This seller has sold two others for a buy it now price of $800. The Lightning chassis is was produced in smaller numbers than the nitro UE thunder chassis. I'm not sure I'd call it rare, but I paid more than that for the one I bought a few months ago. Mine was in flawless shape (was a show truck) and came with Emaxx 2 spd trans, UE TI center dogbones, servos and the rx.

Its nice to see them go for that much since its telling me I didn't overpay for mine. If you want one, gotta be in the right place at the right time and pay the going price.

No doubt that UE makes top quality stuff...but I recommend you at least look at FastLane Machine (FLM) or GorrillaMaxx before you buy. UE is pretty hard to find parts for and unless you are a hardcore collector, I don't see the benefit to owning the chassis. Other brands out there are almost as good and cost a lot less. FLM offers a lifetime warranty on their parts...

There are lots of us that have this chassis, and have paid mostly from $300 to $400 for them. I understand people trying to get more, but that is why our haousing market is so jammed up now, because of the greed some people have. Like Sikes said you can buy an FLM for $90. and honestly it is just as good as far as performance goes. Sure the quality and polished look of the UE chassis is much better, but operationally it is probably equal. I have both and love the way both of them work out. The UE chassis is truly a work of art, but paying $800 is totally up to you dude. I

t would be nice if UE would buck up and produce more of them for the market. It is not as if they would lose money on the deal. I bought a complete chassis, suspension, and had an almost complete UE truck on fleebay a year ago for $750. Right place at the right time, and knowing how to get the last bid helps to. Seeing this crap going on I sure am happy that I got it when I did. Sorry for your struggle man.
