:
A Readyset is a fully assembled model that includes nearly everything
you need to run. Body Color scheme is complete so only consumables like
batteries and fuel are required so you can start operating the model
without delay.
Getting its influence from actual buggies raced in the California Baja dessert area, this new buggy goes
back to the good old days of tube framed buggies. The chassis is based on the
Ultima SC Truck so this means that the performance is guaranteed. The chassis is stretched
from the original RB5 buggy and large enough to be considered a 1/9th scale.
This Ready Set (Ready to Run) is not just a backyard basher but a fully race
ready chassis with many of the high performance traits from the Ultima RT5.
:
- Impact Resistant Front, Rear and Side
Bumpers
- Newly Designed Uni-Pattern Tires
- Newly designed desert buggy body and molded pipe frame
- Composite Chassis - The chassis
plate is 40mm 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 DB chassis features an adjustable battery mounting position that allows you
to shift weight bias to suit track conditions and your driving style.
- Transmission - The new
transmission features a smaller, more compact housing that keeps the motor as
low and close to the transmission as possible, which reduces CG and improves
bump handling. The three- gear transmission features a new heavy duty SP idler
gear an sealed gear box with 4pcs metal bevel gears.
- Rear Suspension - The rear
suspension are symmetrical so a single replacement arm can be used on either
side of the truck, saving money and space inside your pit box because you don't
need to carry as many replacement parts. The inside of the arms are attached to
the chassis using seperate suspension mounts, which will allow anti-squat
adjustment. Vertical ball studs for the both inner and outer rod ends of the
upper link means the rear suspension geometry can be fine tuned with shims.
- Front Suspension - 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.
- Floating Axles - 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're better shielded from
the elements.
- Steering Assembly - The steering
bellcranks 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.
- Captured Hing Pins - A simple
button head screw captures all the outer hinge pins of the Ultima DB. 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.
- Shock Towers - The front shock
tower is mounted as far back on the chassis as possibl y, 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.
- Threaded Composite Shocks - The
composite 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.
- Fan Cooled 20 Turn HP Motor -
High performance and longevity are the key features of the G20 motor. It has an
internal cooling fan so the motor stays cool and strong from run to run.
- Reliable Perfex Radio System -
Pre-installed KR6 AM. receiver and a reliable Perfex KT6 pistol grip
transmitter.
- Lipo or NiMh - The Perfex ESC is
compatible with either Lipo 7.4v 2cell or 8.4v NiMh (7cell).
- RT5 & SC Compatible - Most
parts are compatible with the Ultima RT5 and most RT5 optional parts.
