There is support for the ultima teams, but not for evaders. There are only evader's out there now because they are cheap and people get their hands on them because they are more like entry trucks. Plus, you have a .18 made by os! But with out the OS engine... the evaders wouldn't be where they are today. If I were to race .18's, that OS would be the first one I'd go to. But to just say the better parts about the ultimas, is that all the parts have a better center of gravity. When I did the test drive for my website, we raced the Ultima Sports, the X-C from XTM and the Evader. They are good entry level trucks, but the 2 drivers and I picked the X-C.
The evader is a decent truck, its just that there isn't enuff parts out there for me to want to race it. When I participate in races, I compete in the .12's. Thats where the problem comes in with the evader and many other RTRs... illegal in roar.
Heck, when we raced the 3 trucks, including mine, ultima type r, the evader did come in second... but like you said, its all driver and driver preferance. Come here and I will let you take my truck for a couple of hotlaps! If you want, you can drive mine and i will race it with yours. [8D]
Last but not least... you don't see me flaming up about the Evader sayings its horrible because of one bad experience with it, so why do it to the ultima? I'd like to get a thread going that doesn't have to be closed all the time... and if thats the way to be, then I will bring back my T-Maxximum forums. One last question... did you build your ultima or did you get the RTR ultima?
I'd also like to break it to ya... but Duratrax and Kyosho are under the same company.
http://www.bestrc.com/index.html these are distributed by the same company! or so towerhobbies says... and they are owned by great planes... so of course its all of the companies mass distributed by great planes.
