The Kyosho 30642 Ultima EP 2WD Racing Buggy pays tribute to the 1987 JJ Ultima that left a lasting mark on off-road racing. Released as a limited commemorative edition for Kyosho's 60th anniversary, this kit combines period-correct aesthetics with practical modern refinements for todays RC hobbyist.
At the 1987 Electric Off-Road World Championship in England, Joel Johnson's modified Ultima introduced suspension and chassis tweaks that redefined handling. The Kyosho 30642 recreates that JJ Spec spirit, now available as a factory-backed kit so new drivers and collectors can experience the legendary setup without sourcing third-party conversions.
This version keeps the classic silhouette while using a carbon graphite main chassis and FRP shock stays for greater durability. Turnbuckle tie rods let you dial camber and toe precisely, and the included Tomahawk-style body carries commemorative decals for an authentic vintage finish.
Soft compound front and rear tyres provide predictable traction across mixed surfaces. The rear gearbox features a ball differential for smoother cornering, and the universal swing shaft helps reduce drivetrain losses. The kit accepts both the original wheels and modern 2.2-inch tyres, and the servo mount is compatible with current low-profile servos.
Collectors and active racers will value the Kyosho 30642 Ultima EP for its faithful styling and practical performance upgrades, making it a versatile addition to any garage or display shelf.
