that's his design...


if any one can recognize the person who created with awesome beast, please let me know i would like to speak to him...

Looks pretty much like a Gmaxx ripoff to me. Only difference is the center diff holder and some minor changes that really are just cosmetic. All the plates are the same configuration, just slighty different details in them. If the reason you are looking for this is to get the center dif, send Mike an email. He can make a center diff style motor mount like that for the G3R chassis. Its originally designed by Dafni, but Mike makes them by request I believe. If you go that route then you can at least get replacement parts if you need them.

Heres a picture of G2R with the center dif mount that I got from Dafni a while back now.

Thanks, It really is a great setup. I can run lap times with that revo that would put me in the truggy a-main. I actually dont really race it much becasue it just isnt fair kicking butt that bad. It looks a bit different now, that was right after I installed that center diff mount going on a couple years ago. Its got quite a few more miles on it now. lol. But it still kicks butt on the track.

Just put Slaydens setup on it, with the traxxas wing mount and sway bars and you are ready to rock. I reccomend going to the RC-Monster 1/8 f/r diff setup for it also. The stock revo diffs are pretty tall gearing for MT size tires and a 44T direct drive center diff gear. The RCM 1/8 diff setup for it drops the gearing down into the perfect range for running the direct drive center diff. With the 1/8 diff setup I found 7/30/5 dif fluids to be very good on most tracks.

I hate to sound like I'm boasting, but I really do love that truck.
