Up for sale is a Kyosho Ultima or Turbo Ultima off-road buggy. The original body is gone so I can’t be sure. But, it does come with the stiffer and thicker chassis of the Turbo version. It comes with a brand new ESC (brand unknown), a Futaba 27Mhz receiver and steering servo. The pistol-grip transmitter is a HPI unit and is fully compatible with Futaba. I’ve tested it and everything works. You do need a 7.2v battery though. The motor is a standard 540 sized motor. The shock towers are standard Turbo Ultima FRP pieces. The oil-damped shocks are aftermarket. The wheels are correct for an Ultima and it is currently running Proline tires front (knobby) & rear (waffle). The rears are driven by universals versus just dogbones. It is used but in good shape. I’ve tried to take many high-resolution photos to help with your purchasing decision. Kyosho re-used the original mechanics from the first Ultima in a lot of different vehicles. They ranged from 2WD buggies, to off-road trucks to even on-road race cars. Give them credit, it was a fast and cheap way to manufacture a range of vehicles without having to redesign the fundamental chassis. As such, you’ll see a lot of common parts in vehicles which Kyosho made back in the 90s. This is probably a good buggy for someone to run and re-live some of their childhood memories of the Ultima without having to worry about damaging a mint Shelf Queen car. Alternatively, it’s a good starting point for someone wanting to restore one to factory original. Please reach out if you have any questions about this vehicle.
