Kyosho Ultima SC – Sneak Peak

Kyosho have sent out a Sneak Peak of another new vehicle, following a previous sneak look at another new car last week. We have no further information on the new Ultima SC, but we can only presume from the SC and the silhouette of the car that this will be a new Short Course truck from the Japanese company, joining a host of other new entrants into this growing class. As it uses the Ultima name we believe it will be based heavily on the Ultima 2wd chassis and will therefore be a 2wd electric SC truck. We will keep you informed of any further information as we get it.
