Kyosho what model

[edumspeed]

Got this tryggy for a good deal. Don't have a clue what model it is. Looks quite old imo.

Any idea on wich could it be?

I'm pretty sure that's a Kyosho GP Ultima RB Racing Sports Buggy.

I'm amazed at how many new parts are available for this car on ebay. Probably enough to complete your project.

Thanks Nitrotrout for your response.So it's a buggy. I thought it was a truggy for it being so wide.

It previously had this body shell, but the seller didn't include it

Looks more like an gp ultima st body. The wheels & front tires are the same.

Yeah you're right. you don't have the rear wing mount either. Looks like everything else is the basically same under the lid.

Ok. I'm looking for a body shell for it. What are my options? Sorry for asking so many questions.

You can fit just about any style of body you want with a 1/10 scale, as long as body width, overall length and wheelbase are close proximity to what you already have.
If you like the look of stadium truck style body like you have there, do a search for "1/10 stadium truck body" on ebay, there's a decent assortment of new and used, painted and clear bodies.

Feel free to ask questions. That's why we're all here. and what answers I don't know I'll just make up :mustache:

:whhooo: Dude! Is this one yours? What a transformation! Very nice work man. I love to see the vintage rigs revamped and running. Impressive.

 

[edumspeed]

Yup. That's the one Thanks! The guy working on it is a good friend of mine. He also has an older 1/10 rig with a vw bug body.

How was it to embed a video? Been some years i've done it and i forgot lol

More pics of the upgrade:

Now it has some nasty revs

After the mods, it revs up so hard it loosened the header bolts, even with locktite. Time for some lock nuts.

My friend also adapted an Ofna 2 speed transmission to his buggy. He just needs to fine tune the shift point and replace the pull cord.

Underneath the video clip (above the comment section) you'll see a share button. Click on that and a large blue highlighted url should appear. Copy that url and paste it here.
