Another night, Another Completed Project - A&L Ultima

Post by **mrlexan** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 10:29 pm

I know, I know, another non-RC10. Look at this way, I wanted to use the A&L Ultima as practice for the A&L RC10 build. Besides, cut me some slack, I am on a roll here. This is a new built A&L Kyosho Ultima conversion complete with the A&L tranny. The only thing Kyosho are the rear bulkhead, front bulkhead, the arms, uprights, axles.

Thanks scr8p.... I have to justify to my wife that I am doing something in the basement, if I don't she is gonna think I have a girlfriend hidden down there.

Sweet　Lord, mouth-watering candy in the shop!
I'm trying to get　ｍｙ　Ｕｌｔｉｍａ：　Ｐｒｏｊ.04 up: another home-built conversion, 4x4 this time. It's proving pretty hard and I could sure use some of the stuff you have on display!
I hope we get to see　some more ultimas and maybe some optimas too before you start on the rc10s

This site should give you plenty choice for bodies

Hope to see wheels and body soon!

I think that just about does it with my Ultima conversions. The only Ultimas that I have left are some rebuilds of a some stock cars.... I think there are three sitting down there (along with that nice little 21 year old hottie with the 38Ds). I have a few Optimas and Mids, but I don't want to go there just yet. There is a started Losi JR Pro that I will probably finish off first..... it is closest to the bench at the moment, so it wins by default.

An 4x4 Ultima, that ought to be interesting. I would like to see that.

I am going to be putting in a HUGE order with Vans for Asso_man, and will likely get a couple for myself. Wheels and tires are a different story. Not sure how to go about finding those.

Thanks for the complements.

Thanks Jim (and the rest of you)

Just started the completion of the Losi JR Pro..... I might be missing some parts so I am not sure how much further I can go and the wife is dragging me out for dinner..... More later.

Let us know what you're missing.
I have a few used losi jrx parts hanging around and might want to trade with some used kyosho parts if they fit your pro...
check out my ultima proj 01 and 02 in this forum, maybe you'll feel like giving the remaining chasis some more attention after all

proj 03 should be online some time next week also.
Do you need NIB or just new or anything for the wheels and tires.
I have the drastic wheels back and front with fitted astute front tires, all never used.

Just curious: did you make some inside pictures of that A&L gearbox?
Never seen any review or pics before

I found one on the net about 8 years ago, but the guy wanted way too much for it.

No, I am not good at taking pics during my builds... no discipline. I have the instructions, but my scanner is currently down.

Email me pics of what you found... Thank you sir!
