Need some setup help guys, G2R

[crazyjr]

Well I'm at an impasse, I want a center diff (be it revo/1/8 buggy whatever) it seems my only option is the E-revo/maxx tranny. I don't have the tools to make my own adapter plates for the conversion (lost a lot from thieves when i moved, including my dremels), so i might have to go E-revo chassis on this. I really hate to have to do it, I've had a G2R literally since the beginning of my electric re-conversion (from the beginning of the G2R as well). I wish someone still did an adapter for this, I know fastlane did, but try to find one now. Anywho, I'm still working on getting the money up to do this and will keep you up to date on progress, thanks for the advise

Since I've been outa the loop, I've obviously missed some stuff, but what are you referring to with the adapters? Link or something to what your talking about?

Also, I think I would go with a Revo tranny, center diff, mechanical brakes, RCM motor mount, and Tekno battery tray. Thats pretty much EXACTLY what I have currently. I don't think handling could get any better with a tranny.

As for the setup, definately get P2 rockers, something like 50wt oil, GTR shocks (you can buy all 4 off Ebay from a E-Revo or something for like $30 and you'll have the GTR shock bodies, coated shock shafts, and the better pistons), and I would get the aluminum pushrods and turnbuckles, Tekno sway bars, and probably the Tekno 8mm axle/knuckle kit.

Squee, nice to see you on again. What i want to do, is rebuild the G2R for racing in Rc Pro. I was hoping that Mike was still going to do the slipperential V.2 transmission for the gorilla based revos, but it seems that everyone wants a center diff only. My problem is that RC Pro only recognizes transmissions for MT's, not center diff only. Its looking like my only option is the Emaxx/revo tranny, a couple guys have already made a 1/8 diff setup for it. There were some adapter kits from fastlane, that would adapt the new maxx tranny to a fastlane chassis. But since they updated the chassis, they don't make them anymore. If i can't find a way to make the pieces i need, I'm stuck with the E-revo chassis. I love my G2R chassis, but right now, its looking like too much work for just a center diff

oh and Squee, this is my G2R not the 3.3

That's exactly what i wanted, But i might not need it after all. I was going to quote the RC Pro rules, to show the transmission rules. But after reading them closer, there are no rules for transmissions. I Emailed Carlton Epps about it and expect an answer soon. Maybe Mike it on the verge of a buzzkill for nitro. Maybe this is the evolution jump-off point for MT's as we know them, could be intresting to see what happens

On a side note, I think there is still a market for the Transmission. This desisn would be an easy conversion for savages , MGT's and LST's, practically a bolt in, just need a place for batteries and esc

Yea, I understand your situation. I know its a G2R, but if you have to run a tranny, and want to run a center diff, I'd basically just convert a nitro Revo. You can have the tranny, center diff, mechanical brakes if you like, and so on. There many options to convert the nitro Revo. I just left mine with the 2 speed, RCM motor mount, center diff, mechanical brakes and I think I'm about to get a Vantage chassis to replace the stock 2.5. That should make for one killer handling truck.
