Kyosho 1/10 Off-Road Ultima Buggy Kit

Features: The ULTIMA has been faithfully recreated, with component upgrades for compatibility with modern power sources. The polycarbonate body with driver cockpit recreates the style and atmosphere of the original ULTIMA. It is equipped with full ball bearing specifications (14) and a battery guard that prevents battery short circuit during a crash.

Overview: The impact of the ULTIMA's dominant TQ & 1-2-3 finish in the 2WD class at the 2nd Electric Off Road World Championship in England in 1987 was felt across the RC car scene. Now, Kyosho's famous ULTIMA turns back the clock with its return as the 8th model in the Kyosho Vintage Series! First released in 1986, the 2WD ULTIMA channeled racing tech from the OPTIMA into an electric racing buggy whirlwind that swept across the world. Consistent with the Vintage Series, the 2019 ULTIMA version has evolved in design and build to satisfy performance standards for modern R/C racing circuits and power sources.

Chassis: The monocoque frame is made from aircraft-grade A60601T6 aluminum alloy, and the glass-reinforced upper deck provides a durable platform. The battery stay is compatible with all battery types and uses a hook and loop fastener for easy installation.

Drive: The ULTIMA features a rear-wheel drive configuration.

Gearbox: The gearbox is equipped with sintered metal gears, except for the first gear, which is made of nylon. The adjustable slipper clutch can be upgraded to an optional slipper pad when a higher-power motor is used.

Body: The molded polycarbonate body with a driver cockpit recreates the style and atmosphere of the original ULTIMA.

Rear Wing: The resin-constructed rear wing has two height settings and an adjustable angle between 3° and 6° with included shims. This feature enhances the car's performance on modern off-road tracks.

Performance Upgrades: The multi-pin block pattern rear tires deliver optimal performance on modern off-road tracks, while the full ball bearing specifications minimize drive loss. The high-durability sintered alloy metal gears, slipper clutch, and motor guard protect the drive system, and the crash-resistant resin rear wing provides additional protection.

Conclusion: The 2019 ULTIMA version has evolved to satisfy the performance standards of modern R/C racing, while still capturing the nostalgia of the original ULTIMA's glory. With its upgraded components and features, the ULTIMA is poised to let you drive like a world champion on today's racing circuits.
