Versatile and easy to drive 2WD buggy for pure off-road action !
Buggies were created to venture off-road over rough surfaces at high speed and the Ultima SB Dirt Master is a return to the purest form of this fun and excitement. If you want more than the entry-level model can deliver but top-end models are too focused on racing, the Dirt Master is perfect for good honest bush-bashing fun! Based on the competition-level Ultima RB5, the Dirt Master was developed as a mid-class buggy featuring high quality key performance components, at a reasonable price. The rear motor layout ensures secure rear tire grip that demonstrates rock-solid stability over low grip surfaces such as gravel and riverbeds. As the Ultima SB Dirt Master shares its racing heritage with the RB5, it is also at home on fully-fledged RC racing circuits too. With the excellent basic chassis design and a completely new body with a nostalgic flair, beginner drivers looking to step up to the next level of performance or hard-core racers looking for some fun will discover the Ultima SB Dirt Master is true to the original spirit of the buggy.
