Edit: It just seems that chassis design is pretty simple to recreate... It doesnt look any different than say a FLM Chassis in regards to R&D same basic design, Of course extended... |
The reason that the FLM 3906 chassis looks so much like the UE Lightning chassis is because it was a shadow copy of that design. If you hold the two side by side you can see that there is an obvious difference in quality. Not that the FLM is a bad chassis, as I have both. For the money the FLM chassis is well worth the $100, but in comparison the UE Lightning chassis is a work of art. The time and effort that went into the Lightning is pretty easy to see when you compare the two up close. Plus it is coated to reduce the chances of conducting electricity. UE products are not for everyone for sure, but if you appreciate the finer engineering that goes into certain things regarding our hobby it is truly the best of R/C. Kind of like the difference between the Chevy Corevette and the Lamborguini Cuntach. Plus most of the UE products were created in limited quanities, compared to FLM turning out a much larger volume. to appease the masses.
By the way Chad congrats on acquiring your new Lightning chassis. How much did it hurt?? $$$.
