The other sides of the box...

Not trying to promote a specific vendor but https://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/wheels/associated-1 I just got some 2.2"ers here.
Direct fit, no hex adapters.

Kyosho brushless motors went on sale the other day so I pulled the trigger on 13.5T Gold ($87.xx) , 19.5T Red ($75.xx) and a couple ESC's.

Currently waiting on 87 Ultima Worlds kit, and have collected a few parts for that build.

^^^ I've been having that same issue too!! Just ordered something that was shipping from 1.5hrs away in WI, watched it travel to Florida and back with USPS.
In their defense, this "efficiency route" only took an extra few days.

Serious entry level racing machine!!!

In this first picture, I'd argue the car is actually 'stuck' in sand

Adding my best friend, Hans the dachshund to the dog thread.

Received my kit today.

Welcome to my discussion thread for the Kyosho Ultima WC 20th kit. My intent is to make the finished product look like a classic Turbo Ultima with the wrong colored shocks. I’ve never actually owned a Turbo Ultima so once it comes to mounting the Tomahawk body and lexan wing it’ll veer off the manua...

Rear section assembled, trans rolls nice and smooth, installed the kit slipper discs for now and tightened the locknut flush. I messed with the preload adjustment on the ball diff for a while and I have left it a few turns backed off, it just feels nice there. The first picture shows the new lighten...

Checking in after a couple warm December days and stalled assembly updates. I have been giving thought to the wire wing mounting hardware and came up with a plan after Coxbros helped with wing tube dimensions from his original turbo Ultima. The new top deck has the 3mm holes for wing mount tubes so ...

Got the trans spacers changed to non-wing mount style, assembled front bulkhead and steering linkage in place.
More to come.

Tonight I revealed that the rear arms are on backwards in that photo above. Luckily, right away. The chassis came together well and everything feels acceptably tight without needing a bunch of shimming. Overall I’m really happy with the fit and finish of the assembled chassis. The molded parts are v...

Thanks for checking in; my mind is on the electronics as well! :D I have plans to use a 19.5T 240S Le Mans w/240S ESC. I see the kit instructions calls out a 15.5T or 13.5T Le Mans motors. I do have the 51T BL spur gear installed. The battery door and small plastic parts that latch it into the top d...

I'm pretty new here also Kenny, welcome to the forum and nice car!!

The more I check back here, the more I learn or stumble on the next awesome build.
Turns out, we got some pretty resourceful fellas hanging around this vintage minded RC support group.

OK, I'll bite. 8) I'm very much looking forward to this coming weekend. I have 2 nephews, 7 & 9. I have 2qty of everything shown in the photo below. There comes a time in every young mans life where they need to connect the battery leads to the motor and let the learning begin. :D It doesn't mat...
