Dualie Lightning – The Original Brushless Monster
Where SuperMaxx One was the lead development truck for the nitro side of the hobby, the Dualie Lightning blazed the trail for electric power.
Built on the Unlimited Engineering Lightning chassis, this truck became the world’s first dual brushless monster truck and quickly earned a reputation for breaking just about everything it touched.
Back when brushless power systems were still in their infancy, nobody really knew what would survive the kind of power this truck could produce. The answer turned out to be “not much.”
Brushless systems went up in smoke. Driveline parts exploded. Components that were considered bulletproof suddenly weren’t. Every weak link was exposed, usually in spectacular fashion.
And we had a heck of a good time doing it.
BUILD SPECIFICATIONS
- Unlimited Engineering Lightning Chassis – The predecessor to the HVL and the perfect foundation for one of the most outrageous electric monster trucks ever built.
- Unlimited Engineering Victory Bulkless System (VBS) Pro Kit with Titanium Skids – Built to withstand punishment that would destroy conventional bulkhead systems.
- Unlimited Engineering RacerX Suspension Pro Kit – Long-travel suspension designed to keep the truck under control when the power got completely out of hand.
- Unlimited Engineering Generation 4 Servo Saver – Heavy-duty steering protection designed for monster truck abuse.
- Unlimited Engineering 8mm Axle CVDs – Massive driveline components developed to survive power levels few trucks had ever seen.
- Unlimited Engineering 17mm Wheel Hexes – Heavy-duty clamping wheel hexes designed to stay put no matter what happened.
- Dual Brushless Power System – The first dual brushless monster truck setup, developed at a time when the rest of the industry was still trying to figure out brushless power.
- Jumbo Monster Truck Tires – Because if you’re going to build something ridiculous, you might as well go all the way.
THE EARLY DAYS OF BRUSHLESS
Today, massive brushless systems are common. At the time this truck was built, they were anything but.
The Dualie Lightning became a rolling test laboratory. Every run taught us something new. Every broken part pointed to the next improvement. Every smoked speed control or destroyed driveline component pushed development forward.
The truck didn’t just survive the brushless revolution—it helped create it.
PURE FUN
Some trucks are built for racing. Some are built for engineering. Some are built because someone asks, “What happens if we do this?”
The Dualie Lightning was definitely that last one.
Huge power. Huge tires. Wheelies on demand. Parts failures that could be heard from across the field. And an endless amount of fun.
It wasn’t just a truck. It was an experiment that refused to stop pushing the limits.
