Kyosho Turbo Ultima vs. Pro XL body

Will a Turbo Ultima body that has been cut and finished fit on a Kyosho Ultima Pro XL? I know the XL chassis is longer, so it seems like it would not. Thanks for the help Ultima experts!

The body for the Turbo Ultima and Pro XL are indentical. The only difference is where you drill/cut the mounting holes.

Does anybody have one, or know where I can find a replacement body for a Turbo Ultima?

Any suggestions on alternative options if I can't find one?

I was wondering if the Optima bodies would be a close enough fit, as Kamtec has a good variety.

Last post

yup it is one and the same: even if the wheelbase is a bit different the body is 1-size-fits-all

Hi All,

I recently restored my Turbo Ultima II. I took it to my local hobby store and he suggested upgrading to an ESC, a new control, and new tires (I was able to find some 4x10x4mm bearings to make the front wheels fit the stock axel). I don't...

The caps are meant to reduce motor noise. Back in the days of 72 and 75 mHz radios, excessive motor noise would cause radio interference. Not sure that it's such a big problem with today's 2.4 ghz systems.
Not familiar with that motor but I believe...

I got this car when I was about 7 years old. I took good care of it, but it was run...a lot. So it's pretty scratched up and worn, but not really broken. I need a new UM-1 gear is about all I think, but I'm going to replace all of the electronics...

To use a newer brushless setup, by the parts for the New Ultima transmission, it includes a slipper. If you try a brushless with th ball dif it will fry it, or just strip out the plastic gears.

I'm finishing up my Turbo Ultima restore, everything is in great condition with the exception of the wheels, they have a few blemishes and I'm wondering what to use to repaint/refinish them. I sprayed a set of rims with Krylon aluminum finish paint,...

Last post

The wheels are for the shelf. I have another set of tires and rims for the rare occasion that I run the car. I may try their chrome paint as another option.

So my turbo ultima didn't sell on ebay. That being the case I've decided to redo the old girl into something more interesting. I've uploaded a few photos to illustrate the idea I have in mind. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on a mid motor...

Last post

Nice work! I'm interested to hear how it handles. You've turned a Turbo Ultima into a Mid RWD, while I turned a Turbo Optima Mid SE into a Mid RWD...different paths with the same destination. :mrgreen:

I’ve searched high and low. I’ve seen one post for rims that are pricey but they don’t look right. I’m down to pay but at least they need to look the part…Prefer to buy the rims and wheels together if that is even an option. Any ideas?

I am constantly amazed at the creativity and resourcefulness you folks show in the acquisition of parts. :D

My lazy a$$ would just wait for the inevitable re-release. :lol:

Those are my thoughts as well. Especially with guys finding parts that...
