Kyosho Ultima RB6.6 ReadySet 2WD buggy

Kyosho’s Ultima RB6.6 1/10th 2WD electric buggy is soon also available as factory-assembled ReadySet ready-to-run kit. While the kit version of the RB 6.6 features four transmission setups, the Readyset version includes the 4-gear midship transmission with its more controllable feeling. As the basic configuration of the chassis and components are the same as in the kit version, the same wide setting options allow the chassis to be competitive on the race track straight out of the box. The all-important power train is equipped with a G15 15T brushed motor for controllable speed and exceptional drivability. The ReadySet includes nearly all items needed, except for batteries for buggy and transmitter. The set is rounded out though by a Syncro KT231+ 2.4GHz radio system and a powerful steering servo.
