Default PARTS INTERCHANGEABLE?

I'm looking for parts that will fit my Ultra MBX RTR....yup its the old one...the first one. I can't find original replacement parts anywhere so i'm wondering,
what from the rest of the Ultra buggy line will fit. Anybody know? I'm really in need of a front shock tower, but if i can find anything that fits i would like to go ahead
and stock up on as much as possible now. Thanks for anyhelp!

Im not expert but it looks like alot of the basic parts are interchangable. I did find this site that seems to stock quite a few. I hope this is the parts your looking for.

Idk I picked up a used Ofna Ultra LX Comp and there isn't much compatible with the new Ultra LX One from the looks of it. Haven't found much in the way of hop ups either. Its nice I'm an engineering student and have full access to a fairly nice machine shop and free T6061 aluminum scraps.[8D]

I would imagine if you contacted Ofna they have left over parts. I've noticed that not many places carry Ofna parts, I don't think my LHS even has Ofna Parts, lot of Losi and HPI.

hey there... all of the ultra mbx/lx oneparts are interchangeable, I have a franken ofna buggy that I built out of a violator, an mbx, and an lx one.

MBXchassis and upperdeck and center diff
LX Onearms and steering f/r diffs
Violator motor mounts and wing brace

it is hard to see but in the last pictures outside, you can see the slightly different shades of blue aluminum, the lighter blue is MBX parts, the darker is Ultra parts. they will all work together, with the excepton of the front brace setup, it has to be from the MBX, and not from an lx. that was thoe only main difference I found was tthe placement of the front brace, and the LX chassis has some additional holes drilled into the bottom.

what parts do you need? I have a ton of spares, and even some aluminums ones.

Also I would recommend swapping the MBX arms to the Ultra LX one arms and steering knuckles. Ihave all the parts to do it if you are interested.

Ialso have a crapload of new ofna parts that I have no idea what I am going to do with. if you can find a part number let me know it. Also if you happen to decide to stay with the MBX setup I do have a spare set of the plastic steering knuckles however I highly recommend just changing out your a-arms and getting the aluminum knuickles for the LX one.

PM me if you need more info, or want more pics.

you know looking at that setup, it looks like a second gen MBX, or maybe a first gen LX. the old MBXhad delrin steering knuckles and ball ends. you should be totally good with those parts I am selling you. they are from a newewr generation LXOne and thicker aluminum than the ones you currently have I think...

this is what i'm working with....
Thats an old Ultra GT LX... You can get any and everything you need for that at Nitrohouse.com (#1 source for anything Ofna) if you have the updated 5 digit part#.

I have an Ultra GT LX Manual with all the "updated" part numbers and a list of optional upgrades. If you cover the S&H (couple bucks), I'll be glad to make you a copy..
