Thank you! Was a lot of fun putting it together. Glad to see everyone is enjoying it.

The manual calls for gold body shocks. But blue versions (same shocks, different color) seem to be pretty common on T3's. Maybe a later run model? Gold Body Shocks: 7003 (1997-1999 Sport) 7013 (1997-1999 Basic) Blue Body Shocks: 7009 (2000-2002 ARR) 7010 (2000-2002 RTR) Hard Anodized Shocks: 7037 (...

Nicely built winner... chassis photo looks like a 90's RCCA product image... super sano.

Would the real Mark Forbes please stand up?

Hmm... not as catchy of a hook... maybe some contact info?

I also started to make myself a replica



Part 4 (Saturday 7th November 2015)

The Ultima is back where it belongs!

What is going on with the case on the Tekin? Is it splitting? Or is this just a weird viewing angle? After 2015 restoration it was in good condition. It looks like something did happen to the case. Maybe someone fought the servo tape trying to remove it from the shock tower and damaged it. That dan...
