Sweet Ultima! As a fellow racer of old stuff, I have a couple of questions.

What are you running for 2.2" wheels? Particularly rear wheels? I'm racing a Triumph, and I'm assuming the offset on the Ultima is similar. Modern wheels don't have enough offset and end up with too narrow of a track. I've got one set of old HPI five spoke wheels that came with a used Optima I bought a few years ago, but that's it.

Why run the RC10 C-hubs and spindles? Just for parts availability?

Again, sweet Ultima.

There's nothing like a motor hanging off the back of your buggy. It just looks right!

Thx! DE Racing rear wheels from Amain, for Lazer ZX5.

Yeah, I had the AE stuff already, and wheels/tires

I run a Tekin mid motor RC10 as well - it's awesome! When it works a mid motor 2wd is way more fun to drive!

Very awesome car! You've inspired me to build up my Ultima!

Thx guys! Show us your own builds!

Nice rims. Never saw anything like them before.

Thx!

It's plain wheels with touring car decals on them.

Wow, nice work. Makes me want to dig out my old Ultima.

Thx! Do it man!

They should have designed it to fit battery like that, looks so much better.

And handles a lot better too.
Mmm, I think I'm gonna try to work this into my little side project: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=41535
