Thanks. Been dragging my feet on ordering parts but finally ordered them tonight. My problem is that I keep scouring E*bay for parts to repair all the junkers I already have and end up buying what amount to parts cars and then can't make myself use them for parts and instead have to start the search...

A new in package Ultima Litesink recently went for $66 on E*bay. More than I was willing to pay but I did notice it had the original price tag on it and at 27.95 originally it really only sold for about twice the price from BITD.

Thanks. I am going to give it a try. If it doesn't work looks like there are some original ones available on Ebay. Now just need to determine if OTW-12's are suitable for steering tie rods on a Turbo Ultima so I can place my parts order.

Can anyone tell me if the front bulkhead from a ReRe Ultima will work on a vintage Turbo Ultima? I just acquired the Turbo knowing it would need some parts thrown at it, the bulkhead being one of those parts. I thought I had a spare but after digging it out, the spare is broken in the exact same spo...

Coelacanth, you might check with a local car audio shop or Best Buy. I used to cut off hundreds of bullet connectors with those clear plastic do hickeys over them everyday. Most of the places I worked at we hard soldered the head unit harness to the oem mating harness so no need for the bullets that...

Very Nice.

Yea, the A&L gave up its front end, the Outlaw gave up its rear end. I thought I still had the original rear shock tower but we can't find it. When it was converted to A&L, BITD, I put all the original parts in a tackle type box but, think it was lost when we had a house fire 15 years ago. I...

Ok, a couple of progress pictures, sorry for the blurry pics, first one is a shot of my Ultima purchased in 88 that my son has talked me into rebuilding. He wants to make it all Kyosho so I picked up a modern take out speed control from a Kyosho stadium truck off Ebay, will either use one of the Kyo...

Picked one of these up for use for use in a backyard basher. It was a take off out of a new Kyosho SC truck. I think it comes in several of the current Kyosho RTR's but I cannot find set up instructions for it in any of the manuals I have looked through. Is it covered in any of the manuals or do the...

Ok, thanks for the help identifying it, that is exactly what it is, I remember looking at those in the Tower catalog back in the day. Figures I would end up with another truck when I am trying to gather parts to turn my Sidewinder into a Scorpion or at least a Scorpion look alike and my son talked m...

Ok, here is a pic of it, got it in parts now, doing some cleaning up.

So I was searching ebay for a decent price on a transmission to get my Ultima back into running condition and I came across a buy it now auction for what was listed as a Turbo Ultima/Outlaw chassis for parts. What I think I actually ended up with is a Ultima II. The chassis is marked Kelron and it h...

Ok, got a couple of questions, I have a Kyosho Sidewinder that is missing enough of the Sidewinder specific parts that I am thinking about rebuilding it as a Scorpion. I think I have figured out most of the parts that I need to acquire to accomplish this but have a couple of questions. I need to pur...
