Hand cut a gearbox brace and started to come together.
Replaced all the screws with Stainless cap screws as i was going.
The wing mounts tapped to M2.5 but I'm not sure if I'll keep it as I found the JJ ultima wing kits, and I'm liking the old school wire thing.
See how it pans out.

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - September 2024 ** - Winner - RC10th
Mines a small entry, and I mean really small. IMG_20240910_082337375_HDR.jpg IMG_20240910_082510939_HDR.jpg This is my NRC K24, a 1/24 scale Ultima Pro Replica with a lexan wing by Jason Cooper, paintwork by Dominator Airbrushing and custom mini 5 spokes by me. Really fun to drive, if not a bit over...

Re: Ultima Worlds Spec
This is a beautiful buggy. I like the peppermint color. I guess Akira raced with this paint scheme at the 87 race maybe?
After the Tamiya Astute original, this would be second in terms of appearance for me...very sleek.

Re: Ultima Worlds Spec
I agree with others; the peppermint color isn't my thing but it is a great looking car, always liked the lines of Ultimas. Is this basically the same chassis as the vintage Optima re-re with a carbon top deck and bronze anodizing? Did the US get the JJ Ultima or am I just late to the party seeing i...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
Amain was (is?) closing out some toy grade stuff, took a gamble on them since they didn't have much for pics or reviews. This entire lot was under $100, and while shipping wasn't free I did make another purchase that qualified so the entire lot shipped for free. Pretty impressed with the quality for...

Re: Kyosho Optima Mid 60th Anniversary - kit 30643
To have clues about my wiring, I need to deal first with my battery support... For this I started to draw the chassis section (before checking, I also thought the lip for the Mid standard chassis would go along the edge of the chassis at the place where there is the battery and it is not the case). ...

I now own a goldpan
After that interesting ebay situation (well, it's not actually over yet) I found this rc10 on offerup. It was fairly cheap in rc10 terms, and looks to be a mashup of a bunch of different parts. Should make a nice runner that I dont have to care too much about and that's really what I want in an rc10.
