    Kyosho Ultima and nostalgia question!!

    Well, it will depend on where the motor mounting holes are. You can make anything work of course. Having the wires come out the side of the can instead of solder tabs will make thing better or worse. Hard to say. It is the part of the Ultima I like least though. There really isn't a good way to...

    Well, it may fit with that motor, depending on where that wiring harness is from the motor plate. You can remove the wiring harness clamp and gain more room. I opted to keep mine tidy, and per the instruction manual.

    Kyosho Ultima and nostalgia question!!

    Mine didn't allow for a more forward rotation of the motor. I don't need to look at Big Squid. I built mine. And that pic at Big Squid doesn't show you how tight the mounting area is. Where I mounted mine was the only option. The front wire mount ran into the transmission housing if I tried...

    Kyosho Ultima and nostalgia question!!

In it, it will list recommended electronics for brushed and brushless setups. https://kyoshoamerica.com/30625.html Oh, and one cool thing. Kyosho manuals list all the Option House upgrade parts that...

    Kyosho Ultima and nostalgia question!!

    First of all, welcome to RCT. Just an intro, here's our Ultima we just built. Nothing nostalgic here but the kit itself. If you are going for nostalgia, don't go with anything but the Kyosho motor and ESC. First and foremost, the kit was designed to use Kyosho electronics. All their kits...
