My Kyosho cars

Recommended Posts

Hello, first of all since this will be my first post I'll like to start saying what a great forum this is. I started in RC back in the 80’s with a Kyosho Icarus which I had lots of fun running it.

Here are my cars;
My Ultimas

The first one is complete factory spec.

UM-28 Rear Motor Guard
W-5061 Universal Swing Shaft
OT 76 Hard Final Pinion
W-5032 Tires
Gold Shocks
A&L Ball Bearing Steering Kit upgrade
Bearings
Epic 1 Designs Chassis Armor (to protect it against scratches)

Castle Creations Sidewinder 3, Airtronics RX-371 waterproof receiver, Kyosho G20 brushed motor, Onyx 7.2V 5000Mah NiMh y and a Hitec HS-5625MG

Great fan of the ultima also,it was my first successful 2wd race car!

I planned on doing the same,a factory spec and a modified. I've kept the factory,but sold the others due to lack of time really.

Here's one from the late 80's!

I see an Ultima and a Falcon! What's that one the little fella in the "Hornet" t-shirt is inspecting... a Madcap?
