Kyosho Ultima SC Short Course Truck (Official Video)

[MinelliRacing]

Hello. I have bought an Ultima Sc yesterday but I will test it only in the weekend.

What about durability!? I have heard negative opinions about this....

Thank you and sorry for my terrible english.

[SPRCVIDEO]

@austinkx9

No, it doesn't need it. During a crash, I would prefer such an inexpensive part break, especially one that's so easy to replace. Aluminum parts tend to make other parts break that are harder to replace. I personally like the aluminum pieces for this truck, but sometimes they can cause more hard than good. ;o)

[garethough]

how fast

[eeroku1]

One of these cars has antenna broken :)

[SPRCVIDEO]

@sundalo47

Yes. It's a direct fit with no modifications needed.

[WStreetfame]

I've got a question: Kyosho says it runs 60k, right? I guess it's with LiPo's.. So does anyone know how fast it goes with NiMH?

[SPRCVIDEO]

@WStreetfame

I would guess 50-55 kph?

[WStreetfame]

@SPRCVIDEO I bought one, a few days ago, put a 3300 NiMH in it, stock electronics, stock chassis, no upgrades, and i'd say it runs some about 40 or probably 45.. That car is so fun!

[SPRCVIDEO]

@WStreetfame

Thanks for the information. It's good to know that you're enjoying it.

[trxultimakx09]

great car, shocks need to be worked on a little though, they leak even after i put new o rings in them

[SPRCVIDEO]

@trxultimakx09

True, the original shocks didn't always have a good seal to the shock shaft. The seals are not meant to be replaced as they're fixed into the shock body. But, the replacement shock bodies aren't costly at all. Additionally, the standard shocks have been modified to improve the seal. Then there's the aluminum shocks - best in the business if you really want some smooth, precision, durable shocks, but that's another story... ;o)

[steves1335]

This is probably the best 2x4 you can get. Slash 4x4 seems to be more impressive though. I know Kyosho is a much better product. I have a slash 4x4 and a st-rr. The slash is awsome but it does have a lot of blow outs. The bearings suck all around.

[garagecrap]

The setup looks like the desert buggy one from what I can see in the vid. What's the max speed of those?

[dagks]

what is the name of the song in the beginning mate

[SPRCVIDEO]

@dagks

The first track is "Bang the Bass" by Wesley Devine

[dagks]

@SPRCVIDEO Ok, thanks and have a happy new year :-)

[filip500filip]

Can this do reverse

[SPRCVIDEO]

@filip500filip

Yes, the included electronic speed controller has fully proportional forward, brakes and reverse.

[Dogman36]

Is this 2wd or 4wd?

I'm totally starting a ORR series with all these short course trucks around my community.

[SPRCVIDEO]

@Dogman36

These are 2WD, which is far more popular than 4WD and much less costly.

[yotaman19912]

@SPRCVIDEO I've raced with plenty of 4x4s in lanc pa tracks.

[traxxasfan321]

can you buy those tires aftermarket, will they fit the slash plz reply

[SPRCVIDEO]

@traxxasfan321

Yes, the tires are available separately and they will fit any standard SC wheel.

[joaopintorodrigues]

price in €euros€?

[AnubisProductionable]

i got this Ultima SC

[TheColt1911]

this car runs 60 km/h right ? ^^ and how long can you drive with one NiMH battery ?

please answer :-)

[SPRCVIDEO]

@TheColt1911 We were using a 5000 mah battery and it ran for more than 30 minutes.

[dude7422]

wow it looks like this old school rc10

[exceedrc926]

o 7razorblade7 it will i got one its really quite and its fast stock!! the only downside is tires the lost there tred on pave ment and its really durable i got it wedged under a car so bad we hack to jack the car up

[7RazorBlade7]

have decided to get this hope its give me the fun i looking for

[jujutsu8]

This is so COOL!!!!

[axelskydd]

sooooooo niiiiiiiiiiiiicee!!!

[gtfour93]

What kind of wheels are the black ones? JConcepts Rulux maybe? I like the offset on them.

[SPRCVIDEO]

The black wheels are the same as the chrome one that are shown int he pictures. The production wheel is a satin chrome finish, so it's between the two that are shown here. The black wheels are available standard on the Ultima DB desert buggy, which you can see as my most recent video.

[13ig13oyz]

looks like a great truck, is it still good with the NiMH batteries? Also Whats the price on it? I might buy it to race in my backyard track (see one of my vids).

[SPRCVIDEO]

The included radio is 27 MHz - sometimes more reliable than 2.4 GHz, but it doesn't have the ability to choose it's own channel.

Yeah, we've had a few comments that the body could be better. The body mounts are positioned to accept any body that fits the Slash 2WD, so there are a lot of options.

[rcmark24]

Great video. Not crazy about the body but I'm sure the aftermarket bodies will fit.

[XtremeFingerBoards]

the radio it comes with is it 2.4?

[1fastmk3]

This truck is the best out of the box SC in it's class hands down!!!!

[metoritis]

whatza....MuSic!!! ?? pls? v.nice!

[SPRCVIDEO]

The first track is "Bang the Bass" by Wesley Devine, the second is "No-Function" by (Artist Unknown), the third is "Man vs. Mountain" by Pierre Gerwig Langer, and the last is "Amped Violence" also by Pierre Gerwig Langer.

[madisonvillehobbies]

what is the turning radius on this???

[SPRCVIDEO]

Release is still on schedule - 20th of this month, then however long it takes to reach your local dealer via UPS.

[1fastmk3]

Any more updates, release earlier than expected into CT ?

[itchyliabdo]

great editing!!! nice cam shot

[SPRCVIDEO]

It will be available by Feb. 20th.

[1fastmk3]

I hear from someone that has mabye an inside scoop that it is the end of month. Iam looking to purchase the Ultima SC for a trophy race on the 27th of FEB. Do I have a good chance??

[SPRCVIDEO]

Based on the information we have now, it should make it in time. I'd hate to make promise, however, because anything can happen. We've had a shipment held in port for three weeks due to technicalities on a piece of paperwork. Assuming none of that happens, it's a good chance you'll get it in time - perhaps just in time.

[1fastmk3]

Thanks a Million for the info. One more question:Since it will be new on the market and we will wait on parts, are the wheels compatible with any other vehicle? I assume they are Hex pattern? I need to prepare for racing tires before the event with the new Ultima SC. Thanks again ! Huge help ! I want o bring Kyosho to the podium in every class at our local track !

[SPRCVIDEO]

Kyosho certainly appreciates your support and it's greatest desire is that you find the truck a worthwhile investment. The wheels use a 12mm hex, which Kyosho has been using for 25 years. There are a number of other trucks that use the same wheel type, such as the Traxxas rear wheel or any 4x4 wheel, HPI, Losi, etc. I think the only one that won't fit is the Associated. They chose to go with the style that they've been using for years, which is the croos pin in the rear, and bearings in the frt.

[madisonvillehobbies]

hey when this come out?

[RapidFlux92]

Nice video work!!!! The truck is awesome!!!!

[SPRCVIDEO]

I looks like they'll be selling for about $210 and the speed is in the 25-30 mph range with the standard motor. With a modified motor, the speeds can easily get into the 50-60 mph range.

[jaxzf]

is this $210 Aussie or? can i get the Aussie price please

[trojanman3209]

@SPRCVIDEO What Batteries are being run in these trucks?

[SPRCVIDEO]

Peak Racing 5400 mAh, 45C, 2S LiPo packs.

[jaxzf]

how much are these? and how fast do they go?

[SPRCVIDEO]

I'm not exactly sure about your question. I checked the website you mentioned and found nothing related. I edited and post the video here and I haven't seen it anywhere else yet, but I'm sure that will happen over time.

[pirape]

Release this now kyosho! January is here...

[2stroke4Me]

Listen carefully at 3:00. No music can beat that! But seriousely, this truck looks great!!!

[zoso1010]

aaron still drives like shit.

[YAGO323]

Interesting truck. It looks like a race worthy 2wd truck. I wonder what will be more popular next year, 2wd or 4wd??

[DocWolph]

@YAGO323

I've though about that and I have a feeling that the Buggy classes are going to be largely overshadowed by 2wd and 4wd SCTs. But I think 2wd SCTs will be more popular through at least most of 2010. When LOSI and AE roll out their 4wd SCTs then the "traditional" Racing truck, 2wd 1/10 truggy, will start to go into decline as a serious racing segment.

[SPRCVIDEO]

The truck with the long antenna has the stock electronics, but you'll notice that it's the one pushing the other truck around when they're in the video together. It's pretty capable out of the box.

[pirape]

Are you racing with the stock electronics?
