now I'll continue with the 3906 ugprade with the stock chassis, and then if/when it fails, I'll...

Yeah, after some more thinking and consideration of your inputs, I've decided to just stick with the original project of upgrading the 3906. I went ahead and got the RobinsonRacing Slipper -- found...

Thanks for the input. After I posted, I found a review of that truck and its 1/8 version, and both reviews found them to be lacking in the durability department, so I've pretty much written them off...

Is it worth continuing to upgrade a 3906?

Okay, I've been away from the hobby for several years now. At the time, I was working on upgrading my 3906 E-Maxx. I have installed quite a few upgrades like the Proline PowerStroke shocks and...

That's a nice ride. I figured it was the Harley Truck because of the big H-D logo on the hood, like the Harley-Davidson Edition G-Maxx or something like that.

I only used enough of the lube to put a light coat on the teeth. I replaced the spider gears, spider shaft, and output shafts, and the action is really smooth now. Just for kicks, I put in one of the...

Thanks for the input. Eventually I may upgrade to the 1/8 diffs, but right now the checkbook pretty much says I gotta stop at the brushless setup. Then the next step will be getting a G-Maxx...

The bearings in the diff case seem to be in good shape and the right size, but like I said, the issues seem to be inside the diff cup where there are no bearings. I just looked at it again, and if I...

Here's another update. I took a closer look at the diff, and I'd be very surprised if there's a shim available to take that up. Even if there is, it's the action inside of the diff cup that seems...

Okay, got a quick question regarding shimming the diff. If I understand things clearly (which is likely suspect at this time), there is a shim inside the diff cup with the spider gears (Traxxas Part...

Thanks for the input. I did get carbon steel CVDs and center shafts as part of the deal, and the diff cups should be aluminum with the 3mm screws and upgraded gears, so I think I'm good there. I...

Looks like I got off easy. Only the lower A-arm seems to have suffered any damage. I guess I'll put off the RPM upgrade for the time being.

E-Maxx radio upgrade

Another recommendation I would add, which I've read other places as well, is that you might want to consider removing the batteries from the chassis when you charge them.
