OK, so all I need are the Swing Shafts & the LED's and after that the build will commence.

I still can't decide on the metal motor cage. I like it,,... But it will be attached to the carbon fiber shock mount and I don't know if that's a good idea. I was thinkin maybe some plastic washers would be in order to mount the cage. :?:

I went with 13.5 on the Le Mans brushless motor.

Thanks! I'm hoping to find a big-ish Kyosho decal for the wing. I may have one from RCX.

Has anyone got pics of their Scorpion with the HG shocks and carbon fiber parts yet?

I've ordered the shocks and towers but they will be a few weeks away till I see them. I'm also waiting for a new roll cage as I also had 2 left hand cage parts delivered in my kit.

Now I'm wondering if I should order the fiberglass parts to ditch the tub?? Anyone have a pic with the stock body and radio tray mod too?
Doe's it still look good without the tub?

Cheers

Very cool parts!

Mmmm, I'm thinking I would get a tomahawk shell if I went down that path to cover the sides up. So many options, now I want another scorpion to keep stock and one to mod.

Here is the TBG (MRP) Harris body. I haven't decided how to paint it yet. It requires a little shorter front body post, and the rear bars protrude thru the body. Gives it a different look for sure

Some more pics of the HG shocks fitted to a hopped up scorpion from time tunnel, Some CF parts as well as the machined front shaft locks. Wondered how they would look. The HG shocks have plastic tops, thought it would have all anodized body for that asking price.

It has been a fun build revisiting the 80's. Except for the alloy around the motor from pargustore.com and matching paint on the roll cage, the car is OEM. The motor is a 25t Tamiya Torque Tuned which will be powered with NiMh.
