I know there was a post about the Ultima DB before, but I had a new thought about this car. I like the idea of the roll cage car, and the non-spaceship body, but the DB just doesn't look quite right to me. I think it's due to the RT5 wide suspension, long chassis, and SC tire wheel combo. Anyone, tried mating the RB5 suspension, chassis, and wheels/tires to the DB cage and body? I think it'd be pretty cool....


(I posted this idea on my blog this morning, but things don't get that much attention over there.)

I think it's weird they based this buggy off the short course truck instead of the rb5. Although 1:1 desert buggy's have a lot of travel like the trucks do. The cool thing about the Kyosho db is that by changing body mounts you can go from a short course truck to a buggy in minutes.
