I am fighting the urge to buy them, it's not going to well. They need to get the rest of the carbon parts out.
Really have to hand it to Kyosho, if they would have released the Scorp without the hop ups I don't think I would be too excited about it.
Me being a hop up junkie they have me hooked watching for new parts releases.
Raman wrote:Having an issue with the rear suspension arms binding. Compared to my original and it seems to me that the dog bones are a little too long.
Manual has a warning showing the dog bone should be more towards axle. Tried that, no success.
Only solution seems to be to reduce the angle the arms mounts.
Any suggestions?
I had the same binding issues in the dogbone, it was hideous. I loosened all the pivots, and re tightened while holding the arms at maximum toe in, then loosened and re tightened the trans. It's perfect now, no binding at all
I hear a lot of you speaking on that binding issue...
I didn't have that problem with mine at all. I'm curious how you can center the trans when the screws are countersunk. There seems to be only one way to put it on. I'm guessing the step where you tighten the hingepins is being done incorrectly. Maybe?
You'd be surprised how much movement there is when you loosen the screws. I feel like it had most to do with the suspension pivot screws, but if you look at the original manual this is not a new issue

OK, something for all the guys considering the HG shock set. Apparently to use the HG shocks, on the front, you need the longer front carbon shock stays SCW003.
And as Gomachv points out, you need the rear carbon shock stay as well. SCW007

Yep, more parts to wait for
It's a bummer they haven't released more of the hop ups, don't want to start my build until I have all the parts.
I'm really liking the Carbon, hardened chassis rails, and the cnc parts.
Guess it's just a matter of time.

Gotta hand to KYOSHO, they did a great job with the SCORPION, no ones complaining
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 on mine.
I am earnestly waiting on some hopups, the carbon sevo saver bottom mount/plate is a + and a must have in my opinion.

You gonna go for the new version of the transmission?

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Dont worry Scott-Im intending on running this car at the vintage meeting we have coming up on the 22nd of June. I'll probably change the tyres though- :wink:
Ok so I have been really busy with buying stuff from all over the world and usually its vintage Schuey stuff but recently its been alot of Kyosho also.This is the first of a couple of old Kyosho buggies which are on the way.This is just an early...
The scorpion was my first rc. I picked this one up a while back for a pretty penny, around $150 with a badly melted tub and body. I bought it because it came with a truck load of gears, two graupner diffs and some spares.
One of my 3 Kyosho Scorpions. This I won on ebay a few years ago and had to do a little modernization. I changed out the brush motor for a Tekin 17T and proper esc, FASST Futaba trans and receiver and a SAVOC high volt high speed servo. This car...
