About this deal

Yes, indeed, I saw the same with the Turbo Scorpion and the Javelin. If you have something left, it is because you forgot it during the mount, or that they was a choice within the mount that justifies it. First spin in my living room and I'm blown away.....drives in a straight line, just like on rails. No adjustment required apart from the rear spring spanner. From what I can see, the Ultima (far from being my favorite in the Legendary series) is having some common elements with the Optima chassis class... And this probably also one of the reasons I didn't put it on my list of must have: when I was teenager, I dreamed about the Turbo Scorpion and about Optima/Javelin. I never dreamt about the Ultima, probably because there was the Optima... The car was driven by the Norwegian Eivind Loyd Pettersen, at the time the owner of the Norwegian Serpent, Basilisk, Tomo, CRP, Thorpe, Mirage, JG and Associated distributor. Jay Halsey came in a very close second with his RC10. So though the Scorpion was outdated at the time the RC10 was released, it still had a chance in the hands of talented mechanics and drivers for some time. Optimized geometry with aluminum steering link and metal bushings in combination with the servo saver incorporating aluminum pipe and metal spring design used in current racing buggies, delivers stable and precise steering feel. Upgrade with optional ball bearings and titanium adjust rod 50mm (No.92416).

The motor is a fully rebuild Trinity Horsepower 1987 World Champions with 13x2 turns and amazing 38.000rpm.Plan is to use Kyosho's Le Mans 240S 15.5T 4WD brushless motor and Kyosho's 60 amp ESC, a combo I am already using in a re-release Javelin and a Turbo Scorpion. The Turbo Scorpion has a top speed of over 37mph (60km/h) on 3S Lipo. In wet weather on 2S, it provides a top speed of about 25mph (40km/h). Both re-release buggies are fitted with front and rear sway bars, providing improved cornering. it is just the internal parts to build the re release trans right??? I am not trying to be a pain about this just clarification please Soft front and rear tires are included for racing performance. Inner sponges are also built into the front tires and deliver powerful grip and control. i do not or will not race the Ultima or my Optima just to go out and play a little bit the motors I have are brushed motors and are old but still work they have all been rebuilt many times! From what i have read between brushed and brushless the brushless motors

Yes I know they are old but both are in good shape! I found the trunk they were stored in for years after cleaning out the shop after the Beachi creek forest fire he in oregon. So i got to thinking about updating both of them???

In addition to the standard type included in the kit, more modern 2.2-inch standard wheels can also be installed. Actually, the word on those were that they worked like crap and didn't last long before the gear got chewed up. I don't think you'll find a single positive review of those clutch bells. Newly designed front wheel shaft with kingpin offset delivers improved straight line running stability as well as controlled initial steering response. Gear module has been changed to 48-pitch from the original model’s 8-pitch to deliver reduced drive loss. In addition to the newly designed 46 nylon 57T 1st gear, all other gears are upgraded to the sintered metal gears from the OPTIMA. Upgrade with optional diff OTW101 to improve driving feel. While based on the original model, each part has been enhanced and modernized to meet the requirements of the latest RC systems & power sources.
