Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi
The front suspension compressed, the wheel falls to the center line of the wheel well. Many true baja have the front end extended by about 5" anyway. I think it looks fine as is. The rear was my concern, but after trimming it looks much better.

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi
Ha ha! Yes! That, and I have three of them...them stupid things were like $100 back in the day. Quick transit time. Works perfectly in this. I haven't taken pics of this yet with the SS paddles yes, but I'm sure it'll look good. My fenders are trimmed, more drastically in the rear than the front.

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi
I had the original as a kid. My very first "kit" rc car. It was actually labeled as a Cox Scorpion. I was on the fence here, since I wanted this but also a sand scorcher badly. I went for performance, and the look. =) Loving out this is turning out.

So, how did you make the hex adapters? I have some to play with, just haven't started on them yet.

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi
I'm not as particular. I'm running the stock kit tires, and Sand Scorcher Paddles too. I just needed another pair I figured I may as well get bead locks.

I would love some pics if you're willing. I just ordered these wheels, be here today. I'm sure it'll all become clear when they show up. Thanks! Erici

What exactly did you have to machine on these to make them fit?
