i have an old buggy in my collection. i'm 90% sure it's a losi....very old, it has graphite upper and lower decks, with aluminum standoffs, jammin step pins in back, rp mega pins in front i think... futaba reciever, and hi speed servo, novak t-4 esc, and deans connectors.

can anyone tell me the model, or if it's not a losi, it doesn't say anywhere... it also has plastic wing mounts with adjustable downforce.(not wire ones)...


555

556

Thanks

This is not a LOSI and may be a Schumacher or a Kyosho or someone's conversion kit. It is hard to see the transmission but that would probably be the easiest way to tell.

Nope....NOT a Schumacker.....it IS an OLD Kyosho Ultima.....Pro I believe......is the chassis carbon fiber or fiberglass, or FRP? That will tell you. If it is CF, than it is a PRO.

its the triumph as the chassis had 2 smaller openings towards the front on the upper deck where the ultima has a small than a large opening in the front upper deck. also, the ultima pro was the only to carry the gold shock bodies, the other ultima series has red or the 1 had silver. the wing and front tires appear to be aftermarket from the stock on the triumph above tho.

What do I win!!! lol I had one of these and would love to find another one, one of the better handling cars I had in its day. (Is that a bad thing to write on a losi Forum?)
