KYO30065B Ultima RT5 EP Sport Truck Kit by Kyosho (Assembly Required - No Tires)
Kyosho announces the new Ultima RT5 electric racing truck. It is an all-new design that is the result of years of R and D and includes the collective experience of the worlds most experienced RC
racing drivers and engineers and the most experienced RC racing company. The main goal of the new Ultima RT5 is simple - to win. Each aspect of the truck is specially designed and tested to produce
maximum performance. Likewise, the materials chosen for the new Ultima are exhaustively tested all with the goal to create the ultimate no nonsense competition truck that is ready to take on the
world.
The chassis plate is 23mm longer then the RB5. Light and strong, featuring a specially formulated carbon fiber composite for the best balance of peformance and durability. Strategic braces molded
into the chassis enhance the stiffness without adding any unnecessary weight. Seperate front and rear clips allow fast and easy removal of the front and rear end of the car, which makes maintenance
and repair much easier. Designed to accept stick packs and 2 cell lipo packs, the RT5 chassis features an adjustable battery mounting position that allows you to shift weight bias to suit track
conditions and your driving style.
The rear suspension arms are symmetrical so a single replacement arm can be used on either side of the truck, saving money and space inside your pit box. The inside of the arms are attached to the
chassis using seperate suspension mounts, which will allow anti-squat adjustment. The new rear wheel hubs feature a new quick release function, allowing you to make a quick tire change with no
tools. Vertical ball studs for both inner and outer rod ends of the upper link mean the rear suspension geometry can be fine tuned with shims.
Symmetrical suspension arms connect to a narrow front bulkhead. The bumper/skid plate, suspension block, nose plate and front bulkhead all come together to form a very rigid assembly, to which the
front suspension arms mount to. The standard position of the suspension mount produces 25 degrees of hinge pin angle in the front arms, but simply flipping the suspension mount increases hinge pin
angle to 30 degrees. The added flexibility of having adjustable hinge pin angles means you have more options when it comes to setting up your truck. Like the rear arms, a single replacement arm can
be used on either side.
While floating axles ride in bearings that are mounted in the nub instead of the wheel, this moves the weight of the bearings inboard for extremely more responsive suspension. The bearings are
under less stress, and they are better shielded from the elements.
Ball bearings provide smooth movement of the steering bellcranks, which are mounted on the chassis at the same angle as the suspension arms. This eliminates bump steer and produces more accurate
Acherman geometry throughout the entire range of steering motion. The steering plate (center link) features horizontally mounted ball studs, which mean the Acherman can be fine tuned by using shims
behind the ball studs offering a nearing infinite range of adjustments.
A simple button head screw captures all the outer hinge pins of the Ultima RT5. The rear inner hinge pins are truly captured between the suspension mounts, and the notched inner front pins are
secured with a setscrew through the front suspension mount. This means that the hing pins are much more secure and less likely to come loose.
The front shock tower is mounted as far back on the chassis as possible, as are the shocks, to keep the mass as low as possible. The rear shock tower is also designed to keep a low profile, yet
allow enough suspension travel to ensure the best possible handling. The shock towers are molded from an exhaustively tested composite, which is much more costly to produce than shock towers made
from woven graphite, but will also provide greater durability.
Kyosho is well known for silky smooth shocks and the new Triple Cap shocks included with the new Ultima RT5 are no exception. The shock body consists of three major components a top cap, velvet
coated threaded bodies, and a lower cap. The velvet coated shock bodies feature a threaded spring pre-load collar for quick and easy adjustment. The threaded adjuster features an O-ring that
prevents the preload settings from moving, which ensures consistent performance from start to finish. The lower shock cap allows for quick and easy maintenance of the double O-ring seals.
The rod ends feature a stronger material that is more durable and resists contamination from dirt. This means that the rod ends stay tighter and are less likely to be damaged or seperated from the
ball stud in the event of a hard crash.
Ball bearings are the standard for reducing friction and wear, and to increase efficiency. It is nice to know that the Ultima RT5 is equipped with a full set of 18 Teflon-sealed ball bearings used
throughout the drivetrain and transmission to keep things running smooth.
