Jason Fireace. Thank you for the donation chassis plus the spare odds and ends.
Keith from RC ICONS for the new original decal sheet and the spiked front tyres,
Marwan for the lexan body and wing.
Sean for his amazing generosity of his time and skills repairing the old Kyosho esc.

If you're reading this then I just wanted to thank you the viewer for sharing in the journey as I do my best to build, film and edit the projects I get through.
Thank you to all. - Спорт
Talk about Ultima Pro! Jason you are a pro! Love the way you take these cars right back to their full vintage glory!
What a looker that thing is!
Thank you very much MB. This hobby really has come leaps and bounds with social media and UA-cam affording us a place to build and share and communicate with one another. I'm really glad to have come this far and for the support I receive from each and every last person out there.
@Bormac073 Yep Jason after the golden era had all but gone little did we know we would be this involved again in this once again thriving awesome hobby!
It looks fantastic and knew it would! It is a great example of one and looks like it came straight from an article from a RC magazine back in the day!
Hi Adam and thank you. We all get so into these old beauties and it's an honour to have good friends who can see where I am going with the channel. Whilst I choose not to monetise, it certainly is kind of those who reach out and care enough to give me a helping hand on occassion.
Great to see it done. Looks awesome! One of my favorites from the Ultima family family for sure.
I couldn't have gotten this far without you Keith. As always I really appreciate our ongoing friendship and enjoy that we each contribute in a space that continue to build the enthusiasm for this hobby. Thank you again.
You don't waffle, you have RC history lesson on your channel. All should listen!! Awesome job 👏 and your running videos are number 1. We will see if Keith's new track and Glenn going to his new track this spring/summer compares to Australia 🇦🇺 old school. I hope it dose and can't wait for more from the RC community.
That's kind of you to say Darris. Thankyou. Im always learning about video production and editing and hoping the content will be relatable to the audience. I appreciate your positive feedback.
Whoa, now thats a cool buggy. I do hope to one day get my hands on one of these one day. It was really nice that a few people helped out. Enjoy the buggy and thanks for the video.
Thank you Ari. I have the better part of 3 Pro XL cars plus a selection of spares I will sell off soon.
Your Kyosho Ultima Pro looks beautiful. Great work as always.👍
Thank you Luke. There are those of us out there such as you and I who appreciate all the older cars and the Pro XL for me is the go to for me when I think of racing an older Kyosho 2WD. Thank you for taking the time to write me.
Can’t tell you enough how glad I am that you’re doing your thing and letting us watch Jason you’re the man! That sounded kinky but I didn’t mean for it to 😄
Kyosho Ultima Pro 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Wade. You're a great contributor yourself. Getting over that wire mesh fence into those sporting fields you film in would take a certain level of danger... LOL! It's great to share this space with friends such as you.
Great looking Ultima! Very nice restoration. Love the Pulsar radio.
Thank you for taking the time to view and leave me a comment. Ive had that PULSAR radio set for the longest of time and really happy about it going into this project.
Yes. this is what I was waiting for. I consider this the best of the Ultimas. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jaicen. The PRO XL is for me my favourite 2WD Kyosho buggy.
Just glad to have some kind and generous friends out there who appreciate the efforts I make with the content I create.
Awesome video! It looks absolutely stunning and what amazing addition to the collection!! 👍👍
Thank you and Im very greatful for the help I have received on this one. I appreciate you taking the time to view and write me.
Great one Jason to show our passion
We are all amongst friends here 😎😎😎
This is what its all about, very cool.
Thank you. I am glad people find some entertainment or value in the content I create.
Brought one of these new when i was 16, my favourite 😊 raced it.
You were one of the lucky ones then. Such a fantastic car.
Hi Jason. Just watched both parts again. I really want a pro XL in the collection. Damn it!😂
Looking forward to your next video
Cheers John
Thank you John. Hit me up on fb messenger under Bor Mac.
