I supplied them that body

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 :?

Was very lucky to end up with this old racer.
One of my favorites for sure.
Jim Schauer's Scorpion with an original Andy's painted body. Haven't seen many that ran the Mip trans.

Last post

Definitely!
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 :lol:

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.

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

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?

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...

Last post

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...

Hi all,

I'm thinking that with the extra grunt that I'm going to be putting through my Turbo Scorpion drivetrain, I should look at putting the old gears in a bag and finding replacements of the same pitch or maybe even replacing with a different...

I see that its a mess, but is it a scorpion? Tranny looks funny to me.

Last post

The Hilux Monster Racer was a rebodied King Cab.

The only other differences besides the body was the white rims were changed to red, and the front spike tires were changed to ribs.
