This is how the Kyosho Turbo Ultima arrived. It was in sad shape.

And this was all that was worth keeping on the Turbo Ultima.

Brilliant effort! That looks absolutely stunning. Is it a shelfer or do you intend to use it?

What is the parts network like, for sourcing older parts?

I've just managed to obtain a re-re Turbo Scorpion. I'm saving it for a while, until I decide whether to open the box. I've got at least six months worth of work left on other car and boat projects.

I found all the parts on Ebay. There was no problems at all. 😃

That's nice. It would look very good in the back of my re-re Optima. 😂

And now the Turbo Ultima got it self a new carbon fiber motor plate thanks to Jerry Hellström on Facebook.
