I must anodise all the rear alloy parts like the brown motor guard...

OK, looking at what crappy pics I have available to me, the worlds winning Ultima driven by J.Johnson is running a tomahawk body. The graphics, as far as I can tell, appear to be a mere silver and pink stripe angling forward from the bottom of the...

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:...

compatibility among all the old towers is good, they will bolt right up. The PAP have by far the most adjustability.

I've found plenty on his 1987 World's car but can't find anything on the car here he used in 1989. Is there a thread or info?

I clearly see Losi wheels, custom shock towers, looks like custom A-arms, not sure if those are Triumph or Pro XL etc..?...

RCH is a 3.rd party hop-up company.

Curious what you mean by RCH is a 3rd party hop up company?

He means a company that makes or made aftermarket parts ie rpm factory works etc

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.
