G2r?

[E-Revonut]

I think my chassis is a G2R but not sure. Is there a G1R? It may be hard to see but I included a pic from when I first started putting it together. Not the cleanest setup at this point, a lot has changed since this pic but I don't have any oter pics of the cassis

No pic must be a g0r.

Still do not see it, put it in a seperate post from the first.

[E-Revonut]

ok, 4 some reason the manage attachments thing isn't working for me at the moment!

[E-Revonut]

for now there is a pic on another post of mine, HV 4.5 gearing under gorillamaxx forum

[E-Revonut]

file size was small enough but the width and hight of the pic where to big

Looks a lot like a G2R I was bidding on ebay until some *** sniped me with 3secs to go! :)

G2R was the first revo chassis from GMaxx. They called it G2R cuz they were on their G2 chassis for the Maxx and this was an adaptation of the G2 chassis for the Revo. Hence G2R.

The original Gmaxx chassis for the Maxx wasnt called the G1 either. It was just the gorilla maxx chassis.

True, and it was rather ugly looking in all honesty- checkout the early days of MaxxBling:

I originally started this thread to find out for sure what I had but the title is rather vague and rather than starting another tread I'm going to add to this one.

I have been running my 9.5Lb G2R with a Novak HV-Maxx 4.5 setup. I'm running pretty close to the gearing they recomend for a 10+ lb E-maxx. Friday night a cop offered to Radar it and I hit 38MPH, very happy with this speed.

Saturday I was running it to show some friends at work and when I brought it back to turn it off as I was reaching down I thought I seen a small spark or arc near the top of the heatsink on the esc. Then the truck did nothing! Friday night when I checked the temps the esc was about 165 and the motor about 120. Today I went to my lhs to see what info they had to offer me. We tried one of the stutter stoppers with no luck, reprogrammed the esc to the transmitter, checked the batteries, the sensor plug, and made sure all connections where good. All we found was that with the wheels off the ground if you ease into the throttle it works, but if you try full throttle there is nothing and if I put it on the ground there I can get it to move a few feet but thats all. Any idea whats wrong?

Currently I'm waiting to hear back from Novak but if they won't help me I need an alternative motor and esc without dropping an a$$load of $! I'm very happy with 40MPH and I have (2) 6000Mah 2S Lipos on the way. What motor, esc should I be looking for? Is the Mamba Max really capable of 4S Lipo with a UBEC? The 4.5 is a 4400Kv motor and I have felt that turns to fast, so what should I be looking for to hit 40MPH?

[lincpimp]

MM with a ubec will handle 4s lipo. Get a feigao 8xl, and gear for 40mph. Will work better and with more power/torque than the novak.

Thanks lincpimp! Hoping Novak will take care of me and get me a new esc or fix whatever the problem is. Then I will most likely sell it and get the mamba max/feigao. Unless the MMM is out by then! I have said it b4 and will say it again, I wish I had found this forum before I built my truck! Everyone on here has offered so much info and I have done what I can to help others. I've only been into electric and BL since December, tired of nitro headaches! I will admit though when nitro is running they do offer a lot of fun.

[lincpimp]

No prob, just wait till you get a more powerful setup. The novak is ok, but even a mm/xl can outdo it.

[E-Revonut]

what is the kv rating of an 8xl?
