"WOIN" Kyosho Ultima

[orangemazda]

Has anyone built a "What's old is new" Ultima?

I have some nifty ideas but if a path has already been forged, why not "stand on the shoulders of giants!"

How "WOIN" are we talking?

[orangemazda]

Kline arms, front and rear hex wheels, perhaps rb6 shocks...

Not completely sure yet, still in the dreaming stage of the build.

[DennisM]

Sounds interesting - How about the transmission?
I´d suggest either Triumph or Lethal Weapon with slipper.
The Lethal Weapon would bolt right on, and iirc the Triumph´s going to need some modification due to the rear bulkhead.
I bet You can sweet talk Jeff "GoMachV" into giving You a good price.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the one RichieRich built:

Lethal Weapon requires two holes to be drilled, but reuses two holes as well.

Jason is holding out, he has a pretty wicked updated Ultima that he keeps locked up in the basement so nobody will see it.

Of course it requires drilling - would have been strange if I were right about something
But it fits the original bulkhead, right?

[GoMachV]

Well.....no.....it comes with a brace and you have to drill the bulkhead to fit it.

The pattern on the bottom of the Lethal Weapon is half 6 gear and half Ultima with an additional pair of smaller holes.

Well, let´s talk about gravel then - I know a lot about gravel!

I have done many. Click on the links in my gallery to see the threads.
They are getting a bit dated again but the new woin is just renderings for now: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=41535&start=15

I prefer to keep it original. (if woin means building something old with newer parts)
