He was into the Mid Ultima for a bit after this.

What? Mid motor? No way. Must be photoshopped. I have heard from someone that knows and mid motor was never ever used back in the day. In fact it wasn’t even invented until someone mounted a motor on a RC10GT

Aren't you forgetting about the Raider and such designs: light-years ahead of their time

[GoMachV]

According to my sources those cars never existed. Let’s just say they probably wouldn’t be legal to race

Looks like back of an Optima Mid or Lazer perhaps stuck on a 2wd chassis? Seems simple enough for the time.

We did that too! Optima Mid gear box on an Ultima chassis.

Do you have some pictures of yours or your friend's?
I've posted a tiny picture a couple times before: of one of those with the original chassis and body.
It looks stunning but every time I intended building one I remembered some drawbacks... which I forgot once again

All 30 years ago. Had no idea we'd talk about this in my 50's Sorry.

Sorry, not acceptable, we need a full photo spread and schematics as well as all time sheets from the races you used this in.
