How are you guys?
Thank you Erik. What a quick uploading! :shock:

In regards to the mono-shock of my MIP+A&L car's front, it's based on MIP mono shock kit.
But I cut and drilled the brackets and replaced pivot points.
Because the standard dimension was not working well.

Mr. ED, what arms are on the front of your Ultima? Did you put them on backwards to get the front tires further out in front of the chassis? What body did you use? It looks really cool, makes me want to race mine again!

Go for it!
The front arms are andy's wide arms for the ultima, more commonly seen in black.

I had them flipped earlier but with the swept back pro-x arms in the rear the wheelbase became extreme long.
I prefer the swept arms in the rear with the shocks behind the tower. While extending the wheelbase they also keep bring the weight of the moter closer between the rear wheels.
I need to check where's the link of the tread with more info on this car.

killer beetle/ I guess you mean aku's not mine (not shown in this thread) :cry:
:lol: sure I have some more, naked too. I'll post them when I can.

EDIT: or maybe aku ' Kustomizerz ' wants to show some of his own pics of this one???

Thanks for the reply ED, I think I've got a pair of those arms :) I'll see if I can find some of those Pro-X rear arms to move the rear wheels back, I never really liked how far behind the rear wheels the motor is...Thanks again!
