Well after taking a look at the RB5 exploded parts diagram, I found the kingpin shaft and the retaining screw part numbers, I ordered them from kyoshoamerica.com.
RB5 Front king pin shaft -LA228 RB5 Front Kingpin shaft retaing screw -1369 (pack of 10 2.5x5 button head screws) I also ordered the servo saver set for the original ultima as it was only $4. They didn't have very many parts for the Ultima. Ultima Servo saver kit -UM14 This is probably it for now, will wait till next paycheck probably, unless the wife don't look lol. |
UM14 has been discountinued.
|
There's a company called Kimbourgh that makes top of the line servo savers.
If that's all you need is just the piece that goes on the servo. |
Well, got to dads house and dug out my ultima from storage. I have test fitted the knuckle carriers, I haven't got the king pins yet, still in the mail. I used the shim that comes with the knuckle set for fitting to the ultima arm, but it needs different shims because it don't take up all the slack. So I went to the LSH and bought some kyosho shim set, and some E clips to replace the missing and bent ones. I will post more pics about the shims later as they are packed away for the move. Here are some pics of my test fit. Keep in mind that the car is going to be completely torn to pieces and cleaned before reassembly.
You can see I had cut the top plate when I was younger so now it needs replacement. Also where do I find the shock bottoms that thread on to the shaft that mounts to the control arm. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01623.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01624.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01625.jpg |
Just won me a JG top plate from ebay for $7 shipped.

Here are some pics of the teardown. Sorry about the quality, these are from my cell phone.

Here is a link to my other thread about this car in case you want more updates. I will try to update as much as possible. With working on this old kyosho, its making me really want to go and buy a new kyosho zx5 or rb5 or something to add to the family lol. |
Here is a slipper that I have had since I got the car, is this a Option House part?
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01813.jpg Anyone know where I can get a new gear cover? http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01814.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01815.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01816.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01817.jpg Nasty inside there, does that even look like its all there? I think it is except for one set screw. Anyone know where I can get a new shock end? I need to get some good degreaser to clean the slipper and clean out the old shock oil from the shocks. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01811.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01810.jpg Question about the diff and shocks. Should I just run these ones? Or is there better alternatives? Should I just run these for now since they will work after I rebuild them and upgrade later? Also will these shocks work with the JG shock towers? From what I can tell the JG were for the longer shocks? Still waiting on the pins to mount the knuckles, ahhh I hate waiting for mail lol. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01812.jpg |
About the slipper, is called Racing Clutch was an optional part and ref. are:
W-5040 Racing Clutch 10-tooth W-5042 Racing Clutch 12-tooth W-5044 Racing Clutch 14-tooth W-5046 Racing Clutch 16-tooth W-5048 Racing Clutch 18-tooth |
Regarding those slippers they worked very very:thumbdown: ...crap.
mvh Isobarik |
The slipper is built on the pinion, well that's a first never seen
anything like that before. If I was you Id go ahead and re-build those shocks and re-use them, at least keep some parts on the car original.:thumbsup: |

thanks man, I sourced some different parts, hope they sell for ya.

Ok, I have the diff cleaned, I used some AE stealth diff grease inside there (clear stuff), I didn't fill it, but put about lil more then half full, is this good? I will run the rest of the tranny dry.
I know there are bearing that go on there before those cups, I am waiting for the bearings, and am trying to keep the stuff together for now. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01833.jpg |
That rhino steering looks tricky regarding the slipper remember that i tried it with all the orings inside didnt work took all but one out tested it and didnt work either i then took it of and threw it away hevent seen it since that day............

Got my tower order today!!!!!! Very happy about that, here are some of the other pics as promised as well.
The sanding block is for my boat stuff, I make my own boats out of wood. Here are some various pics of the stuff I got. Still waiting for the people to forward my kingpins from my last address. I think I will start installing this stuff on to my chassis that I have as I have not found a new one yet, I am getting a lot of parts here and I don't want to loose any so I will start assembling it and when I find the parts I need I will swap them out, but I have a nice amount of new stuff now to work with, my only gripe is using the old worn out screws I have, I will post pics of some later to show you what I am talking about. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01843.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01844.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01845.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01846.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01847.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01848.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01849.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01850.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01851.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01852.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01853.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01854.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01856.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01857.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01858.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01859.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01860.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01861.jpg |
Ok, here is a whole bunch more pics. Don't worry I will be replacing some of the parts I put back on the car, its just I had sooo many parts on my desk, and so much room, this will make it easier for me to build as I can get rid of all the parts that are being replaced and make my work area neater.
After putting it together, I found that the quality of the ST15 parts are not nearly as quality as the kyosho parts. The rear arms and bearing carriers are just fine, but the front bulk head is horrible, I will take you guys up on getting the stock one, the hinge pins didn't really fit because the parts were warped and I don't have a hinge pin reamer, so I put the hinge pin in a dremel and spun it in there to free it up and it worked ok, but I am not satisfied, and I had to drill out the top deck holes on the bulkhead because they were too small, but the 2 peice design sort of looks cool on there. I may have just got a bad casting. Of course I need to get adjustible turnbuckles. I'm not sure what the parts that came with the servo mounts are for. The rhino steering looks like it will work great! I need to put a washer on top of the posts because there is a gap between them and the top deck, and I need to get a draglink. The rear cvds look like they will work awesome!!! The only thing I don't like about the JG deck is that they didn't drill holes for a front sway bar and for a body mount. I need to find a new chassis, because I cut into it as a kid, but I just shined it and the shock towers up for now. I really like how it is turning out, I just need a few more parts and it will be mostly complete. Does anyone know where I can find a body cage and the part that mounts to the rear shock tower and the motor mount that the body hinges on? I may be able to salvage the body cage. Sorry if I seem to be typing in random bursts, I am tired its midnight here. Here are some pics: http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01862.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01864.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01865.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01866.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01867.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01868.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01869.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01870.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01872.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01873.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01874.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01876.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01877.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01878.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01879.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01880.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01881.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01882.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01883.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC01884.jpg |

