What to build with $1000 - 01.24.2008, 11:25 AM

Ok. First things first.

i just want to bash. and i dont like badlands.
i have a 1210i charger for this project. thats all. i was thinking a g2r revo with the v1 slipperential, assuming mike can still make one. wabash and masher wheels and tires? neu 1512? i want vg accel and as few wheelies as possible. quark 80a? 4s lipo? 6s? sooo many questions..... just suggest away....

if it doesnt have to be a truck you could do a hyper 7 conversion, they are pretty cheap and it would leave you some extra money to spend on electronics

Is the G2R chassis design solid enough for rough bashing? Not knocking it, just curious. It looks lower for better racing CG, but I would think the stock Revo chassis might be better.

But, I too favor a buggy design. Tough as nails and if you want wheelie power, either lock the CD or use really thick oil...

For bashing, i wouldn't advice the use of a g2r or any gmaxx chassis for that matter.

The V1 slipperential won't work with the revo gmaxx conversion btw. You need the V2 to work with the revo.

A better option is to get a savage and get the FLM conversion kit; that's about as ultimate as a basher can be.

I am currently working on getting a savage (waiting on my order from Mike)

i will use;
flm conversion
flm bulkless
8 ofna buggy rear shock
buggy shocktowers for the savage
flextek arms
newera steering knuckles/c-hubs in front;
fixed uprights in the rear.
UE cvd's.

That's about as tough i can think of for a basher.

It is a good deal David, but he does not like Badlands tires! I am sure for a grand you could get him another set of tires!!!

No problems at all If it's just for the badlands that a guys don't want to take this deal, i can put it the stock Savage XSS dirtbonz tires and wheel without any problems.

Serum, try the GPM knuckles and c-hubs. They are made from 7075-T6 and are tougher than anything else I have tried.

I've heard on buggies they aren't the best and they aren't really a racing tire but for bashing they seem pretty good to me. Possible a bit too grippy on grass but that's mainly bad driving.


Savage: FLM Conversion, 6s, MMM, CC 1520.
Mini-T Pro: Micro Pro 6800kv, Lipo, HS-81mg, Dirt Hawgs
M18MT: Quark 33A, Y22S 6000kv, FP 2s Lipo
LRP S8-BX: RC-M Conversion, Tekin RX8 B1600KV, 6S.
