Before starting the build of my Ultima SB Dirtmaster I've purchased a set of KiCK RC yellow rims from JC Racing to mach my idea of Kyosho buggy and to match the paint scheme I've got in mind.
I've also purchased a couple of 4000 mAh Nimh from LRP to have because I'm trying to fill the shortage in my battery stock... as usual living in Venice doesn't help with the hobby (to be honest it doesen't help with anything).
Last week the kit I'm going to build during our next holidays has been delivered to my door.
It's a Kyosho, my first Kyosho kit since I'm in the hobby.
To be honest I've planned to buy a Kyosho several years ago, in 1991, but the Lazer ZX-R wasn't available so I've been "forced" 😄 to buy the Yokomo Works '91.
This time, after I had realized that I prefer 2wd buggies, I decided to go for a Ultima SB... at first I've considered the Dune Master but the appeal of a proper buggy is much stronger to me so I go for the Dirt Master.
Some extra bits have been orderd, some already delivered: Schumacher tires, Rude Bits bearings for the steering rack, Kyosho's universals, yellow rims from JC racing and Kyosho's steel suspensions bushings.
Hope I will a good time in building it.
In the wait for the kit I'm going to build during our next holidays I'm considering to use an ESC that I own from a while and that I've run only for a couple of time: my M-Troniks TT-60.
Last year it have been discarded in favor of a Ko Propo VFS-FR2 as ESC in my Tamiya BBX because of its footprint but, this time, it would find room enough in the new chassis.
I would like to start to use it because I'm always really proud to use something that is made in the UK and because finding good option to the cheap chinese is becoming harder and harder.
