Back to the Turbo Ultima to show with body removed.
Now that the first scratch is over with; this car is way too much fun to leave on a shelf!!
The 19.5T Lemans 240 motor is a nice match power-wise; it sure looks good keeping that front end light across the lawn!
I had both wings torn off by end of the 2nd battery and can't wait to do it again.
Adding a couple shots showing the aluminum Ultima chassis with the Bezerk CF chassis overlaid to show the wheelbase difference.
We shall get back into this CF Ultima Pro discussion shortly.
***Edit - 5/21/25 - Anyone checking back on the Bezerk Ultima Pro build; I'm still waiting on the Kyosho transmission cases and motor guard through A-main; ordered January 22!
I haven't lost interest, but trying to stay the course. My C2W has provided lots of fun in the meantime.
It has also made me that much more curious how this LWB Ultima with wide front arms might compare.
With warmer weather coming, I'm gonna need a reason to shelter in the cool basement.
Screw it; I just did a 'buy it now' to get these Kyosho parts coming.
