Re: Ultima Greenhorn
Pure awesomeness! Looks like the closest model is the Outlaw Ultima as it has the Kelron chassis and the longer shock towers.
Cheers

Re: Ultima Greenhorn
Thanks for the kind words -
Joel is right about the front shock tower, originating from an Outlaw Ultima.
The chassis is an Ultima II chassis (same as Outlaw Ultima)
Shocks are kyosho Sport Shocks L & M in green
Rims are SandMaster.
Battery straps - GPM.
Rod ends - T2M
ARP rear tires for bedlock
Academy RoadRunner front tires (fits like a glove with the inner ring mounted)
I was actually planing to have natural G10 shock towers on it, but Jeff´s mind reading skills seems to be fading

Re: Ultima Greenhorn
I vote for a white body!
Which body do you plan to use? Considering the wheel and tire combination I think it'd look best with something older than the second generation ultima body.

Re: Ultima Greenhorn
Jeff - Yup exactly my thoughts Black it is.
Mr.ED - I was thinking about a SandMaster body, if it´s long enough.
Any suggestions?
Front shocks are only medium which is fully allowed according to VKR.
There´s a chance the strut might survive a crash if it was G10 and supported by a brace.

Re: Ultima Greenhorn
We can definitely go custom. Aren't the mediums about 1/2" shorter than the longs that it was made for? Shorten it, brace it at the top and we could even make it 1/8" material too. Lots of options

Re: Ultima Greenhorn
Yes, they´re at least 1/2" shorter than the Long.
As it sits now, they´re mounted with long rod ends, making them app. 1/4" longer than with short rod ends.
So if it was 3/4" lower it should fit well.
If You go down a notch from 1/8, what would be the next std. thickness.

Re: Ultima Greenhorn
I usually use 3/32 and that's the next step down in standard sizes
Short shocks should be 3'
Medium shocks should be 3.5"
Long shocks should be 4"
I'm just scared taking 3/4 off might bind up at full travel...but I can do whatever you wish

I´ll try and do a mock up 3/4" shorter and see what happens.GoMachV wrote:I usually use 3/32 and that's the next step down in standard sizes
