oooh, I really hate the fact we don't get updates on subscribed threads anymore.
Must be over 3 years now. Makes me wonder if it will ever get fixed

no, that's interesting with the shorty pack. If only I had an Ultima, I would design my own B4 layshaft for it and kick some Durango butt.

Not bored at all, keep it coming!

Maybe you should group all your posts on the same thread? Just thinking.

I have to say that last pic is fantastic, really inspiring for the Ultima I am wanting to restore.

Try fitting your servo across the chassis. Allows you to get better balance on the car by moving the battery forward for more steering & balance.
See pics here.

Looks great

Were you an old Ultima racer too? Have you run yours on carpet? If so what shock settings have you gone for?

Anyone have any set ups for the Ultima on carpet in terms of spring and oil choice? I understand the Kyosho small bore springs fit?

Doesn't your lazer shaft also fit the triumph gearbox... which in turn fits the ultima (with little modification)
