I knew I had it but only just found it today when I wasn't looking for it.
I always thought it was from the Ultima Pro but I have a Pro & the top deck is GRP. This top deck is alloy. The only Ultima that I don't have to check it with is the Pro XL . My Ultima 2 that I got was made in Kyosho's Kelron ( plastic) Upper & lower chassis.
I have never seen an alloy upper on any ultima- That's an interesting piece.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
The top deck is common for that entire series, but the 7 slotted chassis is spefic to one model I believe: the others were kelron. I'm throwing a long ball on this but I think it's for that funky lookingrace car; a 2-seater of nissan?

I have one of those top decks too. One day I'll pick up a kelron chassis and use the longer wheelbase for a stadium truck; with rc10T arms for the correct stance.
So it's a rare chassis being alloy or should I say not too common??
Mr ED. If you want a Kelron chassis I have one you can have. Postage would be cheap being a plastic plate
I will never use it
Thanks for the info again.
It seems that the particular chassis has been used on more than a couple of OR´s.
If You can find a copy of the 1990´s mini cataloge, I think You´ll be able to see the different versions there.
Yes, I think the chassis is rare, I search ebay twice a week for Kyosho Optimas and Ultimas and I can´t remember seeing a nip "Ultima" seven slot alloy chassis.

I have one for you!

I found out a couple years ago that Kyosho released different versions of those cars in the US vs. ROW (rest of the world). The scale series in the US were all based on the ultima 2 chassis (kelron). I know the versions in Europe had aluminum chassis...but I didn't realize that the top plate was also aluminum.
The 300ZX looks like it. So was that the only car that the alloy 7 slot chassis is off?
Different spec to the rest of the world. You learn something new every day. I got it in a trade I did about 5 yrs ago for a Ultima. He gave me the chassis & top plate as a extra. Even though the Ultima had a Kelron Chassis. It's the top plate that really interested me as it's alloy. I really had no idea what it was so I just threw it in my parts bin & even forgot about it.
I had plans on building another Ultima up with all my parts I have got over the yrs so this chassis may see some use.
Hello,I am looking for the 1st generation ultima top deck.Can someone please tell me the part number.I think have found one but the part number is UM 15.Also can anyone tell me the part number for the frp Turbo top deck.Thankyou,James.
The actual jammin top deck is pretty wastefull of material. I have tried to make it more efficient, while retaining front tower support. Less wasted material on the sides.
Im not a fan of the style,, could be made more curvy like 91 or 93,, or just...

I like that one as well. Waiting on material, then I can try some more.

It is on my yz10 runner and came with a parts lot. I have no idea which model of yz10 it is from though. Although, the weave does look very fibrelyte. Sorry about the terrible quality image.

Agree it's most likely a Fiberlyte but there were quite a few YZ10 top deck/shock tower/main chassis made by aftermarket companies back in the 90's.
Some of you know that I have a made a one off buggy with a TQ chassis that has a top deck that I made from a carbon fiber sheet. I have an opportunity to buy a composite craft top deck, but I am not sure how it will fit. I'm also using an...

Hey, :shock: where did you get my wifes magazines? :?
if you read the updates in your garage thread you will have your answer :mrgreen:
Any ideas who's the manufacturer of this red aluminium top deck and front shocktower for the Yokomo 870 - yz10 - dogfighter?
I think I've seen it as a full chassis conversion kit once, but can't find any reference.
I was hoping someone could help me out, since I'm not too familiar with the Ultima series.
I trying to find out which versions of Ultima are featured in each of the 2 photos.
Any help would be appreciated.

The second one is hard to tell. It has Turbo Ultima chassis and shock towers. Standard Ultima radio plate and camber links. Gold shocks from ?. Deleted sway bars.
