e maxx chassis

[rcbeast]

Is it possible to put a 3905 stock e maxx chassis on a 3906 model??

[Klausen]

Yes.

[rcbeast]

thank you very much!

[rcbeast]

what parts would i need to be able to convert an e maxx 3906
5 to a 3906 CHASSIS... such as just the parts needed to make it work with the new chassis?

Everything inbetween the front and rear bulks, including steering assembly basically. Even then, you're left with the crappy 3906 driveshafts, knuckles, turnbuckles & diffs. You're better off selling the 3906 as a complete truck or roller, and picking up a used / rolling 3905 from ebay or craigslist etc.

i am getting a updated 3905 with all new arms and difs and everything but thanks

Remember- 3905 = new emaxx, 3906 = old emaxx. Buying a new emaxx ( used, roller etc ) is usually easier in the long run compared to upgrading an old emaxx- unless the old emaxx already has loads of upgrades...

So I just busted the chassis on my 3906. Everything from the 3906 will transfer to the 3905? Is this chassis longer than the 3906?
Thanks.

Nope, tranny is different and wont mount up without some impossible-to-find FLM adaptors- even then that's only for their own chassis, wont fit the plastic stock 3905 chassis. The steering bellcranks are also somewhat different too, and the center driveshafts are different lengths..

CandyMan is selling his custom chassis though- designed to take a 1/8 scale centerdiff and it rather nice..

Is there a link for some pics of his chassis?
Really just looking for something with an extended chassis that is bash worthy. She is pretty upgraded allready with metal tranny gears, beefed up diffs, cvd's ect...
Stock chassis has such a short wheelbase.
Thanks.

You currently have a G2/3 GorillaMaxx chassis right? Which bits are messed up on it- I reckon you could get the Candyman to make you some new X-braces if needed, or the other chassis plates too...

I have the carbon fiber G2 chassis on my dual brushless Maxx but stock chassis on my basher Maxx.
Was really trying to stay away from an aluminum chassis on the basher due to some serious jumps on my buddies bmx track in his backyard. I may not have a choice though. Have you heard of people doing any serious dammage on the aluminum chassis'?

if you want bashable go with the FLM chassis. Extreme durability. I seriously doubt you could do anything to break it besides run it over with a 1:1... I have been using (EDIT ABUSING) it for 2 years and and its scratched but as good as new... its the chassis rails that get the punishment and you can get them seperate. But like I said 2 years and plenty of life left...

You can see my Rides in my link below... I even took it a bit further and run the batteries underneath for a low CG like the G2/3.
