Ultima '87 JJ World Championship Replica 1/10 Scale 2WD Off-Road Buggy - KIT from Kyosho - KYO30642

Version Info: This buggy is a KIT, and as such will require electronics, paint and other equipment (see Requires below for details).

American Joel Johnson won his first 2WD class world title at the 2nd Electric Off-Road World Championship in England in 1987 driving a modified Kyosho ULTIMA. Also, TQ’ed this event and finished 1st and 2nd and 3rd.This became known as the ‘JJ Spec’ and was popular with its custom suspension, main chassis and front-rear shock stays that enhanced performance and styling. Only third-party conversion kits were available at the time and even then, it was extremely difficult to completely reproduce the JJ specifications. Now the ‘JJ Spec’ is honored as the 13th model in the Vintage Series to commemorate Kyosho’s 60th anniversary.

Original Body Equipped with the same body used on the Tomahawk 2WD buggy, just like the original. Silver and pink stripe decals with a variety of logos recreate the signature color scheme of the Joel Johnson Spec. Side mirrors from the original have also been recreated.

FRP Shocks FRP shock stays flexibly absorb impact from the shock units and follow the original design in shape and color. Standard gold shocks combine with newly developed medium soft (MS) front springs.

Modern Servo Compatibility In place of the mini steering servo that was fixed with double-sided tape, the modern version of the ULTIMA uses a servo mount compatible with modern low-profile servos that are popular today. The shape of the servo saver arm has also been changed.

Improved Clearance and Handling The front skid on the carbon chassis improves clearance over surface gaps while front caster angle setting optimizes handling characteristics.

Exclusive Motor Guard Gunmetal anodized aluminum motor guard is laser-printed with the Kyosho 60th anniversary logo, which is exclusive to the special limited-edition model.

Original JJ Specifications Polycarbonate rear wing and side plates have been recreated as per the original JJ specifications. The large side plates deliver improved stability to fully recreate the style and drive feeling of the original.
