So many choices..

The Ultima did very well in the short course comparison by RC car action (pretty sure that was the mag?) They stacked it up against the Blitz, Slash, SC10 and if I remember correctly the fastest lap times came from the Ultima. I would have to re-read the article to see how much any of the trucks were altered from stock.

yup the kyosho dominated the trucks in the "out of the box" issue. in part 2 they hopped them all up with available factory parts, and the same power systems, then sc10 dominated. However, this was not completely fair, since the sc10 had many upgraded parts. the kyosho was still new and not many available.

so, i am gonna race my slash, and pick up a roller sc10, just received my mmp (thanks mike). and due to get my tekin 17.5 today. practice tomorrow, qualify sat, heats sunday. Oregon RC nitro tour in Medford Oregon.
