Red Ultima RB5

Post by emerson_shih »

I like to share a new design for Ultima RB5. This is a solution for the player who feel the RB5 is too fancy. Then he can convert his RB5 into vintage style.
But I'm not sure if it gives any help for peformance improving. :oops:
How do you think? Will this kit attract you?

The body is very cool, the other parts are nicely done but not my cup of tea

This is awesome! But, I wouldn't consider it unless replacement parts cost less than the stock ones in case of breakage.

Hmm~ It looks like this is not a good idea to convert existing buggy. :oops:

Honestly, it seems like 6 or 7 steps backwards to me. The RB5 is a fantastic car—I don't know why you would want to make it look and behave like a 25 year old Ulitma. :? Seems counter-productive.

When we discuss about reproduce red Ultima conversion kit, we heard some people said they don't have vintage Ultima to do the conversion. So we think if we can work out the Red Ultima base on existing model just like RB5, then people may consider it. This is the story why we choose the buggy :oops: .

I like it. But, I'd want a used RB5 - otherwise it would be so expensive and I wouldn't like downgrading a new car.
