Looks very nice how did you fit ultima pro arms? And what
Type of dogbones or driveshafts are required? A have the same
Car and your modifications are quite brilliant! Good job! Cheers.

This is what you need to fit the wider Pro arms.

UM-44 arms set
OTW-11 link set
LA-28 rear hubs

You need to make sure you have the later UM-50 rear arm holder (has two sets of hinge pin fixing holes, you use the inner holes) and UM-51 motor plate (has cut out to clear the longer arm).

The UJ's are part number W-5061 and you will need longer camber & steering links.

Can you tell me what steering kit you used and which servo? It must be some smaller size since I never succeeded mounting it that way without standing it up or cutting at least one lug

The steering parts are 92922, 92921 and the Lazer uprights LA23. Any 50mm wide servo will fit across the chassis, I'm using one from Hobbyking. Good luck.
