Kyosho Ultima Mk1 rebuild
 

Hi guys,

After some years, I finally found a Kyosho Ultima mk1 to rebuild .. err in fact I've got two Ultimas !! LOL .. Many years searching, and now I have 2 ..
Well, the objective here was to make a shelf queen, but ready to run at any time..

After some work, polishing aluminum parts, researching some new and retro parts, waiting for them to arrive, here it is.. It's not to the level of some artwork we find on this forum, but still pleasant to rebuild and admire..

Here is the chassi, after some work..

Pargu wheels, carbon fiber upper deck (Mci racing), 3D printing collar shocks, new original arms, etc..

And finally, with my first real R/C Radio Futaba Attack-R.. I think it's almost 28 years old.

Hi it's Ryan, I think you bought that from me!

Looks great!

Hi Ryan,

no, these Ultimas I bought them here in Portugal. Yes I did contact you, but you sold the MK1 to another mate.
