No problem with that paint job. Hell, I can't bring myself to paint anything, so you're better than me. Tubs full of unpainted shells that I don't dare open...
Thanks very much Gents , I used to paint my race cars in a similar design just different colours. To be honest though the only reason I even considered painting this shell is they are cheap ($15) and readily available, there is no way I will be pointing a can at some of my other shells
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
I swear I had found another pic of this chassis in a thread but can't find it now. I recall it having more weave pattern than this one which I recently got. Google tells me it is a Ultima Pro XL made by Duratrax but that other thread which I can't...

Old thread, I do not have any of these anymore. Long since moved on unfortunately.
No worries. Thanks for the reply.
The two chassis Duratrax I know of are the Pro XL version in the OP and a 7 battery slot version made for the earlier Pro. I...
Are there any differences between the stock Kyosho and Duratrax Ultima Pro-XL chassis?

Even worse is the trans in the Ultima ST Sports (base version of the Type-R) was essentially a Nitro Tracker trans in a different case. Kyosho was already producing a better trans they could have used in the Pro-XRT :x
I just picked up a Ultima Pro at the local junk store, in a box with a radio shack monster truck for $20.00. All the Pro is going to need is the upper fiberglass tray and a body. Dave (DW911) has this upper tray for sale and I was wondering if any...

the pro's flat brown anodised alu chassis has the same wheelbase as a stadard or turbo ultima. But apparently that chassis was not the noe included with the pro for thUS market? Still I think the wheelbase is only different for the kelron and...
Well it's going to be an Ultima anyway. I picked up an outrage for CHEAP the other day. I also have gotten a hold of a Ultima Pro chassis. (I know that the XL chassis is generally more desirable, but I like a twitchy car!!) Got a few Questions...

I'd love to see a pic of the bottom of that motor guard, and how it mounts to the chassis there. I wonder if it would work for an Optima?
Erik - I still don't have a gear cover. :( ...I think the stock one will still fit. I'll be sure to let you...
This is my first post on this forum, and I apologize if my english is not 100%
I recently had a look around my old RC cars and found some parts from my first real race car.
This got me the idea to try to build a replica.
Prior to the...

There are some Ultima PRO XL for sale but they are either very expensive or in bad shape.
Found a old Ultima 2 on Ebay that I am going to use as a donor car for the parts that is missing.
I do not know in which direction this build will take, but I...

Fantastic looking car, although I'd find it really difficult to choose between those sets of wheels. Both sets look great. The second set look like Sees if I'm not mistaken?
Maybe change the wheels around each week so both sets get to go on...
This was bought off ebay last year as birthday present to myself to give me a large dose of nostalgia. I raced one as a kid back in 91-94 when everybody else had Schumacher cougars and rc10s.
I had to...

Hey mate
What bits did you use to do the shorty conversion mate? It looks great. I just picked up a pro with the same alloy chassis but was puzzled as to what holder I could mount but it looked difficult with all those slots for the saddle pack...
I just bought this Ultima Pro last week. It's a bit rough around the edges as you'd expect from a car this age but I think it'll clean up well. The main reason for buying it was the fact that I've never had one before, I was always into the 4WD...
