First photo has the specs.

HI!... So I was going through some RC motors tonight and came across this. It's a Kyosho Le Mans 480 Gold. Didn't even know I had this. lol! Anyone got any info on it? Never heard of it but I'm not a Kyosho guy. Was thinking of cleaning it up and seeing if I could get a repo sticker made up for it ...

Red rocks dude.

Thanks olblueyez! The cf bumper is very promising stronger than plastic or aluminum, it is just perfect. I have scorcher body on mine so I will make s custom cf bumper for it myself. I have spent hundreds of $$ on my buggy, on rare to find parts so $$ does not hurt Got some photos? Would love to se...

CHECK OUT EBAY, the hop up parts are slowly popping up from JAPAN sellers, some CF parts and machined parts. These 2, I just gotta have for my vintage:- http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCW010-Kyosho-Scorpion-2014-CNC-Front-Castor-Lock-Set-2pc-/371139880600?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item56...

I have started to build my re-re when I discover some extra holes and that got me thinking if Kyosho planning a different application for the Scorpion platform. Any thoughts any one? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75638024/Det%20har%20g%C3%A5tt%2030%C3%A5r%2C%20vad%20har%20h%C3%A4nt/scorpion%2...

And red aluminum is cool.

Hold that thought till next Monday......

Do Tell..!!!

My guess is the clamps would work...the original Optima/Ultima red shocks are 10mm; the Option House Gold shocks are 12mm. If a caliper says the new Scorpion shocks are 10mm diameter, then Pargu's alloy clamps should work. Cool. Now if he would get some Aluminum wheels back in stock I'd be into tha...

I don't see a measurement on the clamps, so my guess is "maybe" I've never purchased either wing mount. It's not the body odor, it's waiting for someone that knows the answer. Sometimes that takes more than 24 Hours I measured the kit shocks and they seem to be 10mm across and he is selli...

Got a question about some of the parts on the Pargu Website. Will these clamps fit the stock shocks? http://www.pargustore.com/kyosho-red-shock-clamp.html I would also like to use the metal cage and I wonder which wing mount I would need?

You mean like outta the bag and ready to go?

Beautiful car

Gotta hand to KYOSHO, they did a great job with the SCORPION, no ones complaining :mrgreen: Since I have the original scorpion chassis and parts, I am not interested in buying the complete set, instead I would to get my hands on the HOPUPS to fit to my vintage setup. I have the used GOODYEAR tires ...
