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

I know i may get crushed running a ultima against rc10's, but im gonna give it a shot i think lol..

Picked up some Parts at a LHS to get started... and had some other parts also to rebuild and clean up..

Working on cleaning up a stainless steel chassis right now, its the ultima with the roll cage. Have a aluminum one too but seems very week.

picked this up for parts too, i need another litesink for the ultimas

picked up a ball diff on ebay for $42 before too for the ultima

just raced against an ultima during our vintage meet, he was a great driver with better electronics onboard but still beat him with my jrx-pro yours looks like a serious set-up cant wait to see her mike..

well look forward to racing it... if it doesnt stand up.. i have a built rc10 worlds ready for the race also

anyone know of any shock clamps that will fit those shocks? would kill for some alloy ones...

if I were you I would use the gold option house ones, they work WAY better than these, the shaft is particularly fragile and prone to bending, just tossing my 2 cents

have a link or pics.. i know jack about kyosho lol

From my collection thread

I have always loved that one David. I have a couple that I am using that pic as a reference to restore/build.

you mean that pic in particular or the whole thread? Anyway thanks, I take it as a compliment

Both.

i have a set of those rears already.. now gotta find some fronts lol..

love those HG shocks and clamps also.. i have a link to a store that sells the losi some HG losi stuff still in stock if your interested in it.. i ordered all the associated stuff they had left.. didnt pickup the losi stuff..
3x Spring Retainers left for $8.95
2x 10-32 knockoffs left at 7.95 each
2x Spring Clamps for losi at $8.95 each

i have an extra set of the red shocks that have the alloy clamps you desire.
i need some alloy bellcranks for an ultima or rc10 if you wanna trade.

You could use the suspension arms from an Ultima Pro XL. They are longer than the standard Ultimas. They are tougher to find, though. I would also use gold shocks...or equalizers. Equalizers are period correct and I think they are better than the golds. If you want, you can also add the Turbo Optima slipper gear. That may be worth it to protect the drivetrain.
