Re: New/Old Ultima PRO XL

Tanks Doug,

Re: New/Old Ultima PRO XL

Some time since last update, but the project is still alive. Bought an uncut carbon chassis from Fibre-Lyte and made my own XL chassis, I think it looks ok for an amateur like me. 20221023_132800.jpg 20221023_132806.jpg More Carbon, Servo mount and battery brace. 20221023_132715.jpg Brace.PNG Replac...

Re: New/Old Ultima PRO XL

A small progress on the project. Found another old part that I used on the Ultima, this is a spacer for the motor to increase the cooling. ULTIMA4407.PNG Could not find any Vintage Gold Shocks for a reasonable price so I went for the new version. Not that happy that the shock oil is added from the o...

Is there an undertay available to protect that chassis plate if you ever decide to run the car?

Re: New/Old Ultima PRO XL

Got my Donor car and started to disassemble it. This car was very strange, visually all parts looked ok but there was so much play in all parts. I did a comparison with my old parts and they all have a much better precision. I only needed the gearbox, but was hoping to be able to use more parts from...