@@Bormac073 done 👌
Its a gem mate. Well done
Awesome, that came together nicely! Big thumbs up to Jason, Sean, Keith and the others who helped out 👍. That's lookin very sexual indeed! 😍👍
Thank you Mick. That being said, I recall seeing your Kyosho builds and you're a master of the craft. It's good to see this one happen and come together.
@@Bormac073 No probs mate, looks awesome! Thanks mate! 👍
Love this type of videos/content!
Thats great to hear MV. It's taken me a while to find a format that works in my own mind and to have people view and leave a comment is well worth my effort. Thank you.
That’s a lovely car mate
Thank you MonkeyZX9
Morning Jason
That pro looks so good . I really want one😂 . Love the box art 👌
Love how everyone pulled together to get this done . brilliant
Cheers John
I am still blown away by the help that's come in on this project. Thank you for taking the time to view and leave me a comment.
Man that looks so cool box art, im warming up to the ultima’s now. I would love to add an original to my collection, but after seeing this. I think i need a pro 😎
Hi Richard. On my quest over the longest time I have sourced enough bits and ended up with the better part of 5 cars. However, this has taken me a long time. I will let at least one of them go.
@@Bormac073 i would love to say i’ll buy one, but over spent the last 3 months 😂 totaly worth it mind 😎 but i need to move a few cars on so may see if your up for letting one go when i have the funds 👍
Looks awesome.
Thanks Jason. I know you and Keith help one another out often also. It's great seeing our little community help each other.
Looks awesome👌😃
The box art really pops. Thank you for writing me.
That’s a beauty
Thank you Martin. Kyosho really got the Ultima series down pat by the time they got to the XL. Love this model.
Great video and buggy, I never had a Kyosho, only Tamiya but I’m getting very interested! No ads either!
Thank you for the feedback Jason. It's great to get someone to let me know the channel is free of ads.
@@Bormac073 no worries, I always skip through them whenever possible. I hadn’t thought about it until you mentioned it. Just assumed they put them in there for all videos. I need to see if they are in mine now!
@@jason.bochniak the ads are my sole reason I dont monetise. There's a bit of a sting to it as I have invested a lot in creating what production quality I have in cameras, audio gear, lighting, computer with upgrades, all the subscription services and all the other bits n bobs, but Im in it for all the right reasons.
@@Bormac073 I get it, you can see how much effort you go to and that it’s your passion which is what makes for great interesting content. I found you through Keith, he also gifted me a set of decals for my MK1 Ranger and shared my Sand Scorcher paint video. I didn’t know this great community existed until I got back into the hobby during Covid then started looking on UA-cam for tips and to learn. It’s so addictive, I love it!
Nice Ultima! I have a Turbo Ultima which I've (probably sacrilege) put an OG Ultima body and rollcage on. The body on the Turbo looks ok, but I was never going to find the wing and mounting wire anywhere (I looked a bit).
Honestly, I'm surprise those NiCad cells still worked. Were you one of those folk who bought matched cells and put them together as packs?
Thank you Pablo. The Pro XL just ticks all the right boxes for me and I have owned the Turbo back in the day when it was the latest Ultima out there. Along with creating the True Vintage R/C FB page I also created the 'Vintage R/C Electronics' page too. I have soldered up many a sub c battery in my time.
@@Bormac073 Nice, it was a little bit of a sly dig, but when I got back into the hobby, people were still getting matched cells but Nimh instead of NiCad. LiPo's were just coming into it.
This might be a dumb question but would the Ultima Pro body sit reasonably well on the recently released JJ Ultima?
I can't see why it wouldn't be a perfect fit.
You're crazy for having the ESC wires that go to the receiver route in between the battery straps that are essentially acting like graphite wire cutters in your configuration. This is unacceptable even for a shelf queen.
Thanks for the heads up tool-bag
You think they will bring it back?
Wouldn't it be awesome if Kyosho would!!! Bring it on Kyosho
@@Bormac073 they need to there is big market in vintage RC and more companies are doing it.
