I have one. There are a few others that have them too. Nice cars. I used to race mine stock BITD. Fantastic shocks too.

Nice buggy, looks a lot like a B3 though.

I bought this car off ebay not too long ago for cheap. Came in really good shape considering. Cleaned her up, replaced the rear shock tower, main chassis, rear chassis plate, front bumper, rear motor guard, and put a new set of wheels on her. Threw...

Nice one! I have one too and I think it got overlooked as a pretty decent racer. Pretty solid as the only things I ever busted were the spur gear and a front shock tower. I really wish I had replaced the front tower with the carbon fiber unit,...

Does anyone have one of these? If so post some pics. It looks almost like a B3.

Sorry to bump and old thread, but i just now saw the comment about the chassis being too long. I have a fix for it if someone still has these cars. I have released an 3D printable chassis with two versions. First one is stock length and second is...

I'm looking for info on this infamous car. Been racing for 25 years and just this year went to Kyosho and I love the RB5wc/sp and recently picked up a used original TypeR and would appreciate hearing from any fellow fans.
thanks

after looking at more pics that it is the stock hardware and even though I don't like it (didn't like em when I had ultimas and optimas either) I'll leave it stock and just replace a couple that look incorrect. Plenty of ti and alu bits in the...

I saw this on Ebay and it was done nicely and since I'm into gas I thought it might make a nice addition.

Whoever had it once had a motor in it but the ball diff kept getting loose by just spinning the opposite tire I found 9 tiny diff balls,...

I found this picture in the February issue of 1987 of RCCA:

It looks like the front shock tower is missing and a bit of mono-shock showing?

For the lovers: there 's another proto-type picture on the forum. It was posted by...

I'm glad they went with the stand up shocks. I hate the mono shock look.

My Kyosho EP Ultima RB Type-R, last time I ran it at OCRC was back around 2010-2012. I originally bought it back in Dallas, TX somewhere between 2001-2002. It currently has a Trinity P2K Pro 27T Stock brushed motor with a 22T pinion, some off brand...

Very nice car! 8)
I've only recently discovered the RB type R and was struck by how much it resembles a B3.
I've always thought of Kyosho as an innovator but they seemed to have copied a competitor's design in this instance.
That said, the RB is a...

About a month ago I received an EP Ultima ST Racing Sports in a lot (see attached pics), which was in somewhat better state than the auction showed (i.e. the transmission was actually included). On top of that it included some other bits and some...

Necro'ing my own thread massively here, but I got my hands on a Kyosho catalogue for 2004, which shows that the Ultima Type-R Evolution buggy was still being sold in 2004, with all option parts used in my build except for the Evo II body available...

Hey all. I thought to dedicate an own topic for this car.

I started to model some parts to my ST GP some time ago and the things just went out of control when i win a bid on BNIB Ultima ST Type-R EP. Before assembling it, i recreated all the Type-R...

The shocks are still amazing me. Its been over 10 battery cycles in under zero c temps -> no leaks, no failures. I was 99% sure that these would like because of the worn up shock shafts, but no. Maybe the X-Seals are just so amazing, and actually,...
