Heritage Reborn in the Kyosho 30642

The Kyosho 30642 Ultima EP 2WD Racing Buggy revives the look and setup of the 1987 JJ Ultima while adding selective modern engineering. This anniversary edition is crafted to let enthusiasts recreate a historic race setup with fewer aftermarket modifications.

Why the JJ Spec Was Influential

The JJ-spec modifications showcased at the 1987 Electric Off-Road World Championship gave the original Ultima a handling edge through revised suspension geometry and chassis tuning. The Kyosho 30642 captures those traits so builders can reproduce the classic driving style on todays tracks.

Keeping the Classic Feel with Stronger Parts

The kit preserves period-correct aesthetics but uses a carbon graphite main chassis and FRP shock stays for improved stiffness and resilience. Adjustable turnbuckles provide precise wheel alignment and the Tomahawk-style body includes commemorative decals to match the vintage palette.

Driving Characteristics and Options

Soft front and rear tyres give balanced traction across mixed surfaces, while the ball differential in the rear gearbox aids stability through corners. The universal swing shaft reduces drivetrain lash, and the design supports traditional kit wheels as well as contemporary 2.2-inch options for competitive setups.

The Kyosho 30642 Ultima EP is a desirable choice for those who want a historically accurate replica that remains practical to run and tune for modern racing environments.

Out of the box it is well balanced, but competitive racers often fit modern tyres and fine tune shock oil and toe settings to extract maximum performance.
After each event clean dust and grit from suspension pivots, check drive joints for play, and inspect shocks for leaks; replace worn parts to maintain consistent handling.
The kit comes with decal artwork to match the vintage scheme, but many builders choose to paint and detail the polycarbonate shell to achieve an exact period finish.
Yes, the chassis is compatible with modern 2.4GHz radio systems; simply fit the receiver and route antennas away from moving parts for secure operation.
Select a 540 class motor that matches your track type and ESC; higher torque brushed motors are forgiving for mixed surfaces, while brushless setups deliver greater top speed and efficiency.
