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.
For $1000.00, i can send you my brand new e-revo with Neu 1515,1Y, MGM 16018 and flightpower EVO25, 5000mAh, 4s. Brand new badlands on ofna half offset wheel, tekno RC sway bar and wing kit, RD logic aluminium diffs and brand new unpaint porline F350 body.
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.
