I don't know much of Mike's G2R setup, but I did wrench for him a bit at Monster Madness III in CT back in October when he ran the prototype G2R. This was the truck that can be found in pictures here in another thread, and was also pictured on Traxxas' website in a Slayden article.
For batteries, he ran 5s (2s and 3s packs) 3200 Kokam/FMA lipo packs. The 2s pack was on the motor side and the 3s pack was on the opposite side. The packs were held in with Gorilla straps.
The controller was mounted along the center line of the chassis.
For tires, he started with Response tires and switched to BowTies.
I rebuilt the shocks with 50wt all around...I don't remember the springs.
I swapped from some aluminum (Integy, I think) rockers to the Traxxas P2 rockers.

It's not a whole lot of information, but I hope it's useful. :)

This was during the qualifying day (Saturday) - he may have changed more for the race day (Sunday).
