Original Kyosho Ultima
I still have my original Kyosho Ultima from the mid 80s and was wondering if these things are worth any money now. Also, does anyone know if I can still get parts for this thing. I was thinking about letting my son use it while I am using my TMaxx. Thanks for the help!!

Post some pics! Then we can see what condition it's in. If nothing else, strip it down and clean it up really well, either for use or selling (it drives me nuts when folks post stuff for sale when it looks like it just got dragged through a mud puddle).
If you want to sell it, maybe don't let your son drive it for fear of breaking something.

Mint ones go for about 400, more if boxed etc. Parts are available on ebay, but you may need to be patient and diligent to find exactly what you are looking for.

I've got a few Optima's, I'd keep it in nice order and not let the kid crash it.
Mine gets an easy drive on gravel at most and it's not mint to start with.
