Actually I saw this beautifully built Ultima A&L conversion in a Japanese webpage long time ago............really wanted to build one up myself...........but did not know where to get it at that time......

lucky enough to get one "hybrid version" of RC10 from a LHS ..........which contains an A&L Lethal Weapon gearbox (with slipper)........ together with a set of Ultima A&L graphite conversion kit bought recently.........

my dream do come true now........

Project Ultima A&L conversion is ready to start........stay tuned..........

in order to make this car "more delicious"........I am going to put the best "ingredients" into this car (of course tried to be period correct)........including a pure-tech battery strap..........and a set of HPI Star wheels........

for the electronics.........I am going to throw in a Trinity motor.........KO Propo PS-87Z fet servo........Novak Esc (still struggling between HPC & Novak 1 )..........most likely will be using a set of KO Propo EX1 controller.........

Nice, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Definitely the 410-HPC Looks like it'll be a great build!

I see........then the Novak 1 Esc will be reserved for the YZ-834b........

how about the servo ??........is the Ko Propo PS-1001 fet servo more period matched for this car ??........

thanks !!

for the body shell.........I think the Japanese owner in the 1st picture is using the Tomahawk shell..............so I just purchased one from Kamtec.......... hope to get it soon.........

I think so Tomahawk body sounds like another good idea

It is a tomahawk body indeed. Tanaka-san made his own mould and repros a long time ago. Somewhere in that huge site are the pictures of the process he used.

Looking good Mini! Glad you are finding all the needed parts, looking forward to seeing the finished project.

many thanks Daryl.........without your help........I don't think this project can get a start.........

having searched in my store room today .........found some useful parts for this project...........

including the Ultima XL front arms ............A&L front shock tower & steering bell-crank...........front, rear bulkheads & arm support.........

i recently just saw an A&L car go for over 430$ on ebay.yours looks like its gonna be awesome.

This project sounds very promising!
May I ask you some hires pics for my blog?
