I saw the same DVD, and I must disagree with you about the RC10 at that race. Jay Halsey's '10 looked like it was pushing like a freight train the whole race. If they had some better tire compounds (like Kyosho had) it may have been a different story.bormac wrote:Having watched the 87 worlds DVD countless times I dont think any particular car performed above another. It looked like luck played a big part with the success of a driver at Romsay. Bold statement i know but there was a lot of spills and cars being plagued with gremlins.
Although i truly love Joel's Ultima i dont think it was as good a car as the RC10 back then, just that Joel managed to get the car around the circuit with less hassles than some other drivers.
I will agree with you that I think Joel got lucky, the other Kyosho driver's looked faster and the Schumacher cars looked fast too, but weird crashes and slow turn marshalling set the order...

I have a problem with the wing.
The OT107 MID wing is too narrow!
The Ultima is not good!
I thinks a PARMA wing can be the solution , but what's wing ????
Some body have an idea...

The size for the wing would be:
5 1/2 inch wide by 3 3/4 inch , somebody have this or know the manufacturer ?

The wing in the fourth post of the first page looks like an Optima series wing, does it not?

Hey prp, can you add some more photos on how you attached the body to the chassis? Are you using the mount from the rear tower?
Thanks. I have always wanted to use a Tomahawk body on my Ultima project I am working on.
Thanks.
I really like how clean this car is. i would love to see some bigger pics when you have some time.
