Damn she's hot!
What color scheme are you going to do?

You gotta do something about that body Darrell, either hack the back end off or get an RC10 body to hack up. It kind of looks like a cancerous grasshopper with a huge tumor on it's back right now The build itself is really awesome though, I love the trailing arm stuff!

I hear you adam . It needs to sit a good 3/4 inch lower in the rear. I already hacked one rc10 body to fit a pro xl I have. didnt much like how it turned out.its a weird mount as its so high. then the side skirts of the body need to be really long in order for it to work properly. ah well its a shell none the less and as for paint , I rarely paint my rides as i cant paint for crap. most of my cars have clear decaled body's with the exception of one JG mid body I painted .turned out OK but it was just one color i was painting with.
Maybe i should just drill two holes into the rear shock tower and lower the body mount? then the shell will sit below the chassis 1/4 inch, but its just a shelfer.

Why not use the MRL-010 Parma Eagle Body from Mrlexan that looks like it would fit pretty nicely? By the way the ultima is Looking very nice

It does kinda look like a bug, but I like it. The problem is the giant A&L shock tower. The rear body mount should be lower on the front of the tower. For my RC10, I had to create a custom mount to get it to look right.

ok . so I drilled two holes 1/4 inch lower into the rear tower and loosened the rear body mount hole. also cut the wing wire a little bit more. I find it sits at least 1/2 inch lower now. not to too bad lol

so now its like a grasshopper that quit steroids recently LMAO!!

Really nice build Darrell. Any updates on this one mate?

I'm a big fan of the A&L gear and would like to do an Ultima aswell. Loving those T&A rims. It sure makes me regret selling on my RC10 A&L car. I had blue T&A rims on mine.

I'm sure this looks awesome but I cannot see the pictures. The preview snaps are tiny. If I click on the pics all I see is a deodorant advert. ImageShack sucks! Try flickr

Thread is old , Darrel is racing modern stuff now , we don't hear much from him much anymore .

By the way Jason , Darrel is a T&A whore

Lol! I can understand why. They are very nice rims, especially the coloured versions.
