UE Lightning
 
They stopped production a while back and someone is offering me one, I'm wondering how good they are in weight and performance in comparison to the G2?

I have a G1 currently but really like the look of the Lightning and it's higher pose.

I'd have thier arm off for it Nick,
It my have a higher C of G but will turn your Maxx into a bully boy truck :028:

squeeforever 05.19.2006 02:31 PM

I would go for a G2.

Snatch up that lightening chassis. GReat bashing chassis. Highly durable. NOt the same COG as the gmaxx chassis though, unless you mount your packs on the underside.

Sneeck 05.19.2006 02:55 PM

Very strong chassis. g2 can't compete strenght wise in a long shot. Best bash chassis out there. Best looking too.

Get it before someone else does...

I never had the lightning. I did have the flm and it is some what simaliar. It is a buy it and don't worry about the chassis no more. It is a strong design.

Can the Lightning take Gorilla straps and is it a direct replacement chassis?

squeeforever 05.20.2006 03:15 PM

Yes, I'm almost positive on both of those.

Nick 05.20.2006 05:32 PM

I'm now a proud owner of a UE Lightning. ;)

what about Mike's alu one's?
they would be the strongest, if you can get them to fit.
I've got a set on the Revo and they are sweeeeeeet :004:

It comes with UE straps. ;)

Going to drop to 16 cells, was running 18 but was too mental... it was like my E-Maxx could teleport. :D

Now it will be able to drive through walls :028:

Nick you do know you need a longer rear driveshaft right?

Longer slider will work, else the ext center cvd's from ue.

Forget slider's on 16 cell's lol. You will need a longer cvd.

Nick 05.21.2006 07:13 AM

Yep, I've got the UE EXT centres coming with it. :D

They 105 mm dog bone in case any one else wants to know to. The same fits the flm chassis.

Nick 05.21.2006 09:37 AM

How much longer is the chassis then?

coolhandcountry 05.21.2006 10:39 AM

I think the chassis is 35 mm longer.

Nick 05.21.2006 11:41 AM

New holes in shell then. :(

Sneeck 05.21.2006 12:07 PM

New shell :D

coolhandcountry 05.21.2006 12:27 PM

WEll if you have the gmaxx extended chassis it is about the same. The gmaxx extension is 30mm longer but the truck is longer for the lower tranny.
