Sheesh, another awesome car. I've lost count.

I like the added large wing side dams on your cars. What's your inspiration here; was this something Johnson did bitd

having searched in the internet for a long time........... really difficult to get more info about Joel Johnson's Ultima ........ :(

recently got a better picture from yahoo.jp ............together with Masami's Cat XL......... :)

hope you all...

Believe so, think I've seen him on the podium at some Nitro on road races on RedRC. 1/8 maybe???
Think he is also President of Kyosho America.

Edit: Did a quick search, I guess winning a ROAR title a couple of years ago counts as a podium. :wink:...

hello Erik,

The only picture I have is the one that's from the website (rear of the car). That's the car he used in the 89 off road nationals. The picture was published in the December 89 issue of RCCA.
