Le Mans Stock motor.
The missing wing and mounts are in my tool box. I forgot why I even removed them.

How badly beat up is it? Not bad at all!

Here's my DieHard NiCD. It's even older than the Ultima II.
It came from a Sears Lobo II. The last remaining piece of that relic is in the pic.

I ordered a new NiCD for the buggy and battery holder for the Futaba transmitter. Then I set out to find new tires to replace those old baldies. And THAT'S when I discovered that this thing is considered "vintage"! For a second there I though I had bit off more than I could chew, but with the help of some of your awesome members I've ordered new a set of CRP 1712 font axles that can fit modern Tamiya wheels and 2.2" tires on this old buggy.
I received my Tamiya wheels and Pro-Line Dirt Hawg tires already. These things are HUGE! Still waiting for my tire glue though...

Next on the shopping list is an ESC, full bearing set, faster motor, maybe Li-Po conversion and probably a new body.
Side note: For the holidays I bought my brother in law a new, disassembled Tamiya Dark Impact 4WD DF03 and some starter gear to get it up and running.

Hopefully I can give him a good run when I'm done with this vintage buggy!
Thanks to to the guys who helped me over PM! I'll keep posting pics as it comes along.
