nice history to the Scorpion, that will be a nice buildup

LW = Lethal Weapon

LosiXXXMan - I didn't think it would be an easy fix. What does LW stand for? So, Triumph and Pro-X are drop-in, but both have some issues. I like the stock Ultima one better than the later ball diff. Thanks for the help.

When JayDub says throw a stealth in it and be done - will a RC10 stealth fit into an Ultima or am I misunderstanding?

It's $499 now, is that the final price?

What's a good modern replacement for the gear cover seal on an Optima/Ultima? (I tried cutting foam tape and it didn't work well) What's a good modern replacement for the battery strapslon an Optima/Ultima? (Rubber bands work, but I want something better looking and more like the original straps) Th...

I got a pair of used Andy's A Arms for the front of my Turbo Ultima. Right now I have the stabilizer set on the front, I assume this needs to come off if I go with the Andy's arms. What about the adjustable tie rods? They will be short, correct? What kind would work? Thanks for the help.
