When racing, you are generally smoother with the throttle. Rolling on the throttle out of turns and then braking into one and transitioning back onto throttle after the apex, etc.

When bashing, you typically just stab it whenever you can and hope the truck doesn't flip backwards. Because of this, your stuff generally heats up more when bashing.

I no longer really bash my G2R anymore because while it would hold up perfectly fine for track running, when bashing it, I always break something in the drivetrain. The reason? It is a long truck with a long wheel base and is extremely hard to wheelie. At the track, I run on dirt, so no matter what there is always a traction limit. When I bash, I usually run on street or grass and traction is pretty high. So when I launch at full throttle from a stop, all the stress goes to drivetrain because the tires don't spin and the truck doesn't wheelie.
