RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

This is one of my favorite Vintage rides. The Ultima..
The design just draws you in to take a closer look.
This particular one has the RC10 rear hub upgrade. The shocks ( Made by trinity?? ) The Aluminum rims to match. New cut body and cage.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

With the rims.
What do u think?

Can I suggest a silver body with black and red stripes, and maybe get the roof anodised in red also?

Silver as in mirror or just a shiny or metalic silver?

Tires I plan on using. Rears are altered.

Shhh! There are kids reading..

I will definately get some masks and special request.

Looks great!!! What would set it off would be a hot trick top plate and some smaller rear tiers (the tractor tires just look too big). I'm having the same issue right now with my frog build.
