A Action shot of my Ultima.

Has turbo shock towers and Option House shocks,
Since this photo i have turned into a Turbo with a new chassis and body.

Just looks so cool with the cage

Nice action pictures, but you have to find a better way to attach your transponder!

wow.........great shot !!........

this is the first time I've ever seen the transponder being attached like this.........well done !!........

Thanks guys.

I was racing 5 different classes that day and didn,t have time to play around with the mounting location.

It was fast and easy to do.

I agree it looks stupid but it worked.

i really cant see how you colud fit it under the body otherwise. its tight as it is under there. nice action shots man

Re: Transponder Mount idea.....
Make a lexan template of the aluminum roof panel. Take the roof panel off. Use it as a template to drill the mount holes in the lexan panel. Remount the alum roof with the lexan roof sandwhiched underneath it. Now that little sunroof opening section will have lexan under it. Use a body reamer to punch a transponder hole through the lexan. Mount the transponder inside the driver cage with mount sticking up through the sunroof. Body clip and viola'.....clean reusable mount location that keeps the transponder out of harms way and no holes punched through that nice vintage body.

Oh yeah.... Great action shots of a great looking car!

i like the 10 seconds with a cable tie and that time probably includes removal time to

That looked like a house transponder. Besides a nice clean mount location, and probably more important, I was also thinking about protecting that transponder.

I'd put that transponder under the wing

nice jump shot!

nice shot and nice jump, im not bother with the transponder location , but rather amazed on the car looks in action.

Those look like Triumph front wheels, but what are the rears? Are they Nitro Evader BX? B3?

Thanks.

Front wheels are indeed Trimph ones.

The rear are Ofna CRT.5 Truggy wheels.

They bolted straight up are 2.2's and have a wide off set.

I have modded a set to run the narrow front 4wd tires on my Lazer ZX too.

Very nice Ultima, these still rock!
I just finished restoring a ultima outlaw truck
