Well it's got to the stage where I don't use the little monster often enough, and since I'm just about to move house (eargh), I'm trying to sell/throw out what I can to save me having to move it.

It's an Ultima RB buggy - a couple of years old now. Now it's only rear wheel drive, which means you'll have trouble beating the 4wd's around a track. On the plus side it makes an awesome car to thrash around, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. It makes a perfect first nitro RC car, because everything is big and simple, and you can change every suspension setting imaginable, so it's a great way to learn what works best. Parts are also cheap compared to most nitro rc cars (new gearbox/diff just cost me $24

It's got heaps of spares, plus the transmitter. Pod filter, spare glow plugs, 3 different exhaust systems, and about 90% of the parts are new (overhauled a few months ago). There's also a few sets of wheels/tyres & stacks of spare suspenion parts. You can jack it right up and go jump crazy with it, or dump to about 3mm ground clearance and it'll sure as hell hold its own on a tarmac track.

I have some awesome footage sitting around of it at the local skate park. Anyway, it makes a great little trick/jump car because it goes as fast as hell, and parts are mega cheap.

Top speed of around 65 kmph, however when properly tuned I clocked it at 71 kmph by sitting in the passenger seat of a mates car and leaning out the window steering it

Spent about $650 on it, not including parts & mods. Open to all offers over $150 for the lot. As I said - I just wanna clear it out. Pics to follow.

ahhhhh i gotcha... it'll do it even with the softest compound... rightyo...


i used to have a tamiya stadium blitzer... had a stock racing moter, tekin rebel esc, and some better batteries... but one day i decided to get adventerous... i made up a plug so i could run 2 batteries in series

bolted on the stock 540 motor... and holy crap did she move!!! for an old 'blitzer that was awesome! make the esc pretty friggin hot though... i took it to the local track one weekend where they were racing, and one of the officials just made sure i wasn't planning on racing it like that... lol... i took it for a bit of a blast before the race, the officials wanted to know why it moved so damn fast...

i drove it up my drive towards me... did a bit of a flick spin to stop, and there was smoke coming from the back... thought it was the tyres at first... then i realised i was cooking the motor... shoulda seen the armature slop after a few runs like that! damn she was a beast
