As someone who has never gone anywhere near nitro-RC, this kit has tempted me in to that world, so I have ordered the kit & engine. But do I need anything else apart from RC equipment & fuel? Does stuff like engine starter & exhaust come with the kit? its a good idea after every time yo...

The tuned pipe and header come in the kit, but you will still need a starter- many ways to go there. A glow plug igniter, fuel bottle, some extra glow plugs (if you have them, you wont likely need them- if you dont have a spare you will definitely need one lol) and a glow plug wrench, and some afte...

Placed it on May 30th. It arrived today.

Hi Guys, following this .. I put in an very early reservation with modelsport in the UK.. not heard anything yet :-( and theyve taken the T off the site.. Has anybody on here from the UK got one yet? perhaps I should order direct from AE ? Cheers Jon I’m in the UK and ordered direct from AE. My kit...

Has anyone got pics of their Scorpion with the HG shocks and carbon fiber parts yet? Yep. Mr Kyosho himself. :) ...photos taken at the recent Tokyo Hobby Show, with all of the new hop-ups fitted. http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt225/TMJ1972/kyosho-booth-tokyo44_zps48962052.jpg http://i614.photo...

Are those front tyres the same as the originals? Clearly, the rears are different...so is this because the originals are not very good by today's standards and they want this new take on the Worlds to be more competitive? Or are the old moulds simply no longer available?

So really, this is more like a Mk2 Worlds, rather than a re-release of the original. That's not a criticism by the way....just an observation. I will definitely be getting one.

The limiting of the numbers of classic kits makes perfect sense now.

Is that two Mirage SS & Turbo bodies, side by side?

So are the window frames of this limited SS body moulded in or have they merely been painted that way? I hope it's the latter as they look hideous situated so high up. What a way to ruin a sweet looking body.

Can someone point out the differences in detail between the Mirage SS & Turbo bodies? From doing a spot of googling I honestly cannot see how they are any different.

Does that mean it won't come fitted with this body?

Yep, what a saga it was but well worth it in the end. Cheers for all your help Bill.

Well only nigh-on six months of talking, waiting, some more talking, some more waiting, mine are finally here. I "only" pre-ordered 161 days ago....

i have a couple cans, i might shoot some scrap lexan this weekend and post it up.

I didn't back it with anything. No doubt a white backing would lighten it up though.
