can i purchase G3 CF without extension? - 11.13.2007, 01:01 AM

hi guys,

just wondering if any of you know whether i can purchase the G3 cf chassis without the extended rear top plate thing from mike, or is the extended part the only thing i can get in the chassis kit? i would rather run a monoblock, thats why im asking

thanks in advance
jordan

The chassis kit is extended - no other way to get it. I think you emailed me the same question - I MAY be able to dig up a regular length Gorilla rear upper plate for you. The Gorilla Extension and monoblock aren't exactly the same length, but close enough to be compatible. :)

they work like a charm on a slipperential though. They UE extension is 1 or 2 mm longer than the ext. gmaxx.

hey guys, thanks for the replys

that would be great if you could try and dig up a non extended cf rear top plate mike, reason is i just got a VBS rear skid and it would be a shame not to use it

as the UE and the Gmaxx extensions are only 'similar' would i be able to use the extended dogbones that come with the GMaxx kit with the UE extension?

thanks guys

If the UE kit is a couple mm longer, then I would say the normal extended rear dogbones will be fine- might just need a tiny spring/o-ring in the output cups to take up any slack. You say VBS skid, does that mean you have VBS bulks too?...

Man, Im suprized anyone would give away nearly a whole Gmaxx chassis- that is a great gesture. Thought- couldnt you use the rear upper plate (non extended one that bluonyx has) as a template, and make your own out of CF sheet? Might not be as perfect as an original part, but would suit the purpose....

Jordan and nl12 I just found this on Ebay since both of you wanted a CF rear plate. Just happen to find your treasure, is there a finders fee? JK, LOL
