description  Hi again,
Its been a while since my last upload, but I had some other things going that needed attention.
My latest passion is the early Kyosho Ultima. I have an original one that I'm restoring to bone stock boxart right now.
And two Ultima based Sideways, one will be a brushless runner.
I came across this very good condition chassis on eBay. Had to buy one of Marwans great repro shells and stickers for it. I soon knew I wanted to go custom with lots of hop ups. Here's a list of all the mods:
- UM-27 Special chassis (much stronger!)
- UM-28 Motor Guard (hard to find, came from Australia!)
- UM-29 Stabilizer Set
- OT-64 Special Wing chromed
- W-0109 Option House Ball Differential
- W-5078 Option House Rear Tyres
- Le Mans 240ST motor
- Tamiya F201 turnbuckles for steering and control arms (great and cheap alternative)
- Yeah Racing shocks with Tamiya springs and TRF pistons
- Wheels dyed black
- Roof polished to mirror finish
- Usual alloy bling

Hope you guys like it, even if its not a Tamiya again...

Looking Great. Hey wayne. I don't know a whole lot. But one thing I do know is the guy who designed the ultima for kyosho is the same fella who designed the baja 5 B for HPI. So hats off to you for recognizing the mans work! And I do love the original ultima! Nice one dante.

Nice one. Looks stunning. Do you think Hpi copied (even though much larger) the chassis for their Baja
