GoMachV's Ultima's- oval, buggies and trucks oh my

You don´t really need a body for that one Jeff - unless You´re going to run it.
It looks amazing with the white g10 against the dark graphite.

I agree or leave it clear...

[GoMachV]

Ok here are the truck and pro with bodies....





And the ugly duckling....it's basically the leftover bits. I took 6 shocks and made 4 "non leakers"....and after 3 days of heavy duty shelving they haven't leaked a drop.



And the start of the "last" of the bunch. Copper penny anno. I blame Dennis

[DennisM]

Wauw Jeff, this looks fantastic - really something else.
Looking forward to see how You go about the shocks.
Did You polish the radio deck to get it so shiney?

[GoMachV]

It's fresh black 1/16 g10. I don't like it as it is actually quite scratched. I won't buy any more black- just using up what I had

I'm not sure what I will do with the shocks. They are copper but a bit blotchy. Not sure if it will be noticeable tho after clamps and springs. Hmmm

OMG, I love getting back to this thread now and then. I have never seen these chassis so fresh and cool looking. Awesome work!

[HKS_TRD]

I'm jealous your platinums haven't leaked, my brand new fronts leaked instantly, the rears are faring better
Even though its only a shelfer I am considering changing the o-rings in the front ones anyway

I like the look of the Pro with the clear shell

[GoMachV]

I have a set of 4 of the tiny shaft o rings, and I think I have found the proper primary o rings....I want to source them for the other two shocks and get them up and working. I was never a fan of platinums but they do have a cool factor! Use green slime if you rebuild them, only way to save those tiny O rings from cutting.

I have a set of ultimate rears, I may locate a set of fronts and use them on the copper chassis. I remember them being very smooth

[HKS_TRD]

What is green slime?

I bet one of the o-rings is more prone to leaking than the other

I have a spare used set of platinums here too, one has a bent shaft but I have a new shaft for it, not sure what I will do with those.

I don't have a set of Ultimate shocks, are they hard to find?

[GoMachV]

Medium length pop up a lot but not longs and shorts

Green slime is a shock assembly lube from team associated

[REMJ666]

Hold on to your hat because I have some more stuff that I think you can use...I will post a picture shortly...

[REMJ666]

I will get a bigger box and send it all to ya...

[GoMachV]

I do believe I can use that lot!
You rock!

[REMJ666]

I'm not gonna send the buggy chassis or nose this time...I need a gear cover for my Ultima Pro XL...Do you have one ????

[GoMachV]

I am actually looking for a couple covers myself but I will locate you one. it's the least I can do to offset that lot
If your not ready to send the chassis and nose that's cool- let me know when it's coming.
