Any new about the shaft lenght?? I already ordered a monoblock for my lightning chassis....

With the gmaxx i know the answer with the lighting i really can't help you. I think you can better ask robin on unlimited engineering.

He has no idea, Robin is being really useless at helping me. :(

Only thing i know is that the gmaxx extension extends the truck 30mm and the UE monoblock 31.75 mm.

i have got no idea about the length of the lightning.

I asked about the shafts to UE and Sam answered:

I'm not sure. RC Alloys might still make custom bones but I not sure. I think Robin was looking into it for the Thunder and Lightning chassis. I tested a shaft the other day. I don't think it's quite 130mm though.

What length of shaft does the normal lightning use? isn't it 100.5 mm? and is that the size from pin/pin or end/end..? just add 31.75 mm to it, and you should be fine.

105 on the lightning rene. So 136.75 I figured a 135. Cause the shaft will be on less angle.

I've got told loads of different measurements. I'm going to get a Monoblock orderd and measure it myself.

Serum · 12.23.2006, 07:03 PM

probably the best thing to do.

Mike can get you any size of dogbone you need.

coolhandcountry · 12.23.2006, 11:34 PM

That is the safest option nick. they you know you more likely to have it right.
No guessing involved.

Orderd one from Mike.

Man, I'm so angry at Robin, he doesn't reply to any of my posts/PMs/E-mails about the shaft length (as he wants to sell his own) or about the international credit card getting rejected at his store. Last time I try anything with him. I've done a strong worded post on his forums to see what he comes out with, I just hate unproffesional businesses, probably because I'm English... Anyway, rant over, hope you guys have better luck with him, lol. :)

Mike rules!

Going to fit it when it comes and see what shaft I need, should look luuuurvly.

Just because this forum is dedicated to Oury's flagship company, I wont say any powerful words.

If I see him in person, I'll make sure to make him change the way he treats the international customers.

I heared that he is working on new projects and that is why he is not free enough to serve everyone.

coolhandcountry · 01.01.2007, 09:41 PM

Just cause you are busy with one project don't mean you should ignore
others. That is just plain wrong. Could cost money in the long run.

Nick · 01.01.2007, 10:06 PM

I'm puzzled at how UE is run. He makes REALLY good parts, yet he never meets the demand and cuts out a huge international market.

Just a side job maybe?
