Where to buy those 2014 Scorpion hop ups (and spare parts)

Post by stulec52 »

I got a reply from Tower saying basically that until they know what sort of demand there would be, they won't actually be stocking spares (or indeed hop ups) for the Scorpion.

So, this started my search for where to get them.
So far the only place I've found with some stock is Banzai.

Anyone got any other ideas?
I'm specifically looking for the complete gearbox and the carbon fibre parts.

Thanks.

So far I've only seen Banzai and kyoshoamerica with spare parts, but neither have many of the hop-ups (bumper, red and black radio tubs, chrome wheels and a couple other things). My guess is that they aren't released yet.

Heck, Kyosho America told me via email that they may not release all of the hop-ups we saw at the hobby show where they displayed them all for everyone to see. :roll:

I mainly want the universals but would like a set of wheels in black and some extra Sand Supers.

I emailed Kyo USA to see if they ship direct to me in Canada.
although weirdly getting stuff from USA to here is more expensive, and indeed slower than from Japan or China

Jason (of jr-rc fame) has universals in his online store. I just ordered a set.

I got a reply back from Kyosho America saying hop ups due in 3-4 weeks.

Also they will ship direct to Canada as well, although it read to me like they were the most expensive option

Well, tower did have the scorpion on back order for the last few weeks. So, maybe there is a decent amount of demand. Amain will probably never have spares or hop-ups.

Ill be making carbon parts eventually. My scorpion is just barely on the way,, so it will be a while yet to even get it built.

Don't know how accurate this is but found it on Kyosho's site.
