I've been lurking around for a bit so I fugured I'd post up the latest project I've been working on. I'm doing a restore/restomod on a Kyosho Outlaw Ultima truck, which I once had as a teenager. It's 2wd and based off of the Kyosho Ultima series which included buggies, on road cars and trucks.
Here's a pic of what the original box would have looked like(which I don't have)

Here's an ad I found on you tube for this truck, @:58 sec
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrcdKSPC7XI
I also happened to be on the web searching for more info on older desert trucks and I came across Kyosho's inspiration for this truck. Seems like it's a pretty close replica to Robby Gordon's desert truck from 1989. Here's a pic I found off the web, not to much info out there about it though.

So I found a roller on ebay for a reasonable price and this is what I got to start the project with:

It was pretty dirty but seemed to be pretty complete. So I stripped it down completely and gave it a good cleaning. To my surprise it looked like it was only used a few times and then put up. Here's what it came out like after a good cleaning and reassembly.


I found that Team Blue Groove makes repro bodies for the Outlaw Ultima/Rampage so I ordered one up.


Trying on a set of HPI wheels and some shock covers I was saving.



I also found a company on ebay the makes repo Outlaw Rampage stickers which are almost identical except for a few minor color differences. Here's where I'm at now after painting the body and applying some of the decals.

Looking good.
I had a Kyosho Ultima II, which was the same suspension, chassis, and drivetrain.
At one point in time, Kyosho made a trans upgrade, that utilized the Triumph or Triumph II belt drive transmission.
I installed one on my Ultima and it was a HUGE improvement. Slipper clutch and bolted right in place.

My Ultima II used to keep up with the RC-10 Gold Pans, after some Kyosho Gold shocks and a cheater 240ST motor that had the comm clocked. But I don't know anything about that.
Keep the pics coming.

had one when I was younger, fun little truck. Nice score, it looks pretty new and the paint jobs a killer.

I applied some more decals and found a set of wheels and tires to run.

I believe those are RPM Revolvers... Strong, light, and inexpensive - they do not make beadlocks however. Glue-on only.
