What are your plans with the cad models? Are you planning on getting those parts reproduced?
Thanks for the pictures of the prototype car. I wonder how the rear arms were different from the ones that made it into production, and why they changed the design. I had seen a vague picture of those rear arms before and their style is much more in line with the design of the front arms

They ship internationally as well.
That can’t be cheap! If you order 50 pieces I recon it’s affordable, but if you only order one (ore 2) piece of each part it will cost!
Do you have any experience of eMachineShop, regarding prices, quality etc.?
Edit:
I did some browsing on their web page, and I think one bulkhead will cost you around 200$
It's been mentioned in a couple older threads: several parts of the duratrax ST-15 are direct replacements for the ultima. There's front bulkheads, purple anodised shocktowers, suspension arms, axle carriers, steeringknuckles, bumper ...
Even the purple anodised chassis could be made to work (and has the same outer shape as a pro)

This was an awesome post to find! I just resurected an Ultima II that was given to me. I'm deciding if I'll convert it to brushless. Right now its got a trinity monster motor, a hobbywing 1060 esc, running futaba radio and servo. I'll snap some pics...

So I was at the track, and some guy saw I was racing my early 90;'s B stamp RC10T buggy conversion. He asked if I would be interested in an old Ultima. I said maybe, so he went and grabbed it from his trunk. He returned with this:

Great looking buggy! I recently built my first Ultima also and I really enjoyed working with a car that was designed so different from the other buggies I had built. I'm with you on the stock wheels---I never liked them either. I like the wheels you...

I think that the forwarded hinge pin locations creates higher forces to hinge pin and to suspension arm hole around hinge pin and because of this the suspension got stuck when it moves and it does not work as freely as normal A-arm suspension would...
