Great choice on that body!

Scr8p would have shunned you if you used toilet shims on a Kyosho.

Thanks to DennisM my Pro looks like a Pro now! Still liking the natural g10 tho. Next up....the optima pro body is here and will hopefully be gracing this chassis soon!

Looking good

I'm keen to see how you go cutting out the Pro body, as the Pro and Pro XL both take the same body despite one car being longer so I'm not sure if the body sits in the same position at the front or the rear on the XL to accommodate the extra length

I think I have your disease as I have a NIB Pro partly built, all the bits for an all carbon XL and the bits left over from the original Ultima I bought but I now have 99% of the bits needed to build a Pro with LWB chassis but short arms ...

I have an optima pro body that was on it before and for great so I was just going to copy it I like the look of the optima pro body over the ultima bodies. Not sure which end suffered on the stock setup but I would assume the front

I was tempted to go xl on the suspension but they seem to fetch pretty good money. I'll be fine with short arms until the right ones come around

Very nice...

Here is how the previous owner trimmed the optima body to fit, and I traced it onto my TBG body so I can replicate the cut after paint. I thought about leaving more of the rear but it fits so nice without it there

That truck of yours is missing a nice yellow Kyosho battery...

I do have a white kyosho battery, but it's in my maxxum

Your not selling that truck anytime soon are ya ???

No, not till I really need the money lol!

Pm me your add and I will get you a battery out to ya....

Nice trim. I never really liked that undersized rear spoiler anyway. So you'll add your own wing, I assume?

oh yeah, it has a "real" wing, attached to some raider wing mounts I found for $2 instead of the $40 they ask for the real Ultima ones
