ULTIMA - MY PROJECT

Post by Prince Steve »

This is one of my favorite Vintage rides. The Ultima..
The design just draws you in to take a closer look.
This particular one has the RC10 rear hub upgrade. The shocks ( Made by trinity?? ) The Aluminum rims to match. New cut body and cage.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Since being on this site I have found that I have too many parts and R/C Models. Please help me get rid of them. ;-)

Can I suggest a silver body with black and red stripes, and maybe get the roof anodised in red also?

Silver as in mirror or just a shiny or metalic silver?

Looks great!!! What would set it off would be a hot trick top plate and some smaller rear tiers (the tractor tires just look too big). I'm having the same issue right now with my frog build.

Regards,
