Looks great Jeff!
Like what you did with the bumper, was it a stock bumper?
By the way, the front skid plate is a JG.

I get my JG/CRP/HRP/etc all mixed up

I could had sworn it was CRP, it kind of matches the rear one they still sell too
Anyway, the bumper is copied from an Assault bumper I was given to make copies of by another member. I thought the holes were stock but I very well may have made them myself lol!!

Update with a servo plate, made from scratch. If I find a stock one ill copy it so it looks closer. I plan to cut a couple holes for looks and lightening. Body sure fits a lot better lol!

like many here, i first got into rc cars in the 1980's. the Tower Hobbies catalog was well worn and dog eared, the page with the Kyosho Scorpion was read and re-read dozens of times. at that time i could only afford the Kyosoho Pegasus, a car i...

Also does anyone know the exact parts differences between the Scorpion and Turbo Scorpion?

The rear plate is different and the Turbo Scorpion is having a longer wheelbase. There is other differences, however the main difference I noted:

Hey guys, I picked this up last week from A-main. Using their $30 discount code, I think it was around $225 shipped. I have a new original tomahawk but I bought it basically finished a few years back, so this was my first Kyosho build in my 30 years...

Thanks. Yes, I figured as much.

I’m debating whether I should enlarge the hole again, or require dismounting the shaft each time I need to remove the wheel.

The suspension was really stiff also. I’ve since found that the shocks were over full and...

Considering the Kyosho

But I'm on the fence. In the videos I've seen on youtube looks like the car has a tendency to understeer, and one comment was that it was nose heavy in flight.

Like to hear from owners of a Scorpion what their thoughts were...

Last post

Buy an RC10, at least AE might support their customers unlike Kyosho who suck at supporting anyone who supports them.

They do? I thought that was only a problem in the early 2000nds when they dropped Great Planes as a distributor...

Kyosho Scorpion/Beetle rere wheel & tire options

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Scorpion. I'm curious what the tire options are that are available, and who has them. Are they a 1.55 ? I'm looking to throw some paddles on the rears, hopefully the Sand Scorcher paddles. Thoughts?

Last post

The Sand Scorcher Paddles and Hornet spikes will fit on the scorpion wheels, you just have to leave out the outer ring and glue them on. I raced with the Super Champ/Hornet spikes on my scorpion back in the 80s.

I haven't got the car kit yet, as it was out of stock at Tamico, but already got most of the options that I want to use:

It's nothing special

That Frog looks awesome! Are those side shocks upgraded? They look extra extra. I had a Hornet, which was awesome, when I was a kid but always wanted the Frog. Do you have any photos with the body off?
