Kyosho Ultima Roll cage and bumper

[DanB4]

Bought an original Ultima recently but it's missing the roll cage, including the metal roof part + wing mount and the front bumper (as in pic).

Were the original rear tyres OT-66?

Any advice sourcing the bits will be appreciated!

EDIT: Seems I need UM-16 (Body set) and UM-21 (Front Bumper).

Cheers,

Dan

Rear tyres are OT-66, good repros are made by Marwan

As for the roll cage, they are very hard to find these days, and don't expect them to be cheap. You can pick up a runner Ultima for less than a new roll cage. NIP bumpers were available on ebay recently, priced at £18 each, and they sold out fast. For a roll cage expect to pay £50+ for a NIP one, £20-25 for a used one in good condition.

Ouch, thanks for the help Terry

Hi
How about a rebuild in the vain of the cars that came 2nd and 3rd in the Worlds - they seem to have used the traditional style Ultima chassis with Tomohawk body (which you can get through Kamtac)

Bit cheaper than the original roll cage!

The roof just a piece of painted and folded lexan.
