real power happens over 2000 watts. Around 2500watts you get some real action.

The reason for no packs on both sides...well its lipo only. Only need one pack, so thats about it. This chassis has a lower CG than the G2R. Dont take this as me trying to sell you one over anything else out there. It makes no difference if you buy one or make your own. I will be the first person to send you to the gorrillas if I dont have what ya want, Mike will hook you up with one. We dont take the easy way out and buy something off the shelf, because we can do it ourself...In our core group off guys workin on this project, we have the absolute elite builders in the industry. Is it perfect? No. None are. If someone can drive my truck and tell me its not balanced, they can have it, period. It doesnt use an e-maxx tranny because honestly we hate them. We have broke every rotating part in them, including the 6mm output shaft. It doesnt have the slipperential, but we dont need or want slipper(not knocking Mikes idea, it looks cool).

The oil weights are all measured by a standard. You will get variances with air bubbles, but 10k is 10K. And yes, 300K sounds high because it is. Turn it upside down and come back the next day and it wont spill out...that kinda thickness. Anything less unloads the front end violently.

I can see why the emaxx trannies don't hold up.
I've always used nitro trannies and haven't had a problem (tmaxx, revo)
I'm not running 2000 watts though, 1200 at the most

How are the front and rear diffs holding up tp that kind of power?
