I had enough spare Ultima parts laying around to build a car up,so I bought a NIP UM-37 Ultima Pro chassis.
It's an alloy chassis and 99.9% of the other Pro's I've seen have graphite ones,what goes on here?
It's exactly the same as the chassis on this Pro-I actually bought it off the same guy selling this car...I plan on buying an alloy upper chassis from PARGU2000 to match it.
nice build mate! just like the optima mid custom, early ultima pro's were released with a alloy chassis then upgraded to a glass chassis in later kit's.
Oh,that's not my car-I just bought the chassis off the guy who is selling that Pro.
Here's mine-I gotta buy me a front bulkhead,so I can mount all the front end...I've only just started on it.
I'm really only building it so I can use all the Ultima parts I have left over from my Turbo Ultima restoration.
Thanks for clearing that up,it should look cool with an alloy top deck.
I heard another version earlier onhere: The alloy chassis was the standard for the first ultima pro (white body on box) in Europe and Japan. Only in the US a black grp chassis was standard.
The ultima pro in the black body box had a CRP chassis wich had a longer wheelbase. That one got known as the pro XL
Hi all, I'm looking for a little help with a custom chassis project. Currently, all my stuff is in storage but I am hoping to get my hands on it for over the winter months. I want to make a custom Ultima Pro XL-length chassis, and graft either a B4...

Thank you Adam. I'll just post the dimensions here for anyone else who might be considering a similar build.
Just click the images to enlarge them and let me know if any of this is unclear.
I'm hoping one of you CAD-literate guys has a chassis layout file for an Ultima Pro XL that I would be able to use to print off a scale chassis template on sticky back paper. Or if you know which tree I need to bark up to find one, that's just as...

Dredging this back up from the depths to see if anyone has something I can print out and use to layout a new chassis.
I just picked up a Ultima Pro at the local junk store, in a box with a radio shack monster truck for $20.00. All the Pro is going to need is the upper fiberglass tray and a body. Dave (DW911) has this upper tray for sale and I was wondering if any...

the pro's flat brown anodised alu chassis has the same wheelbase as a stadard or turbo ultima. But apparently that chassis was not the noe included with the pro for thUS market? Still I think the wheelbase is only different for the kelron and...
This is my first post on this forum, and I apologize if my english is not 100%
I recently had a look around my old RC cars and found some parts from my first real race car.
This got me the idea to try to build a replica.
Prior to the...

There are some Ultima PRO XL for sale but they are either very expensive or in bad shape.
Found a old Ultima 2 on Ebay that I am going to use as a donor car for the parts that is missing.
I do not know in which direction this build will take, but I...
Well it's going to be an Ultima anyway. I picked up an outrage for CHEAP the other day. I also have gotten a hold of a Ultima Pro chassis. (I know that the XL chassis is generally more desirable, but I like a twitchy car!!) Got a few Questions...

I'd love to see a pic of the bottom of that motor guard, and how it mounts to the chassis there. I wonder if it would work for an Optima?
Erik - I still don't have a gear cover. :( ...I think the stock one will still fit. I'll be sure to let you...
I just bought this Ultima Pro last week. It's a bit rough around the edges as you'd expect from a car this age but I think it'll clean up well. The main reason for buying it was the fact that I've never had one before, I was always into the 4WD...

Fantastic looking car, although I'd find it really difficult to choose between those sets of wheels. Both sets look great. The second set look like Sees if I'm not mistaken?
Maybe change the wheels around each week so both sets get to go on...
This was bought off ebay last year as birthday present to myself to give me a large dose of nostalgia. I raced one as a kid back in 91-94 when everybody else had Schumacher cougars and rc10s.
I had to...

Hey mate
What bits did you use to do the shorty conversion mate? It looks great. I just picked up a pro with the same alloy chassis but was puzzled as to what holder I could mount but it looked difficult with all those slots for the saddle pack...
