thanks jo-freak,
yeah these pics sucked so bad, all you could make out was wheels and a wing. (they were a disposable camera, put on a cd)
any who, i think the only differences in the g2r/g3r is the thikness of carbon plates (like .5 mm more for the g3r). and maybe the design of the rear plate. however the dimensions are the same and the drive train layout is identical. (i remember asking gorillmaxx about using g3r plates on a g2r, and the answer was yes). when i get home (no pc there) i'll measure the steel shafts. thank you so much for taking the time to remove yours and measure, as thats probably the best way to answer my overall question (are my drive shafts incorrect ? a bad rev? or my stupidity?)
i'll let ya know either way. I'm goint to solder up the wires today
again thanks for all the help and attitude checks
