Kyosho Turbo Ultima MID MOTOR

So my turbo ultima didn't sell on ebay. That being the case I've decided to redo the old girl into something more interesting. I've uploaded a few photos to illustrate the idea I have in mind. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on a mid motor turbo ultima. Should I cut up the original chassis ...

Re: ULTIMA RC10 CARBON CHASSIS

I was thinking a Dremel cut off wheel would probably work well. What thickness do you recommend for shock towers and chassis construction?

Re: ULTIMA RC10 CARBON CHASSIS

How are you cutting out the carbon? I would love to make some custom parts for my RC cars.

Work looks great by the way.

Re: Kyosho Turbo Ultima Garage Find

Haha yeah. I almost bought a optima mid off eBay yesterday but I really want a regular optima. I don't like how the bodies fit on the mids to accommodate the motor location. I do like the handling better so I'm torn between form and function. Aesthetically speaking I love the turbo optima body. I wi...

Re: Kyosho Turbo Ultima Garage Find

I think if it doesn't sell on eBay for what I'm asking then I'm going to do some sort of resto mod on it. Fit it with a modern brushless motor and esc. Low profile digital servo. Modern wheels. Probably a small lipo battery center mass. Something cool and stupid fast. Could you fit a short course tr...

Re: Kyosho Turbo Ultima Garage Find

Yeah it's pretty much bone stock. The only upgrade is the futaba esc but it comes with the old mechanical one as well. I wouldn't mind fixing the car up myself but I know that I would eventually modernize everything which would defeat the purpose of using a vintage car as the base platform and also ...

Kyosho Turbo Ultima Garage Find

I recently picked up a Kyosho Turbo Ultima from a neighbor who was cleaning out his garage. I'm not really much of a vintage RC person but I do realize the car has some value to someone. What would be the best avenue for me to use to either sell or trade this buggy for something more modern? eBay se...
