Kyosho Ultima?

BTW, If the #prize# part was eliminated you would be open to everyone too, and more momentum on the thread. Just an idea- (8rad, yours are still here)

Its actually kind of funny how some things they did better (shock cap diaphragms, big bumper, adjustable tie rods) yet so many things held it back (one piece trans case and susp mounts, heavy, bendy aluminum). It was never a real competitor but it could have been if they had realized what made the Rc10 such a competitor and followed that.

When I got it the body was painted black and flaking. I literally peeled it all off. Its getting some white and the cage dyed black to match the pics. Still got the decals too. The body is cracked in a few places and of course around the rear body mount. Waiting for someone to send one to blue groove!

The RULE revisions (this one only)

New #3: I don't care where you live. Oversees is fine. Just don't have an Orange screen name.

Acceptable Answer Revision: I know a Grasshopper II should qualify as a Grasshopper, but their bodies look too different under foil imo. I reserve the right to require a specific model (via pm) if your guess is close but not exactly there.

THE RULES

1. HAVE FUN

2. as above...

I have one in mind but not sure how you guys would feel. Its "hobby grade" but think like a monogram lightning or mrc road winner- do we want to avoid stuff like that?
