The Ultima, a 1/10 scale EP (electric) 2WD off-road car that went on sale in 1986, was a pinnacle of Kyosho’s efforts in response to the increasingly cutting-edge R/C buggy scene. Completed with the most advanced technology of the time, the Ultima demonstrated high performance from the moment it was released, and achieved a magnificent 1-2-3 finish in the 2WD class of the World Championships held in the UK in 1987. The Ultima Pro, released in 1988 as a natural evolution of the Ultima, is being revived as the 21st release in Kyosho’s Vintage Series. The original Ultima used a monocoque frame with a resin upper deck attached to a U-shaped molded aluminum frame, but the Ultima Pro has changed to a double-deck style that combines an aluminum flat chassis with an FRP upper deck, achieving both sufficient rigidity and appropriate flexibility. In addition, the degree of freedom in how the R/C mechanism and battery are mounted has also been increased. This structure is retained in the reissue, and the front lower suspension arms have been changed to the same long type as the later model of the original Ultima Pro that appeared in 1989, resulting in a wider track, and the wheelbase has also been extended by 10 mm compared to the later model of the Ultima Pro, improving driving stability. The front and rear oil dampers, which are essential for off-road models, are dial-adjustable gold type, making them more practical than those of the original Ultima Pro. The front and rear damper stays that receive input from the dampers are made of FRP, which is exclusive to the Ultima Pro. With a name that means “ultimate” in Japanese, and true to its name, the Ultima Pro is the culmination of the first-generation Ultima series which achieved great success in the racing world, and with the revival of the Ultima Pro, the world of Kyosho Vintage Series has become even deeper.
