Kyosho 30642 - 1/10 Ultima EP 2WD '87 JJ Replica Collector Buggy  [KY-30642]

Kyosho 30642 Recreated for Modern Hobbyists

The Kyosho 30642 Ultima EP 2WD brings back the look of the JJ Ultima while integrating current engineering choices to improve durability and tuning. This anniversary release delivers an approachable route to the classic JJ Spec build in a single kit.

The Story Behind the JJ Spec Revival

The JJ-modified Ultima made headlines at the 1987 world event thanks to thoughtful chassis and suspension modifications that improved race pace. The Kyosho 30642 reproduces that setup at the kit level so builders can replicate the handling characteristics that made the original famous.

Classic Lines with Stronger Core Components

The model retains the original silhouette but mounts it on a carbon graphite main plate and FRP shock stays to resist race-day strain. Adjustable turnbuckles let you tune wheel alignment, and the Tomahawk-inspired body includes anniversary decals for authentic presentation.

Tuning, Tyres and Drivetrain Notes

Supplied soft tyres deliver reliable traction on a variety of surfaces, while the rear ball differential smooths throttle transitions in corners. The universal swing shaft reduces drivetrain lash, and the design supports either the classic wheel sizes or modern 2.2-inch options for competitive setups.

The Kyosho 30642 Ultima EP is a solid pick for those who want a runnable classic with sensible modern updates, offering display value and practical race potential.
