I think the a team drivers used the proto, and the rest used standard or modded cars like this. I think someone did run a proto version of this at the worlds but cant for the life of me remember who.

I have the TOP Hybrid, full white car and a Hybrid body that TOP models made specifically for the kit. Mine is believed to be the magazine review car below.

Also have a full black RPM ultramold car with a Turbo Mirage body

Yes Daz,

Think postage put off some maybe £80.00 on top plus Black. For me anyway.It may not of put everyone off being black, but I wanted white or maybe off white now but not dyed. You could pay double that nearly for a white one.....

Default Its Here !!!!

So today I have taken delivery of the RPM ULTRA MOLD RC10.

Its a lot better than I thought. I have taken pictures so you can see the RPM ULTRA MOLD as I have received it.

The marks on the ULTRA MOLD on the servo area and battery strap was a slight concern when purchasing it. Was it deep scratches/grooves where the owner had tried to remove the double sided tape glue ?

So I have just spent over an hour cleaning the battery strap and at first wondered what it was. At first I thought it was glue from the double sided tape. Well it was, but !! thankfully the original owner had fitted cello tape on the strap first, then the double sided tape for speedo and receiver.

So once I had the cello tape removed, it was a case of removing the glue from the cello tape off the strap. Remember this is almost 24 yrs old glue It was almost like super glue.......

But !! its all off now and looking near mint. If the rest of the ULTRA MOLD goes as good as the battery strap, its gonna be HAPPY DAYS !!!!

Delivery Pics coming now......

Thank you Welshy.........

Well have managed to strip the RPM ULTRA complete now. I have been cleaning the parts and have to say its coming up like new. The hardest part is to clean the black grime from the hinge pin holes and get them like new. But have managed to do this.

The chassis has come out I feel almost like new. All the glue marks gone.

I will post pics of the cleaned up parts shortly for all to see......

Oh and my pet hate !!! odd coloured wheels removed.......

Default Body ? Which One Fits !!

So from the first post. I was wondering which body would fit this. As all RC10 vipers, mirage and turbo mirage would fit but with gaps, I wanted a proper fit to the chassis without gaps.

So after some research and google searching. I only had to look on the back of the instructions....

It states !! ANY LOSI SE BODY !! So Dan the MAN you was right.....

Also a myth that has bothered me for years. Back in the day, it was said that ALL RPM products were guaranteed against breakage. I never actually seen this in any product I bought and I had the worlds front and rear on my RC10 TEAM CAR.

So were they or were they not !!

Well I can now put this myth of nearly 25yrs behind me.

YES !! RPM products were/are guaranteed against breakage. It states on the instruction sheet ALL PRODUCTS GAURANTEED AGAINST BREAKAGE. JUST SEND THE PART BACK IF IT BREAKS AND IT WILL BE REPLACED.

Awesome I say.... Wonder how many offer this today ???
