Vintage ultima questions

[Boons]

Along with my Vintage schumacher bug, I also have an Ultima bug too

Did any of the vintage Ultima's have slippers of any sort? I'm wondering what turn motor you could get away with? I guess the front end may need some weights!

Cheers

Nope, none... unless you consider the ever-loosening balldiff a "slipper"

The guys racing them in Japan at the vintage events prefer the 32 dp gears for racing: coarser but also stronger than 0.6 mod of the ultima pro etc.
(Though I have to say that 0.6 mod was pretty good and certainly better than the 48dp stuff I got from the US)

Cool thank you. I can't find another JG top deck/radio tray like I had on the old one

What motors do the guys run in Japan?

I'll have a complete body and wheel set from a Sideways for sale too

err, sorry I don't remember what motors they ran: I last raced with them about 5 years ago

At yatabe arena the spec moter was a 27 turn yokomo for 4WD and 23 turn for 2wd, in vintage class I believe. Yep, that's brushed .
