Not to step on anybodies toes here but, if your budget can handle it, the G2R is the best RACE chassis available.
The bomb-proof chassis looks very intersting but without the ability to place packs on either side of the chassis, for weight balance, the G2R has several advantages for racing.
1. The G2R has a very low CG (The lower plate of the G2R is as low as you can go without sacrificing stock ground clearance.) Anything lower than the G2R will probably constantly bottom out on jumps.
2. The G2R has the ability to mount emaxx or tmaxx trannies (As well as the slipperential)
3. The G2R has many motor mount options (center, off center, left, or right)
I like the innovation of the bomb-proof chassis but I think its weak links are the lack or option of a side-by-side pack config and motor mount options. There's definetly potential there though.
I also find it a bit complicating that companies do not have a standard diff fluid weight measurement. I use Mugen diff fluid for all my vehicles. The traxxas 100K fluid seems to be less than the Mugen 10K fluid.
So when I hear people using 250K or 300K it sounds outrageously high. Mugen 10K works well for me on hardpack dirt, I'd probably go to 30K on loose dirt.
