Re: My Maxxum FF

I almost had a new Maxxum FF years ago but wasn't able to get it. We were on our way up to get it and it was snowy out and ended up in an accident. My Maxxum money went for the towing bill. That made me mad. I've had money to get another one but i guess i lost interest in it and never got one.

Re: ultima proto-type pic?

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

Re: Best off road?

If I had $1500 I would buy a NIB Kyosho Ultima Pro and build it and put it on a shelf. :lol: But that's just me. Then I'd probably buy a cheap (real) used car. :D

Re: zaboon : baboon or jewel in the mud?

For having a funny name this car looks pretty cool. The only thing I don't like (and this goes for any rc vehicle designed like this) is where the motor is located. I had a Redcat Blackout SC with the same setup design and it was hard to adjust the motor because of the lack of space between the susp...

Re: Great Information on the Winning Ultimas Back in 1987

I think the '87 win would've meant more if the winning Ultima would've had mostly stock/original parts (minus the battery, motor and esc, etc). It depends on how many Ultimas were racing compared to other cars. They probably had more Ultimas racing at that race and kind of overtook the race and prob...

Re: Kyosho's I've Owned

Can't see the pics anymore but i also had a Raider at one time. I also had an Ultima Pro (first high end car), Ultima Pro XL and I think that's it (at least from what I remember). Oh and an Ultima II.

Re: Optima mid vs Lazer?

I know, old post. But I prefer the Lazer just because they seem like a nicer car overall.

Re: Kyosho Ultima II

Regarding the underneath of your car. Kelron (what the chassis is made of) is fairly hard to scratch (kinda of slippery feeling too) yet is pretty flexible. it would take alot more of a beating than say an aluminum or graphite chassis before it showed any signs of wear. (at least imo)

Re: Kyosho Triumph Truck

You would think that those huge tires would be hard on the belt system. I personally would change it back to a car. As a truck it looks like all the others but as a car it looks like a Triumph. :lol:

Re: Race modded Scorpion rebuild

When I was younger, a friend of mine had a Scorpion. At the time I didn't know who made it nor did I care because it just didn't appeal to me. Anyways, he ended up tearing it apart and i don't think it was ever put back together and basically got trashed. Kinda wished I would've known back then.

Re: Scorpion Ultima Style

If Kyosho would've re-released this car (and the rest) looking like that I wouldn't mind buying one. The red shocks are the deal breaker for me.

I dislike those red shocks very much. That's probably why I don't have the urge to go out and buy any of the re-releases from Kyosho. They just seem like cheap toy shocks to me.
