Very nice! I never gave the Outrage body a second look before, but it looks super cool on your ride! Can you mount it using the original Ultima body mounts?

I ran my Ultima II at the local track recently and noticed how stable it was during jumps vs. my hopped up swb vintage racer Ultima, so I decided to convert it to lwb. I'll probably steal your idea and use the Outrage body on it!

Hey, that first Outrage looks familiar. Pretty beat up I must say. Looks like it's been at the bottom of storm drain.

Hi Rich. Sorry to dig up this old thread but when ever I think of a sweet modified Ultima build I keep coming back to this one.
Just a few questions if you don't mind. How do you find the LW transmission and slipper? Also those equaliser dampers, do you rate them?
Can't remember wether or not you have driven or raced this one out on a track yet. What are your thoughts on the finished build in the dirt?
I also used one of these shells back in the day for my Triumph. I always liked the look of this shell. This build is a real credit to you.
Cheers-Jason

Thanks Jason. I got the transmission from Daryl Lane. He still sells them and is a member here. The equalizer shocks work very well. If you're a fan of the TCP or Kyosho Velvets, they are very similar. I have driven it on the track but very lightly. At the time, I didn't have a motor guard installed. Here's the link to the finished product thread if you haven't seen it:
