Gee daf. I was kind of wondering the same to. The higher center makes for better bashing sometime.

Just had a close look at both of them. In my stock chassis the tranny sits higher, indeed. A bit less than 2cm difference.
And the Gorilla always seems lower because the center plate is so wide, too.
Yes, the stock chassis is better for bashing, IMHO. The Gorilla screams for tracks.

Thanks daniel. I keep this in mind if i go revo. I keep looking but haven't got one yet.

Okay, here are some pics of the underside. It gives you an idea.

I guess all of you know how it looks on a Gorilla, so I haven't bothered taking pics of mine. (Would have been useless in terms of demonstrating the tranny clearance anyway, since I run a center diff)

Hope this clears it up.

Well the tranny don't hang no lower than the bottom plate on the g2r. Thanks for the pic. I was just wondering which one to go with.

For bashing I would still go with the stocker, and maybe one of those Hardcore Racing Titanium skids.

thx for the pics.

You're welcome! Always!

ay dafni like ur conversion and plan on doing sumthing like it like every1 else is. i got a question for the tranny mounting on the stock revo chassis did u just line up the tranny with the holes already in the chassis and drill in some other more holes?

Yeah, it seems so :) Glad to be an inspiration to so many people!


Yeah, you have to drill some more, and I "moved" the existing holes with a small round file a bit. Just a mm or so. Actually quite easy to do.

Just LMK when you have more Questions!

yea i was trying to get the driveline in the center straight and ended up shaving more metal so i didnt have enouh meat to drill holes. i may just end up using bits of an e-maxx chassis and bolt on to the revo chassis

My tranny is off-center. (actually not a bad thing, with one motor)

Check the pic to see how I re-inforced the area around the holes with some alu:

thanks dafni these were very helpful u got the info i needed now i need to get some new dremel atachments the chassis chewd mine away i saw the sander shrink every time i started sanding down until it was gone.

I don't use the dremel for chassis-fights anymore. For this kind of work I use files (rasps), a rough file and a finer file. Full-contact, head-on :) Have fun.

Welcome, mate. Anytime. And make sure to post pics of the finished truck!
