Getting it started
First thing I noticed was a severely scratched wheel. I contacted Kyosho they will send a new one.

Re: Kyosho Scorpion on sale at tower hobbies. 189$ shipped
The build went great. No issues. I wonder what electronics I should pull out. And what color to paint the body.
Wish I could make it smaller. My gif app isn't the best lol. I thought little panda was funny but I can remove it. I mean, it's possible.

Decided to paint it up. I went with a hybrid retro/custom paint job. I could really use some advise on electronics.

2.4 air, it'll link to my MT-4! I'm going cheap, not even trying to be competitive with this I think I'll get a hobby wing and pull out a brushed.

Continuing with my retro/modern mix I decided to throw in an Aurora 14-2 brushed 540 and a Castle Sidewinder 3 ESC. The first run had me singing 1987's Speed Demon by Michael Jackson. LOL I just plugged it into the castle link and dialed it down to 75%. I forgot to glue the tires I don't want to roll it over yet!

The 14-2 on a 2300 mAh 30C lipo dialed down to 75% using castle link is still stupid fast but controllable. The ESC doesn't even get warm. I really like it. Can't wait to hit the sand.

Looks like You followed the new manual when You adjusted the front axle.
Do it like the Original Scorpion - The bend portion is parallel with the kickup.

Re: Kyosho Scorpion on sale at tower hobbies. 189$ shipped
Thank you I'll give that a try. Just to be clear, the bend in the axle will roll forward slightly and be parallel with the frame rail bend? The frame angle is the kickup right? Any link with some photos? Thank you again!
I have the rear suspension on the wrong side of the tower.
