Kyosho have sent out a Sneak Peak of another new vehicle, following a previous sneak look at another new car last week. We have no further information on the new Ultima SC, but we can only presume from the SC and the silhouette of the car that this will be a new Short Course truck from the Japanese company, joining a host of other new entrants into this growing class. As it uses the Ultima name we believe it will be based heavily on the Ultima 2wd chassis and will therefore be a 2wd electric SC truck. We will keep you informed of any further information as we get it.

We did it!” was the thought that screamed through my mind on the last Sunday of July, a fraction of a second after the finish of the 1/10 Nitro touring European Championship and after the first 6 cars passed over the finish line… all of them XRAY NT1 cars! Finally, the long and grueling work of everybody on the XRAY team has paid off, and afforded us a fabulous achievement. I am so unbelievably happy, satisfied, and proud it is simply bursting from me.
