G3R - What trans ?????

[suicideneil]

It wont fit, and you cant buy the adaptors anymore- you would need to mess up your X-braces.

The thing is though, GorillaMaxx designed the G2/3R chassis as the first electric conversion for the Revo, so it uses the only electric model based tranny that was available at the time, the 3906 one (as the x-braces are the same between the G3 and G3R).

Traxxas then bought out the Erevo a few years later, so the G2/3R is basically redundant in effect.

If you want to make a G3R, you have to use an old emaxx tranny basically, and the one I linked to on fleebay would be your easiest option infact.

Doesn't make sense though...
Why is there still a G4-chassis?
And why were there G1/2/3-chassis before that?
The E-maxx always was a electric truck, so there never was need for an electric conversion but Gorillamaxx built them anyways and still do.
I don't know how Gorillamaxx got the idea that a chassis for the E-Revo is redundant but a chassis for the E-Maxx and now the Slash is not, but I know they have a huge hole in their logic

@duramax66: If you were living in Germany or nearby, like Austria or Switzerland I could sell you my tranny with G-Maxx single gear conversion and G-Maxx single motormount (no steel idler though), but otherwise shippingcosts make this too expensive...

G4 = emaxx & 3905 tranny.

G3r = revo & 3906 tranny.

If people beg them enough, GorillaMaxx may make a G4R, a revo chassis that uses the 3905 type tranny; I heard they have one in development, but it could end up being like the MMM was many years back- a myth that no one believed would ever materialize...

The first gorillamaxx chassis didnt have a number as such, it was just a GorillaMaxx low CoG chassis. It wasnt about converting a tmaxx to electric, it was about offering a much better and more raceable chassis for the maxx platform- same reason there are so many tmaxx chassis designs out there for sale. Then there was the G2, then the G3, which both use the 3906 tranny. The G4 uses the 3905 tranny.

The first revo gorillamaxx chassis was the G2r, which was basically the G2 with different front and rear plates to attach to the revo bulkheads- it was designed with the help of RC-Monster members and beta tested to get it perfect, before releasing it for sale (RC-Monster is the home of electric conversions afterall...).

The G3r is to the G2r what the G3 is to the G2- same chassis designs, just a few tweaks and thicker material to improve stiffness.

So you see, it makes perfect sense, when you know the full history...