Looks like a brand new car again. Good Job!:thumbsup:
I guess those duratrax wheels are the only ones you could find that would fit the old style hexes. |
Thanks, there is still more work to be done, some of the parts I put back on will be replaced, its just I have only so much work space, so I put it together to keep the parts together, and to make room for my B44 thats coming!!!
I could use the rb5 wheels or these duratrax ones will work, I think they will look pretty good. |
You will like the B44, I try to race mine as much as I can.
I have a boatload of new parts I'll be putting on mine soon. Will you be racing the Ultima as well? I assume you'll be going to the Vintage Nationals 2010 to race it. I saw all the videos to the 2009 race on youtube. |
I won't be racing either. I would love to race, but I can't find any tracks in my area, I am still on the quest to find tracks, I have a source that says there may be one about 40 min drive. I'm in FT Bragg, NC USA if you know any tracks. I really missed my losi xxx4 that I had, I never raced it but it was fun to drive. I know that the B44 is a great car from what I read, and I would like to be prepared to race once I find a track, I have a t4 ready to go if there are no 4wd classes.
I would like to go to the vintage nationals, I don't even know where that is, I will have to check that out on youtube for sure!!! |
Original Ultima Rollcage assembly....
Where the hell can I find one....maybe two.
I have an Ultima (turbo I think?) that I want to do up an original body for, possibly two. Getting repro bodies is easy enough, but I can't find the rollcages anywhere. Any ideas? |
I've been browsing the ebay to see what is the most rarest part to find
for the original ultima. Back in the 80's my uncle raced one in modified and stock. I would like to see if I can find one cheap enough to restore, as kinda like a side project down the road. |
After what seemed like years, it finially arived. Now I need turnbuckles.

ere it is with the wheels on, I am really starting to like how it is turning out!!! It looks pretty good even with that broken up trashed body that I repaired and painted, I may paint the new one similar once I get to that point. I still need the turnbuckles. I may try the RB5 ones as I found lunsford ones all the time on ebay for about $25, I just have to check lunsfords site to see their lengths.
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02158.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02159.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02160.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02161.jpg I may need some low proflie wheel nuts for the front because they don't thread on far enough to hit the nylon part. But I may leave them alone, they will stay on. |
...Looking good mate, looking good! (I'm quite jealous really :lol:)
|
Thanks, I hope to finish it soon, money is sort of going to my other projects at the moment.
|
Here is more progress, here you can see the spacers are available seperately, and how you put one on each side of the hub which makes perfect fit. I also installed RPM blue nylon nuts, mostly because I only needed one, but decided for a little more personallity, the only thing is the socket size used for them is 1/4 instead of metric like all the other nuts, but they are for 4/40 or 3mm, so they are fine. I also replaced most of the rest of the screws except for the front shock tower mouning screws because I don't want to take it off until I get a replacement tower, and the trans case screws because I don't feel like cutting them right now.
It really is starting to come together, still need turnbuckles, tires, new body and cage, shock rebuild parts, shock mount bushing, and shock end, new towers. I'm very pleased how its looking, and the trans is silky smooth unlike before it was nasty feeling. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02207.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02208.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02209.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02210.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02211.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02212.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02213.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/DSC02214.jpg |
Sorry guys, I was just trying something out.
http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/8846/imgp2211.th.jpg |
Got some tires glued up. I have a pic of the tires in the package, but my camera died, so these pics are from my phone, so forgive the quality.
I must say that the losi tires are superbly molded, not flashing, and the letters on the sidewall are crisp, I have seen some proline tires that were not molded very well, like excessive flashing, letters not crisp-fading into the sidewall barely readable, proline are great tires don't get me wrong, but the losi quality is top notch. I was hoping the front would be more low profile of a tire, but I think it will look ok once I am able to adjust camber. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/CIMG0071.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/CIMG0072.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/CIMG0073.jpg It may be a while before I update because I just bought a new car, so gotta recover from that ( a real 1:1 car - 05 Nissan Pathfinder LE = really nice!) |
This is the exact info I needed

Could you explain yourself a bit please? Maybe put a detail picture in your post too and some dimensions.
If these are the old star wheels ; they came with a set of adapters to let you put the right bearing for your car. |
I also have a vintage ultima in good working order, if anyone wants to buy it let me know. Few spares around as well like extra wheels suspension parts, undertray, all will go together though as I know how hard the spares are to get. Sensible offers considered, I'm in Cheshire UK.
|
hi if you still got it i'm highly interested :thumbsup:
