Kyosho Ultima DB 1/8 Electric Desert Buggy - revised

Sorry for the confusion - this is an updated version of the DB video with a clip added to show the large scale of the Ultima DB compared to the Ultima RB5.

The Kyosho Ultima DB brings scale back to electric racing in the form of a modern off-road desert racing buggy. it's large 1/8-scale size comes from the Short Course platform of the Ultima SC, but it's not just the same truck with a new body. The Ultima DB features a very scale body with a rugged and functional roll cage. The cage attaches to the chassis at six points and withstands very strong impacts without body damage. The solid roof panel is and roll cage are made from a very durably molded composite that will endure much more punishment than an standard body. It also features a rear motor and transmission guard to protect against rear impacts.

The Ultima DB comes completely factory assembled - even the body is trimmed, assembled and the decals are applied. You simply need to install a Ni-MH or Li-Po battery of your choice, attach the body, and you're ready to run. In spite of all it's user-friendliness, the Ultima DB is a current design that has the benefit of the World's most experienced RC racing engineers. The Ultima RB5 and RT5 are at the core of the Ultima DB, which means it not only looks great, it's shares the same DNA as the race-bred vehicles upon which its based.

Sharing many of the same parts as the Ultima SC, the DB can use most of the replacement parts from the Ultima SC, and its relation with the RB5 and RT5 means that most of the optional high-performance parts are ready to be installed.

The Ultima SC is already on its way to proving that it's the best performing short-course truck on the market, with commanding wins at the 2010 Silver State at the hands of Joe Pillars, and recently the 2010 Cactus Classic, piloted by Mark Pavidis. All of the performance of the SC is preserved in the Ultima DB, and it's got the added benefit of a modern, scale desert racing buggy body. There's simply no better value and performance that you can find in one package.

brushless???

[SPRCVIDEO]

@shrimper2121 Not Brushlesss out of the box to reduce the price, but easily capable of handling it. The systems that come with vehicles that include them, are generally junk. They often feature the cheapest system that can be found to keep the price of the car to a minimum. But, it you keep the price of the car to a minimum by NOT including a costly brushless system (relatively speaking), then you'll have the choice of your own system, that will be a better performer by far.

Great video, well done!! Love the slow mo' on the suspension travel. I bet if you had more speed over the jumps, and put a bigger rear wing on it, I'd say it would keep the nose up on landing......?

[SPRCVIDEO]

@Jeff1125r

Thank you. The bigger rear wing isn't needed. The attitude of the car is mostly controlled by the throttle position in the air. Sometimes the jumps can kick the rear of the car up in the air, which can't be solved, but absent that, this car handles really well, on the ground and in the air, especially compared to the Short Course trucks with the big bodies.
