Found a few more parts. 240ST should be appropriate. No rust, no solder burns on the endbell. Needs a new label on the motor and the terminals cleaned up. Commutator cleaned up nicely and the motor seems to run well. :lol: Hope this makes at least one person on the forum happy, maybe two :lol: Reall...

I got lucky again in finding a donor Turbo Ultima that got me the platinums, universals and motor. Looks like the 1st owner assembled the car drove it till it broke and shelved it. Even the springs are nice. I will be getting the OT268 but also new arms if I can get the ones with the sway bar holes ...

Hey Derek The wife says sell it. I'm a little on the fence. It needs quite a few parts. Towers, deck, wheels, tires, electrics, body, universals, chassis restore (Duralumin :twisted: ) etc. Plus side - suspension parts aren't bad and the trans is done. Those pressure plates are actually from the Tur...

I had this car for quite a while. Last year I stripped it down to the chassis and completely rebuilt from there.

Have you checked out valkyriercmotorsports? They seem to have the 652 bullet connectors.
Or a 4mm bullet connector set.

Pretty happy with the results.

The sandblasting can be a little tricky.

Though I didn't get to Max Yasgur's I did go to the Ozark Music Festival Jul 19, 1974 – Jul 21, 1974.
A smaller event, only 170,000 or so attended, but seemed much larger.
5 days of debauchery, a festival that I will never forget.

Hello Maxline

About 6 months ago I refinished my XX motor mount and the rest of the car as well.

I did some DIY anodizing and it turned out pretty nice.
Here's a link that shows the process-

They sure look like Kyosho Platinums. The platinum shocks came on the Turbo Ultima, Turbo Optima Mid SE and the Turbo Rocky. They were also sold as upgrades under the Kyosho Option House parts. There are at least 2 members, and maybe the only ones :D , that believe "Kyosho platinums are best pe...

Can't really remember when I got this car, been a while. Unfortunately I have non if the pics from when I got it. Not attempting the ultimate Javelin build, just bringing it back to life with lots of elbow grease and some new parts. It was in typical, build the car and never do any maintenance until...
