Kyosho Dirt Master Ultima SB

[Elkcycles]

Looks like a classic buggy body is back! RB5 based, rear motor, and with a gear differential, this buggy should be a blast!

Thank God! I hope so anyway.

Looks good - I like it.

Has anyone ordered one or plan to order one?

The release date has been pushed back to June, although RCMart has the body in stock.

Best looking new release in ages.

Has anyone ordered one or plan to order one?

Well, let's see. Is there anything new here? No, nothing new; it's basically just a B4 knock-off.
That said, I think it looks very good, I enjoy building kits and I really enjoy running a buggy that looks like a proper buggy not some ugly insect.
Yes, I definitely plan to order when they're available and I hope they sell quickly. The same applies to the BBX and hopefully their success will tell manufacturers that there's still a market for kit buggies with classic styling.

So what you're saying is it’s a knock off of a knock off of a losi xxx.

I’ve had 1 of these kits in my hands through our local Nz kyosho importer and they are a very nice piece of kit for the money. A few clubs over here are looking at starting rear mount cab back classes for these and the associated offerings.

Only thing I wasn’t so sure on was the threaded plastic shock bodies.

I'd like to order a body set. I have an NIB RB5 in my closet and this body would be perfect for getting a hopped-up Dirt Master.

I know nothing about Losi buggies so you could be right.

One thing I do know is that Kyosho makes very high quality RCs. I have a lot of RC models and some of them are junk but none of those were made by Kyosho. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the plastic shocks - I reckon they will hold-up just fine.
