UE Lightning - 05.19.2006, 01:45 PM

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.

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...

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

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.
