Snappy1: Yea the motor plate looks like a possible powder coat, maybe it's really stout paint IDK which but it's not commin off anytime soon that's 4 sure. Yea there is still some fluid in the hydra, I took out one of the plugs and it started to ooze a bit so I plugged it back in lol. I like it, it is pretty long wb, and can be stretched a bit further, I suppose for the truck variant? Gonna try to fit her with some pink/green springs too. Thanks for checking out my post!

Here's how she looks at the moment. Note the chopped-up chassis & front brace...Not a big deal, it's still strong enough. Added some shoes: Wrapped the underside with some black vinyl : Had to use some shoe goo so it got a little messy but totally removeable Gonna make a nice runner. Not a shelf Queen but I'd still say it's a good display piece once I get a body.

Some anti-corrosion yellow paint cleaned up pretty good

This is what I was able to do. Filed the axles down:

I got this on a popular site for $30.00 US (postage included) Looks about the correct price for it lol. Was in pretty rough condition lol but I noticed the black mass inside of the slipper cover and said to myself "what the badword" and bought it. this is how it looked when I got it:

Hey Kurt I forgot to mention, nice cool vintage ultima pro you got there as well dude. I'd like to get some legit ultima pro tires/wheels, but these og tamiya ovals hit good on the slippey frozen pavement/grass & dirt patches outside. Had to hang her up on the old pegboard, as we just started getting pounded w white radioactive ice from above haha I kid on the radioactivity...or do I...Isotopic Fallout is almost everywhere in varying doses. JK. Or do I?! JK. I'll stop being weird now so back on track.. sorry I'm tired. I will definitely get a video or two up once weather improves, but I have had her running indoors on my kitchen floor before so hmmm...(good for burnouts only )

Will do.

Thanks Kurt. By upgrades, just meaning a beefier front upright, that's all. But I just got through bashing some more after fixing the broken upright with super glue & JB Weld. I beefed them both up actually...They won't be breaking again soon I can tell you that much haha. Yea I noticed the front tower being metal as well...I just need a wing & front bumper.

Hi I just kinda fixed up an ultima pro rolling chassis I picked up a few months ago. Took it out for a spin. Very fast, temps were great (albeit being just about freezing weather) She handled well, & nice experience for me to hear old school motor scream. esc: Novak 610-RV had this since like 93 & i haven't used it for more than 15+yr, still works great, especially on 2.4Ghz. motor: Some brushed piece with a 15t pinion battery: 2s 5000mah I guess the front knuckle and end links, being dormant for so long were under such immediate shock from being used again and in such cold weather, were just like "I give up" Love this car tho...So anyone know of an upgrade or anything? Are the ultima rb6 uprights stronger or will they even work?

Good eye sir! Home Alone yea it's on Hulu Me & my GF were on a Home Alone binge lol

Thanks lol yea just waiting on the body & lipo now!

No man, I totally get where you're coming from! It's gotta be like that if you're from there, I remember the pointing Junipero Serra statue on the way there... Some more pics of a temporary dust cover made from a takeout taco salad tray...It's ugly only because of the shoe goo, otherwise it's a real nice looking addition and it's almost 100% sealed except for the motor area.

Thanks Biz73, I appreciate you! Sant Cruz!? Haven't been there for a while, I remember going there as a kid from the Bay, good to see someone from a place I have great memories. Thanks again dude!

Had to add some anti-sway equipment. Kinda ugly, but works really well. I got some red gearboxes on deck, probably going to run with these black ones until failure then swap them.

Thank you! No graffiti just having some fun. And the colors...yea they look fresh in the flesh, pics don't do them much justice...and my camera isn't that good.

Threw on (drew on?) some Tamiya stars

And I just ordered a body kit from Penguin! Can't wait! Then just gotta add the saddle pack, add radio gear, then run her on (hopefully) dry pavement...I might need a belt guard as well but TBG is on short supply, so unless I find one elsewhere, I'll either have to make one or wait til TBG is back on top.

It's a tight interference-fit but so far, ZERO problems!

Another pic:

Thanks man! I think 3500kv is good for now, to see if the slipper holds up (it's soft steel not hardened like I was hoping it would of been)

Some very genius fixes! I share mine using threaded rod: If running CRP arm holder/supports, just use the extra hole on the bottom, use threaded rod straight through to the opposite end! see pic 1. This fixed my issues and yes the Thorp drive joint will pop out just like a dogbone. If running stock arm supports, just drill out the very center and put the threaded rod through, secure on both sides see pic two.

Wooders, thanks for the tip! And yea it's a speed passion, is that what turn it is for 3500kv? I guess so..here's a photo:

I just got a hw ezrun Max10 60A...And Speed Passion 3500kv. Waiting on this stuff, then deciding on either lipo or nimh, and still need a body/underguard!

Yes Thank you...if it proves itself under powah!
