Use duratrax competition orange backed in white. Very similar to vintage pactra orange, maybe even the same thing.

Again, I'm late with input but yeah, a box art Turbo Ultima is white and orange. I'm not sure why this is a thing suddenly. Is someone making incorrect decals? I purchased a Turbo Ultima brand new in 1987 and I still have the box somewhere.

Besides the platinum shocks?

When I restored my Turbo Ultima a billion years ago now, I remember remembering that I had to buy the motor guard separately AND I wore out the final pinion which was replaced with the hard version. So the list that radioactivity posted is correct....

Here is my Turbo Ultima. Recent threads have inspired me and I ordered a new body set from Marwan. This will be my next resto after I'm done with the BBT sprinter. I'm starting this thread as a placeholder to encourage me to post pics as I go. I...

I propose a max of 4 pics and a link to the full thread for comments : to keep it uncluttered.

Found a nice turbo ultima i think.. Correct me if i'm wrong...
Like the red arms on it... :lol: Thats why i got it...
Just found out i lost the other pictures. i have to upload it again... :(

Last post

Great find! I like it!

Thanks! It was a lucky find... :D
Both Marwan and TBG have the turbo ultima shell I believe, perhaps Kamtec too.
They could be listed as ultimaII (2) or ultima pro; but that's all the same

Got some bodies a turbo ultima...

Just received this car from sunny Puerto Rico. It's actually my first Ultima so I have a lot to learn. It appears I am missing the rear motor guard but other than that it is very clean. Has a regular Ultima body on it which I prefer to see the...

I will do the wheels, good idea. They don't look like they have ever been run so will polish up very nice.

Is there anyone making tires that fit these wheels these days? Out of curiosity. I will likely run RB5 carriers in front and 2.2 and RB5 rear...

Hey guys. I recently dug out my old Turbo Ultima, and I'm having a few problems that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.

I'm having issues with two things, sloppy steering (no surprise) and the right rear CVD constantly popping out when the...

These appear to have a larger offset

Yeah, I've looked at those. The only problem with them is that the matching front wheel in that set is also hex driven. In order to run those, I'd have to convert the front of my T.U. to hex driven also. Which...

So, I was getting a bit nostalgic and pulled out a couple of cars from 30 years ago. I cannot remember if this was an Ultima or a turbo Ultima. Can someone help?

The front shocks were from my RC 10

I just dug out a bunch of my old cars that we used to race back in the late 80's early 90's and I want to get my Turbo Ultima running again. What I want to do is find out what 2.2 wheels and tires will work on it and if there is a readiy available...

I think you're looking for the sand viper body.

Personally I find the desert gator a better fit. The nose section of the desert gator covers the topplate entirely, sand viper doesn't.

further down the thread you'll see I'm using sand viper...

This original ultima came with a titanium color spare chassis, that i think came with the turbo ultima?
But it has gold shocks which iluckily have a full set of platinums.
No sway bars, and a glass rear shock tower, but an aluminium front tower?...

Appreciate the kind words gents, always inspired by other builds on here too.
