This was an Srb with a Yok trailing arm mod.

That's about the least SRB parts left on an"SRB" that I've ever seen

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Here is a chassis I have been working on, came to a standstill when I tried to mount my Parma shocks, the front shocks are too long.
Had a talk with Lars, seems I need to make taller shock mounts for the Parma's as he did with his Parma Scorpion....

RC front sway bar hey? Don't know that I've heard of this. I bastard iced an Optima rear sway bar for my Turbo Scorpion. I'll post photos in due course. I would be interested to find a bespoke front bar for the Scorpion series though.

I found an old “Scorpian” racer on eBay… no no, that’s not correct! “Mikedealer” brought this car to my attention and “Lowgear” gave me the link! And now it have found new home in Gothenburg Sweden and will be these guys forever grateful! But it was...

Awesome!

The reinforcing for the front end looks like it would be pretty hard on the plastic radio tub :?

I have a piece of FRP coming from the one and only GOMachV :)
I going to enlarge the pic, print it, make a pattern and try to cut it out.

The COX/ Kyosho Scorpion had its peak on the track 83-85 until the RC10 hit the tracks! This will be an effort to build a 26 year old Turbo Scorpion racer with some hop-up parts from CRP + some others. You could say that the Scorpion was the first...

Yes, got my Beetle last night.
Awesome to build.
Now I just miss all the pieces you have said and some that I think just looks cool.

This little Kyosho Scorpion beetle has been a long running project of mine that has just about taken me 2 years to complete. Not content with the Tamiya SRB beetle I wanted something a little more 'racer' orientated and the Turbo Scorpion seemed...

Those tires look badass. How is the tranny holding up to the 19turn?

Straight off the bay, it is pretty rough but I can see some potential here:

Not that I don't have any other builds in progress, but it's time to add one. Like most of my projects, it will be raceable, and stems from an inspirational snapshot. In...

Love the paint and the deep dish sand rover rear wheels. Some day I'll get motivated to build my scorpions up

Here are some more vintage factory mods and designs associated with the scorpion - mono shock setup and a 4x4 scorpion?? way cool! In TIME TUNNEL, someone has done a similar job (used RC10 type - MIP ball diff for front)

Thanks coelacanth, so for tamiya sand scorcher body, polycarbonate is a no go. I heard this from a hobby shop owner, saying that those pair will react with the styrilne plastic, ok meant to buy some paint, but first trying to order some airbrush...

I bought a heavily modified and very well worn Scorpion and a good load of spares 1988, it was considered an old buggy at the time but it ran and I had fun with it. Eventually I broke a rear trailing arm and had no way of getting a new one so it...

Couldn't resist, £60 worth of Beetle sans shell but with original radio box cover, in much better nick than my own one saved from the 80's.

Good rear tires and rims, proper diff instead of spur gear. All plain bearing, missing front wheels but I...
