Re: Kyosho Turbo Scorpion 2016
Yes, but old people usually got money to spend. And 40 year old guys are usually nostalgic so Kyosho are on the right track But you are right, they could hurry up and release any car

Re: Kyosho Turbo Scorpion 2016

Re: Optima is back!!
Great news :D looking forward to build a vintage racing machine and beat up some hot shots, i really think Kyosho did a good job on their re-release Scorpion so this is going to be interesting and expensive. I am hoping for beltdrive and fine pitch gears because i want a silent car :mrgreen: and a l...

Re: Ultima vintageracing
Yes i have thougt about changing servo position but using very small low-profile servo made me think that would be no weightshift forward. I do use small racinggear like savöx servos and LRP brushless esc, for yes keeping weight low. Blue bellcranks for Lazer ordered. The car is heavily understeered...

Re: Kyosho Tomahawk Rerelease

Re: Optima mid vs Lazer?
Lol welshy40..i wouldnt say the lazer isnt great..but in my opinion the biggest advantage handling wise the lazer has over the mid is suspension. You place the better suspension in the mid you also get the handling. they just have different ways of transmiting power. modifying too much of either ca...

Re: Optima mid vs Lazer?
Lazer by far a better car, mind ypu my buddy Rama aka Alcyon may say otherwise. You can still buy chassis and all varients including my design the tub. Also all towers, steering plates, L braces all from fibrelyte and belts are being made again and sold on ebay, so not too hard to race it. Im still...

Re: Optima mid vs Lazer?
Optima mid in swb form can be fairly twitchy on low traction surfaces. On carpet though, should be able to tune out any you like. Lazer was always a bit more stable I think in part from longer wheel base and better weight distribution. My preference would be a swb mid on a carpet track. That thing ...
