I like the 2.2 from JC Racing: https://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/kyosho-optima

Contact this seller on Ebay: pmg828

He is the one making the wing mounts. I have bought some from him. This guy is Minsu Cho from ParguStore.

Hey Buddy,

Just measured a Ultima MK1 vs an XL, and I can confirm the XL is 13 mm longer.

260mm MK1 vs 273mm XL.

Cheers!

Added pictures and a video to the main post!

Awesome resto! congrats!

Hey Guys, I know some of you oval guys might get a kick out of this one! I got the kit about a year ago, it was seating on the shelf in front of me for all that time, debating whether I should build it or not... After some deeeeeeeep :roll: thinking, I figured I might die tomorrow, so why not enjoy ...

Awesome build. Great work on the tranny!

As far as wheels, you could try the 2.2 Turbo Scorpion white wheels, that would look good as well. and they are pretty cheap these days.

I hope you don't mind if I share a picture in my facebook group with full credit to you of course!

Awesome Job!
