about 4 weeks now and the pics where taken day #3. its weird to look at those pics because ive already changed things on her, speed control, rear tyres, motor. i gotta tell ya, racing her is damn addictive!!

racing isnt costing me much. its $7 per meet and its each weekend. when there i will buy a hotdog or pie for lunch ($2) and 2 or 3 cans of softdrink ($1 each). i havent broken anything on her yet so i thank the lord above for that!

so much fun. so much fun!

Very nice!

Gotta love the Kyosho's, definitely my favourite RCs....reliable, strong and relatively easy to get parts for.....although many of them are NOT easy to work, which I really dont see as a disadvantage anyway :)

the pics above were posted early november. its now late feb and i thought id give some updates.

id like to quote myself from when i first purchased the car:

"i know its easy to spend a lot of money on these things, but im going to keep it stock and race just for fun with the slower cars. im only doing it for fun"

updated pics below:

Those Kyosho Ultima 2wd buggy's dont cost that much to buy like associated does and i might grab one too. though im sure once its hotted up it would cost a bit.


the buggy without radio gear is $160. im aiming to have the buggy handle and be as quick as the higher priced cars, and i think ive got it now. im just about to test it at the next race meet.

there are a few things to be changed, adding an electronic speed controller ($100), a nice motor ($65), and small bits and peices.

body shells for the ultima are no longer available, i will have to strip the paint off my current one.

If you guys hurry up and design a team style, the Mini-T will get that colour scheme when it arrives ;)
