Thanks you! 👍

Thanks Steve. Oh yeah the old school beasts are the cooler for sure! 👍

Nice, your Ultima would have been super quick for the time. Oh yeah, the 80's was a great time for RC's and us teenagers way back then! 👍

It is a great place. Cheers! 👍

Thanks mate. It was great fun. Glad you enjoyed it buddy! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed 😊👍

Thanks mate. Yeah the RC10 flies quite nicely! 👍

It is a great place for bashing. Thanks! 👍

Thanks mate. Yeah I think these ones will be classics in years to come. 👍

Oh yeah it was fun lol. Glad you enjoyed it mate. 👍

Thanks mate. Yeah it's a great space. Places like that are getting harder to find these days. 🙁👍

Thanks mate. Oh yeah it was fun! Was great weather for it, though we did get some sun burn lol. Glad you enjoyed the video, we had fun making it! 👍

I'm using the standard 25t pinion that comes in the kit. 11t sounds like it's a brushed motor, so I'd go 2-3 teeth less on the pinion and see how that goes for heat. 👍

Thanks Matthew. I still haven't driven my Turbo Scorpion as yet but the Ultima is definitely the better car. That said there is nothing wrong with the Turbo Scorpion, the Ultima suspension is just better. Both awesome cars! 👍

Thank you very much! That’s great to hear as I ordered the Ultima! Can’t wait. It’ll be my first build so going 540 brushed to start then I’ll look at motors and batteries later as an excuse to tinker again

Thanks Duke! 👍

Thanks Harry. I hear ya, it sucks to be inside from either weather or some crazy virus.

Thanks mate. Yeah we had a great time. We're just glad we're allowed out, for dirty dancing at the park. 🤣👍

@@RCHobbyShed 😂😂

Thanks Mark. Oh yeah they were both fun, was a great run. Haha, we're calling the Ultima "heatseeker" now as it kept wanting to hit my mate 😂. Hope you're doing well, mate! 👍

It's awesome fun there. I do feel lucky to have such a place close by, it's getting so hard to find places to run our cars these days. 👍

Thanks mate. Haha, hope it doesn't get boring. For sure mate, I prefer the older looking buggies too. Oh yeah, the Ultimas really come to life with a brushless setup, wish we had them back in the day! I think it's awesome that the Ultimas old design can still mix it up with the likes of the Losi 22 and the RC10 B4. Oh yeah mate, was great fun, hanging to get out for more runs! Excuse my slow reply, couldn't get back here till now. Thanks mate, you have a great weekend too! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed ha,ha, never gets boring, everytime I need to know something I go back and watch your builds and learn something. Like swapping the uprights on the Blitzer beetle, it's made it drive perfect, would be bump steering all over the place if built stock. The ultimas are very tough to, I've had a few spills and not even a scratch, looks like new still. Every thing has it's weakness even $1200 Arrmas but these Kyoshos are tough as . Can't wait to see the next video.

@@petergoodwin2465 That's good mate, I'm glad you like the videos and find some of them helpful. Oh yeah, the Ultimas are quite tough, I've still not broken anything either. That's right, everything has a weakness. Hoping to have a similar video out later this coming week. 👍

I'm lucky to have those place close by. Most of our construction sites are fenced until they're finished. Your Ultima will be a beast with a brushless system! 👍

Thanks Mark! 👍

We just kind of run them how they were without any real setting up. The Ultima is setup to minimize chassis slaps off the higher jumps but makes it slippery and bouncy to drive. The RC10 does drive very well, it is nice and smooth. Oh yeah, awesome place to run our cars and it's great to able to get out again as it's been far too long. Thanks Eric! 👍

Both cars weren't really set up at all, we just ran them how they were. I don't know how the RC10 was set up but the Ultima is bouncy because I have the shock springs set very hard so as not to trash the chassis too much coming off the jumps, of course that makes it harder to drive on the flat areas. Yeah the weight distribution is a bit different, I think I'd prefer the battery to be a little more forward in the Ultima. But we aren't racers or anything, just out for a bash. Yeah that is the original body on the Ultima, I've changed nothing since building it, but will need tyres soon. I think the B4 body would look good on and Ultima. Cheers mate! 👍

Thanks mate. Yeah I'm luck to have such a great place close by. There is a sign at this one, only specifying no nitro/gasoline RC cars and no motorbikes. There's only houses on one side of it and they're across the road. Perfect RC spot really. That sucks people have to ruin your fun when you're not effecting them in any way.

Awesome! I'm running a Trinity Punisher 10.5t motor and a Tekin RS Gen 3 ESC. Part of the reason I chose this ESC is so it fits in the bottom of the chassis nicely as it doesn't have a fan. Most other ESC don't fit because of the fan. My motor is actually below the turn limit for this ESC (I think it's 13.5t limit) but I've had no issues so far, it runs great. Hope this helps. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed Found it :-)

Thanks Jon. Yeah I ran some negative camber hoping to keep it from sliding too much on the loose surface. Might have gone a bit overboard though. 👍

I would buy both if only I could find an old rc10. The ultimas really are cool , I love mine better than all the big Arrmas we have.

As Peter said, both are great. Hard to say which to buy though. The Ultima is great, but it's built on a 30+ year old design, although it is a completely new buggy compared to the original. The RC10 B4 is only a 7-8 year old design. Running them were we did, I couldn't really choose between the two but I'm sure the RC10 would have the edge on a proper RC track. So I think either would be a great choice for general running, but I'd say the RC10 if you plan to race. 👍

Hi, sorry for the late reply. This RC10 is a mates car, so I don't know a lot about it. I do know parts are easy to find on eBay. I did drive the RC10 and I can say it's super smooth and goes where you point it. Quality is top notch, as you'd expect from multiple world champ pedigree. If you're thinking of buying one, I say go for it. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed thanks heaps for the reply mate! think I might have to go for one :D

@@alexanderhetherington6018 Awesome! 😁👍

Thanks! Yeah the Ultima does bounce a lot. It wasn't really set up for best handling, the ride height was set so as to not slap the chassis too much on the higher jumps. I think they both handle great, of course the Ultima would benefit from the shocks not being set so hard. I think the RC10 would have the edge in handling though, purely because of it's much newer design. On this surface the RC10 did feel more planted. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed I'd be willing to put up with the ultima's deficiency in handling to have it's good looks. Those vintage re-releases are nice looking machines. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks mate. Lol which kind of music, there was about 4 different types?

@@RCHobbyShed Really? All sounded the same to me.

@@keithrx3c Yeah that's kinda the problem with royalty free music, which is what I have to use as to not get copyright strikes. What kinda of music do you prefer?

@@RCHobbyShed Mostly 80's/90's stuff, love Guns N Roses.

@@keithrx3c I'm glad you said that. For a minute there I was worried you might be a Justin Bieber fan 🤣. Yeah Gunners are awesome. I'm mainly into 80's metal and rock type stuff. None of it I can use in my videos without getting copyright strikes and stuff though. I'd go without music, but then you'd only hear me swearing. 🤣
