Re: Restoring my first R/C - 1989 Kyosho Turbo Ultima

Which gear(s) do you need specifically? Only the one which meshes with the pinion on the motor? Or everything in the UM-1 package?

All else being equal, toe-out in the rear would make the car more loose.

Re: When Kyosho RE-REs the Ultima, I Hope...

I'm running one and I think it helps, but I'm also running a square tire set-up and a decent amount of toe-out in front. I got a really good deal on it on the 'bay.

$17.95 in 1988 is equivalent to $37 today, adjusting for inflation. OUCH.

I Found My Old RCCA Magazines In My Parent's Basement

I think this is every issue from '90 to '93. After that I guess I discovered girls or something...
The ads are almost better than the articles.

When Kyosho RE-REs the Ultima, I Hope...

...That they incorporate adjustable rear toe. I suppose they will, since they did it on the Optima. But with the Ultima, I figure they have two options. They can do it like they did on the Optima, with those inserts, or they can add a gizmo like the Robinson Racing rear toe adjust: http://www.mcdona...

Re: What motor/ESC combo for re-re's?

I wish they offered these things un-anodized. It sucks to have to live with a bright blue or orange motor can hanging out the back of your buggy if your particular chosen color scheme doesn't jibe with it. (I realize most modern cars have mid-mounted motors hidden by the body, but still...)

Re: Kyosho Turbo Scorpion 2016

Does this mean that future turbo Optimas and Ultimas are going to be brushless as well??

Re: Optima is back!!

Why are foam inserts included for the rear tires only (according to the Kyosho UK site)?

Re: Optima is back!!

I wonder if it will have two different sets of tires - vintage & modern.
