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.

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. ;)

they would be the strongest, if you can get them to fit.

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.
