The chassis is great! I did all the free mods on my mrc but it still had plenty of limitations. It collected dust for 6 months and this chassis has brought it back from the dead. Once I get some better shoes for this rig, I'm sure it will be near perfect. I used to flip over on steep inclines but now I spin the tires. This was by far the best mod I've made to this little guy...now if winter would go away, I can really put it through its paces

I see it, I have my stock ESC and my CC BEC mounted there. I had to take the ESC out of the case to get it to fit.

Better than losi and I believe they are a tad shorter. Duratrax Vendettas are what they are and they are what seems to be the next big craze for the MRC. Everyone that i have read about running them loves them. Cole |

They are by far the best shocks I've had on my rig. I think they are shorter than the losi shocks which limits them just enough. They are silky smooth and haven't leaked a drop of the 35wt oil. Only down side is they are a p.i.t.a. to assemble if you're not used to building shocks this size. | |

Someone handy should come up with a carbon fiber plate that mounts just above the motor inside the G3 chassis to mount the ESC & RX on. I'm all about fit and finish ;) I may try to tackle that problem when I start my build. |
