I believe that this HUGE increase was just not thought about enough.... Its a shame - I think that with that big jump in cost for the g2r - its right in the ballpark with the UE supermaxx - thats just my opinion... Maybe nobody will notice the increase.... Wonder where i could get those super $15.00 screwed, i mean screws :p


Hows that "Hope and Change" working out for Ya???

Which version is better for bashing then, the CF version, or the aluminum one?

IMO, neither if it's a Maxx. I won't mention the brand in this forum since this a GMaxx area, but another brand Mike carries is much more suited to bashing and much more affordable and comes with a better warranty too.

I personally like the old site better, but the new parts are awesome. Really makes me want to build a new e-maxx or revo, once the chassis for it comes out. Although, the prices did surprise me a little.

So would you know if that is the final price then for the G3 chassis?

I really don't like how they made it all ONE!? I already have the center CV's, and skids, that's $100 there that is wasted for... well, i suppose those skids won't last too long, so that's not so bad. But, the CV's, why? Seriously, make that X-Brace BEEFIER!!! :032:

Don't know if you missed the price on their site? that gives a pretty good idea of what the price is like..

Remember; the new chassis includes
-skids (and me and squee have got a whole other idea of integral, i wasn't aware integral meant 'in the package')
-extension
-dogbones/cups

CV's.. why not? it seems to be a logical upgrade to the 3.3 shafts. I personally don't like tupperware in the center..

The price of the motorplate is pathetic though...

I agree Serum. But even though the kti includes skids, etc. I personally would not use aluminum skids. I think that there should be a seperate package deal to accoomodate for those who have no need for all that is offered. Then again, you sell it off, but that can be a hastle as well at times.

Integral skids.... I had the same thought. Anyway, once they start selling spares on the Gmaxx site it will be possible for people to upgrade just the X-braces & bottom plate, so that solves that problem. But the motor mount- is it just me or does this mean they no-longer sell the X-brace motor mount? Dont see it anywhere on the new site. If people want they can Paypal me $20 and their stock motor mount and I'll mod it to be like mine.....

Yeah, the new motor mount on the site looks like a modded stocker, and I don't think the X-Braces have been upgraded from what the pics look like!
