Vintage ultima and this beast, I didn't realize how fast and fun the big bashers were, but my heart is still with the vintage buggies

yeah id rather have the Kyosho. its lack of abilities and short comings compared to the newer, bigger truck make it more fun. using my imagination, trying to push its limits would be more fun. ...unless of course i had flaming school busses to octuple backflip on an early 2000's FMX course. then yeah, the Kraton might be more fun for a pack or two.

Do I need to actually say it? 
I agree. They both have a place and a use.
I enjoy my Gorgon quite a bit.
The Granite has been pretty solid since I widened it.
Both get bashed in winter, mud, leaves... I don't mind banging them up.
I imagine your use for the Kraton is similar.
I am aware of the Ultima's limitations as well as where it excels. I would not try to hammer it in my back yard after the first thaw of the year when mud and ice would make it no fun.
I would enjoy the heck out of the Ultima on a track though! In or outdoors, dirt or carpet, these cars did well.
I can't imagine trying to reign in the Gorgon or Granite on a tight track! Might be fun to try tho!
