flyweightphantom 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 I was wondering what the difference in length (with or without wheels on) of a small vs medium vanguard chassis would be as i'm looking to put one on a size 8D flexlite 12 and dont want wheels to extend to dar beyond the front or back of the boot.

Fits perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablo42 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 i think the length is the same in every size. Same distance between wheels....... i believe the difference of length is in the distance between the plates of the chassis. Correct me if i'm wrong...........

flyweightphantom 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 For some reason i feel like a medium on my 8D would go way past both the front and back end of my skate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDE3 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 I think some of the chassis lengths change between small to large in approximately 3/8" increments(Labedas Hi/Lo various models)...I know they used to...have not looked at the most recent ones. Although from what I remember, the Hummer chassis did not vary in rail lengths, but only in the foot plate separation and placements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyweightphantom 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 thanks darshu those skates look great btw. When i bought red star chassis in the past there was definitely seemed to be a difference in the length of the chasses between large and medium thats why I asked.
