Wooders28 4703 Posted February 10, 2016 Great fan of the ultima also,it was my first successful 2wd race car! I planned on doing the same,a factory spec and a modified. I've kept the factory,but sold the others due to lack of time really. Here's one from the late 80's! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wooders28 4703 Posted February 11, 2016 I see an Ultima and a Falcon! What's that one the little fella in the "Hornet" t-shirt is inspecting... a Madcap? The little fella (whos 40 in a few weeks!) has an optima mid custom. We all had tamiyas for bashing though,I had a Frog,no prizes for who had (and still has,infact still got all his!) The hornet and who had the falcon.The other wee guy ran a super sabre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
