Looks great, Ruben, congrats! What are you going to do with it? It doesn't look like it needs much restoration...planning to upgrade it, run it or shelf it?

Looks like it was ran a few times, the tires are not that worn out... I dont know what im doing with this one yet but a brushless setup sounds good, one of the shock collars is broken but i gues ill order a set from pargu2000... I will inspect the car real good and let you guys know whats up...

ok, i have found that the car is in pretty good shape... so far... its missing the inner front tire "sleeves" that go inside the tire itself, i guess thats why the tires are so loose in the front rims and also the shock collars are mostly done... other than that its in very nice shape, i just received the body from marwankw and also a set of screws from HexHeads (hexscrews.com) now on the search for those inner front tire ''sleeves'' or support "wheel".

Those tire "sleeves" were a pain in the rear to get right. I remember looking for aftermarket regular rims right away to replace those.

Very Cool.
Love it. The Ultima can take a brushless with no problem. They are super light and does not need anything more than a 13t. I rather drive these to my rc10 graphite. _________________ Vintage .
