Oh well, If mine pops you won't find me crying, feigaio's more of a ''throw away'' motor these days......

Well, the rear end bell is threaded with a set screw to keep it from backing out, but the pinion side isn't threaded. I guess it's a pretty common/well known issue.
Here's when it happened:

Yeah, Jerry, the slipperential with a 3906 mount would be ideal, but you're right, I'd hafta bolster the rest of the drivetrain to handle it and in that case, I'd also be spending lots of money to get er back up to snuff which really wouldn't be worth it to me.
Best way I could imagine going about it is putting the slipperential in the 3905(if that's an option) and swapping all my 3905 drivetrain components into the t-maxx and upgrading the 3905 with hybrid or 8th scale diffs and most likely the summit driveshafts.
At that point, I'd either have to replace the 7xl rotor or swap it out for the KB45 which would migrate the stress back to the poor MM depending on gearing and how I drive. I'd also lose the mech brakes which were mitigating the 7xl heat buildup.

It was a fun project while it lasted, but I can't justify investing any more money in it since I already have the 3905 and e-revo both sporting monster combos.

I might just run my cheapo nimh packs in it in 1st gear and use it to tow my nephew around in his little red wagon...or I might be able to sell it as-is.
