To be honest, I'm not much impressed. Anybody can paint a body to distinguish something from box-art...very little modding or upgrading going on with Tanatwo's build. With a re-re build, there needs to be something unique happening or it's just another commonplace build. Like SMOKE-DOG's mod of the slipper gear...that alone makes his build compelling.mugenbulldog wrote:The side-by-side photos with the original are just OK.

Smoke-dog replaced the stock diff and pinion with RR parts, don´t think he touched the slipper.Coelacanth wrote:To be honest, I'm not much impressed.

Tanatwo is one of the best, IMO, when it comes to Kyosho paint jobs.

Re: ReRe Scorpion build pics
I like Tanatwo's work. I think I may swap the radio box for a black or red one too. Super easy mod to stand out from all the yellow.

Re: ReRe Scorpion build pics
I don't really consider that "modding", but I respect your guys' opinions.

Kyosho America has the boxes too along with a few other hop-ups. Post a pic of your Scorpahawk when you're finished.gomachv wrote:

Re: ReRe Scorpion build pics
What extra parts would be needed to make a Beetle from the 2014 Scorpion? Other than a body and some fantastic yellow rims, would it be just the front body mount?

remove the diff and put a spool in there insteadTM Ru22311 wrote:What extra parts would be needed to make a Beetle from the 2014 Scorpion? Other than a body and some fantastic yellow rims, would it be just the front body mount?

You need the beetle roll bar and a dust cover for the radio tub too.TM Ru22311 wrote:What extra parts would be needed to make a Beetle from the 2014 Scorpion? Other than a body and some fantastic yellow rims, would it be just the front body mount?

Re: ReRe Scorpion build pics
Had a little time today to play with fitting some repro pieces.
Rch shock tower melded to stock ReRe- adds the third trans mount bolt and short shock ear (until they ReRe the Cb shocks lol!)
Tomahawk radio plate
CRP skid plate
Kyosho Assault style bumper
I still need to make the servo mount plate that will connect the pieces nicely and the tall front towers.
