just thought i'd share a few pics with the gang here im new here.tell me what you think...
got boed today so i decided to slap the dremel to some old hot trick a arms i had laying around.unfortunatelty when i took off the old one i also had to remove the stabalizers.maybe i will find some parts to make a way to atach the stabalizers on the hot trick arms (in the future sometime)
mr ed for the most part its pretty stock but in mint shape other than the 2 body's i had to strip as its imposible to find a turbo ultima body .i also am in need of some new turbo ultima rear rims for it.i have the fronts.mostly ive been putting my time into my optima's really.i use my optima mid with the jg body and chassis as a runner to get my kicks as you see i installed a mamba in it and it holds up well.i love the aftermarket stuff and dont need exact box cars.this kyosho stuff is too damn addicting.and some dude fireboy just has unlimited cash scooping everything up lol is he part of this forum?my ebay handle is hand_d15 so lets be kind to each other lol
Fireboy buys low and sells high. He will eventually abandon auctions if they surpass his profit threshold. Rear Turbo Ultima rims are tough to find. Took me years to find mine.
Selling Kyosho stuff isn't consistent. I placed optima on ebay a couple months ago and it sold in a couple of hours...had tons of questions. Prior to that, I listed a mid with all new parts (except for the diff gears) and it only sold for very little (which was more than I was expecting).
Same with the ultimas...they never seem to bring the price that they're worth...probably because of the Outrage and the 15-20 other kits that share the ultima platform.
The only "high production number" car that seems to be climbing in price is the RC10.
no need for the turbo ultima rears really as i just scooped this rim n rubber set from this guys auction...dont like the waffle tires but i think these are see's and i do have the hottrick axle conversion already.
After a long time I finally got enough bits together to build a shelf queen Turbo Optima Mid to accompany my Optima Mid, here are some pics.
I also have (all boxart paint):
Ultima
Triumph
Turbo Optima
Lazer ZX
Lazer ZX-R

I like it !!! looking forward to many pictures............The table is high class for RC build........can i hear anybody in the background scream............. :lol:
I got these two in a package deal. The Mid looks like it was only ran a few times...it seems to be all stock with the exception of Andys front arms and a Losi Xcellerator body. The Ultima, ran a little more but its still in good shape and all stock....

IIRC correctly the Turbo was slightly thicker material, and was bronze color / hard anodized.
So my turbo ultima didn't sell on ebay. That being the case I've decided to redo the old girl into something more interesting. I've uploaded a few photos to illustrate the idea I have in mind. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on a mid motor...

Nice work! I'm interested to hear how it handles. You've turned a Turbo Ultima into a Mid RWD, while I turned a Turbo Optima Mid SE into a Mid RWD...different paths with the same destination. :mrgreen:
Found this beast in a lot of RC cars I purchased. Have not got a chance to start working on it yet, but couldn't wait to show it off any longer. If anyone has info on this please add it.
Just read that a BEC kit was sold and can be ascertained by...

UGH...I wish I could find where I read that... :( my bad for sure
Anyone done one of these. My ultima re-re is far from stock was thinking about getting one of these to make it a mid.
Was wondering if the transmission internals from the rear motor transmission will fit in the ot255 gear box. Not sure what other...

Ok. I have a lot of the parts to do it just have to do it. Maybe if they still available after the holidays. I was able to get a rc10cc so my discretionary fund is depleted at the moment.
Anything remarkable underneath?
