RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I came across this local chain driven gearbox , that i thought was for the rc10 when i purchased it, but when i took it home to fit to a chassis , the bolts holes didn't line up. I quickly realized its for a ultima based buggy, lucky i came across this graphite chassis w/ ball bearing steering then hooked up some long fiberglass shock towers and period type shocks, rear sway bar washed and rebuilt the buggy and so far, all i need is wheels and a body if anybody knows has a body that they are willing to part with that would be great. Here's some pictures..

cool, that tranny is a Ranch Pit shop chain drive tranny. you ultima is going to turn out cool

You should get one of Daryl's Ultima trailing arm conversions. That would be sweet. You already have the right chassis.

how do i get a hold of daryl for these trailing arms?

(damn i have to much old stuff that i can dig in to)

Just saw this post. I am currently thinking about building an vintage Ultima to race here in California. I saw your tranny querry, and I believe it is actually a Team Pit Stop tranny. They were from Florida if memory serves. I was sponsored by them in the early 90'S and it looks familiar . Anyways, nice rig, good luck-Jeff

This is actually a old thread that was some how brought back. I have changed out the shocks since then and put this body on it. Updated with this pictures.

Still looks un-run, you're not planning to take it to the track?

Your paintscheme is pretty cool!
Will you do a wing with the same colours?

Lovely.
ultima works best with andys racing front arm´s and original short in the back.
When i used to run the ultima i had the pro2/xl chassi and the batteries in saddle but turned 90 degrees.
We had a lot of ultimas in the club and we all ran the batteris saddle but turned 90 degrees.
I saw it in a mag and tested it and it worked very well.

good luck racing.
