I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this chassis is the same length as the extended 4907 chassis? There isn't a whole to lot of info on this chassis that I can find other than it was made for the 2.5R but works with the 3.3 but nothing says what the length is.

I'm getting a list together of things I will need for the Picco .26 JL RD upgrade to my T-Maxx and I want to stay as close to the stock extended chassis length as possible so I don't have to fight the front CVD setup for my UE 1/8th diffs on any of the conversion chassis'.

Thanks
 
If you have a 4907 the last thing I'd be upgrading is the chassis. Them things are thick and 70 bucks is a nice set of shocks or something.

If it's made for the 2.5r then it is short, and it looks short too. It's also upside down in the pic.

Thanks for the reply, I don't mind keeping the stock chassis although I do like the way the "upgraded" one looks. I love the look of the FLM chassis but as I said with the UE diffs apparently finding a front CVD that works is a pain in the ass. k5floyd seems to have figured it out with his maxx but he seems to be tied up right now so I don't want to bother him with it. Speaking of the FLM chassis that brings me to another topic. I read today that the FLM chassis was designed with the old 2.5R chassis. Which means its actually the same length as the extended chassis except its extended in the rear and not the front. I'm not sure how up to date that was cause it was from a few years ago, so they could of refabed there design to match the extended t-maxx chassis. So that to me would make me think that these would fit the FML chassis for the 1/8th diffs seeing as the UE website says that the MIP CVD/CV's will fit there diff cups. Anyone have any input on that?

That was the "lite weight racing" chassis for the old short 4910 2.5's, keep the 4907 chassis.
 
Ok so it is the short chassis, thanks for the input on that...

Does anyone have any experience running a better chassis that is the same length as the 4907 chassis? I'm pretty sure RD Logics makes one but I'm not sure how good there chassis' are and just about anything else that was made and was worth a poop seems to be obsolete and your forced to find them used.

I stumbled upon a new UE Thunder Chassis on ebay the other day but it just ended. Winner paid like $170 for it...Lucky bastard
 
I would stay away from the RD Logics chassis, a UE or FLM or an older Hard Core chassis would be the way to go.
 
Ok, Ill stay away from RD Logics, UE and FLM are great and all but I want something that keeps the stock length of the extended 3.3 chassis but is just beefy and cool looking! lol
 
overrride, if it helps i can take measurments of my flm chassis
 
k5floyd - Isnt the FLM chassis the one u used with the 1/8th diffs? I'm gonna be putting UE 1/8th diffs on my truck and a picco .26. Just want to avoid the front CVD issue you ran into. I'd rather tackle it later down the road. Unless I can miraculously find a UE chassis....
 
i was wondering about the flm chassis length so i email them a few days back. i asked if it was longer then the 4907 chassis and Jamie from flm replied saying It is actually a couple mm shorter. those are exact words.
hope this helps.
p.s. does anyone know the dogbone length for the rear of the flm chassis, and if the front of it uses the stock **traxxas plastic shaft**?

Override, you are correct, I used the flm chassis with my 1/8 scale diffs.

Stroytika, I'm guessing if the flm chassis is a couple mm shorter than the 4907 chassis it's got to be shorter in the front. The rear dogbone that came with my flm chassis is 11cm long. And I'm not sure what you are asking in yer other question.
 
Stroytika, if you are asking in yer second question if the flm chassis uses the stock length front dog bone I'm not too sure. It would depend on whether the front or rear of the flm chassis is shorter than the 4907 chassis and what diffs/drive cups you're using. You might want to check out my thread "for those of you using 1/8th scale diffs", it might shed some light on the subject. I have the flm chassis and flm hybrid bulks with 1/8th scale diffs and my thread shows the front driveshaft issue I had and how I fixed it.
 
thanks i read the thread and there is some great info in there. that 110mm measurement is a godsend and that pipe trick is very clever!
