anybody got a G2R yet
 

who will be the first. Post them if you got them

Well if they ship out tomorrow i should have it by thursday, but that will just show the chassis and f/r ends with the shafts, the whole truck should be done before spring:)

mine should be with me by tuesday or wednsday

You used the faster shipping eh?

Mike told me the price and shipping and i sent a money order. he got it today so when it ships it should get here quick

we are on December 16, 2005 and I also the departure of my kit g2r for France waits

Ha, myn shipped yesterday (friday) , mikes outta stock now, i cant wait, daredevil, what did you order?

my order left I will receive drives shafts later

Oh, so when did you order it? I was just waiting for the whole kit:p

Mine left as well without shafts. hopefully they will show up soon. may try some Emaxx long sliders for the time being

You guys have no patience eh, well i do:)

i have no patience where dem pics at.....

as soon as i get the chassis i will post some pictures

ill get some if i get it tomorrow or thursday.

how long is the shipping? is it parcel or priority?

priority ems

got mine today. about ten minutes agohope to get pictures posted in a day or so

Good, now go build it and tell us how it goes! How does it look at first glance, I CANT WAIT TILL TOMORROW!

I'll get mine soon. Too bad I just can't put stuff together like it's supposed to be, always have to tweak things! So it will be a while until you see pics of mine ;)

I bet mine will take longer, daf, im gonna take my time and do it right!

to all who ordered the chassis. You should get the shafts with it. mine came with the chassis

to anybody who has ordered this chassis you need to turn the differential so it runs backwards, if you run the spur to the rear. If you run the transmission backwards(spur to front) you will be ok. If you are running brushless you can change the wires to reverse rotation. but if you are running the titans you have to turn thr differentials over to reverse their rotation

Ill be running BL so im safe, were there any modifaications needed to install the chassis onto the f/r ends? Or was it a bolt on?

Ahh, its almost 2:00p.m and still no sign of the mail man, its been 6 days and stuff:( Maybe theyre on christmas break:(

I found out you can run the motor backwards with no loss in power. don't know about the fans yet but i'll follow upwhen i know

your not supose to run a brushed motor reversed like that. there not like brushless. that have a certain direction there supposed to turn.

I thought you could do it as long as the motor didn't have timing. Which I don't think a titan does.

True. You can run a motor with adjustable timing with reversed polarity as long as the number of degrees of timing a put the opposite direction as they would be for standard spinning.

all it is, is a 550 mabuchi. they never time them. My only concern, is that the fans might be one direction only, so i am watching close

pics?

working on it, want to use all the film and get it prosessed

Good, howd the assembly go?

It went well. you really need to follow the directions to the letter. One thing though. Put the drive cups on first before you start to assemble and it helps if you have past experience with a revo, but if you follow the directions to the letter you will be ok. One problem though, the G3 battery straps are too wide for the slits in the chassis if you have a grinding bit small enough you could make it wide enough. Not a major problem, but you need to know.

Good, i will have to follow the instructions, ill install the drive cups first, as for the slits, i dont need to use them cause im gonna run 16 cells:)

the servo arm may hit with 8 cells on that side it will be close

I just got it, but it didnt come with those stand offs, the big ones and small :(

I took my G2R to my LHS today to show off and try on their track (small but a track none the less) it handled excellent it has great rotation in the turns, but it is a little nose heavy. I'm running the stock revo setup so i need to work on it, but first impressions are that the Emaxx definately has competition in electric racing.

So far the reverse wiring of the motors has had no ill effects, I swaped the 64 tooth spur gear to a 70 tooth, because the G2R revo is a little heavier than the Emaxx that i ran before. Now it has better punch and no loss in speed now i need to step up to 14 cells and see what happens.

just got mine yesturday, I should have it up 4 new years

SaME here pcnutz, im already making my second order!

I have another revo I my convert, but I did not get enough Christmass cash to pick up another hehe, I am gonna wait till after the summer to see how my first one does, I know it will be a show stopper at the track this year
