Well after taking a look at the RB5 exploded parts diagram, I found the kingpin shaft and the retaining screw part numbers, I ordered them from kyoshoamerica.com.
RB5 Front king pin shaft -LA228 RB5 Front Kingpin shaft retaing screw -1369 (pack of 10 2.5x5 button head screws) I also ordered the servo saver set for the original ultima as it was only $4. They didn't have very many parts for the Ultima. Ultima Servo saver kit -UM14 This is probably it for now, will wait till next paycheck probably, unless the wife don't look lol.

There's a company called Kimbourgh that makes top of the line servo savers.
If that's all you need is just the piece that goes on the servo.

Well, got to dads house and dug out my ultima from storage. I have test fitted the knuckle carriers, I haven't got the king pins yet, still in the mail. I used the shim that comes with the knuckle set for fitting to the ultima arm, but it needs different shims because it don't take up all the slack. So I went to the LSH and bought some kyosho shim set, and some E clips to replace the missing and bent ones. I will post more pics about the shims later as they are packed away for the move. Here are some pics of my test fit. Keep in mind that the car is going to be completely torn to pieces and cleaned before reassembly.
You can see I had cut the top plate when I was younger so now it needs replacement. Also where do I find the shock bottoms that thread on to the shaft that mounts to the control arm.

Here is a slipper that I have had since I got the car, is this a Option House part?
Anyone know where I can get a new gear cover? Nasty inside there, does that even look like its all there? I think it is except for one set screw. Anyone know where I can get a new shock end? I need to get some good degreaser to clean the slipper and clean out the old shock oil from the shocks. Question about the diff and shocks. Should I just run these ones? Or is there better alternatives? Should I just run these for now since they will work after I rebuild them and upgrade later? Also will these shocks work with the JG shock towers? From what I can tell the JG were for the longer shocks? Still waiting on the pins to mount the knuckles, ahhh I hate waiting for mail lol.

The slipper is built on the pinion, well that's a first never seen
anything like that before. If I was you Id go ahead and re-build those shocks and re-use them, at least keep some parts on the car original.

I got some of my parts today, but still waiting on the king pins to get forwarded to my new address
The steering kit is aluminum and looks like it is pretty nice quality. The upper deck is nice quality as well. Here is a bunch on pics of the parts, and some close ups. Not sure how I am going to install the steering kit, I know it will work, but I will have to source a servo saver I think, and make a draglink of some sort, any ideas? I think I may swap the bearing out for rubber sealed ones too. Heres the pics:

Ok, I have the diff cleaned, I used some AE stealth diff grease inside there (clear stuff), I didn't fill it, but put about lil more then half full, is this good? I will run the rest of the tranny dry.
I know there are bearing that go on there before those cups, I am waiting for the bearings, and am trying to keep the stuff together for now.

Got my tower order today!!!!!! Very happy about that, here are some of the other pics as promised as well.
The sanding block is for my boat stuff, I make my own boats out of wood. Here are some various pics of the stuff I got. Still waiting for the people to forward my kingpins from my last address. I think I will start installing this stuff on to my chassis that I have as I have not found a new one yet, I am getting a lot of parts here and I don't want to loose any so I will start assembling it and when I find the parts I need I will swap them out, but I have a nice amount of new stuff now to work with, my only gripe is using the old worn out screws I have, I will post pics of some later to show you what I am talking about.

Ok, here is a whole bunch more pics. Don't worry I will be replacing some of the parts I put back on the car, its just I had sooo many parts on my desk, and so much room, this will make it easier for me to build as I can get rid of all the parts that are being replaced and make my work area neater.
After putting it together, I found that the quality of the ST15 parts are not nearly as quality as the kyosho parts. The rear arms and bearing carriers are just fine, but the front bulk head is horrible, I will take you guys up on getting the stock one, the hinge pins didn't really fit because the parts were warped and I don't have a hinge pin reamer, so I put the hinge pin in a dremel and spun it in there to free it up and it worked ok, but I am not satisfied, and I had to drill out the top deck holes on the bulkhead because they were too small, but the 2 peice design sort of looks cool on there. I may have just got a bad casting. Of course I need to get adjustible turnbuckles. I'm not sure what the parts that came with the servo mounts are for. The rhino steering looks like it will work great! I need to put a washer on top of the posts because there is a gap between them and the top deck, and I need to get a draglink. The rear cvds look like they will work awesome!!! The only thing I don't like about the JG deck is that they didn't drill holes for a front sway bar and for a body mount. I need to find a new chassis, because I cut into it as a kid, but I just shined it and the shock towers up for now. I really like how it is turning out, I just need a few more parts and it will be mostly complete. Does anyone know where I can find a body cage and the part that mounts to the rear shock tower and the motor mount that the body hinges on? I may be able to salvage the body cage. Sorry if I seem to be typing in random bursts, I am tired its midnight here. Here are some pics:
