Kyosho SCORPION

[Bormac]

A while back I went mad buying up whatever Scorpion stuff I could get my hands on. Today Im beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel with the first of a couple of cars Ive been working on. This Scorpion has the locked rear diff and Ive completely ball raced the whole car,put some red Kyosho shocks at each corner and a few other bits and peices. Im still yet to finish painting the driver,tyre letteringwing and fit the electrics too. So far Im happy with this car.

Simply awsome,love the paint scheme.Is this the Scorpion you will be racing in the anniversery vintage meeting Jason?Regards,James.

[bdrmbully]

wow sweeeeeet ride man nice work.do you paint them on the inside or the outside?
not to fond on the rims though.some nice alloy's will do it better justice.

[Mr. ED]

Sweet car.

I think the rims compliment the paintwork and look much more business-like
Getting a bit tired of all those alu rims to be honest.

Are you gonna do one time-tunnel style too? with big volume shocks, wider offset and modern wheels and rubber etc?

[Bormac]

Yes I like the yellow rims too Ed. I think they were always one of the outstanding features of the original Assualt nitro version and when i found a set I knew exactly where they would go.
Ive been a very big fan of the 'Time Tunnel' website and will admit to having looked at those pics over and over again. What an incredible site with so many inpiring creations.
I have a set of Sees alloy rims on my Turbo Scorpion which will get a look in the next week or so.The I will need to decide which car will be getting run at the up coming vintage meet in Sydney. LOL

Thought I'd post the finished product up here. Gee the tyre lettering aint easy!

[bearrickster]

Now thats a nice car!! I love the scale Look. nice job

[call-911]

Now that's pretty!!

[Mr. ED]

oooh, yeah, this'd fit right in on the timetunnel site!

that brushless looks scary with the clip on heatsink.

[JK Racing]

I dont think its brushless....isnt that a mabuchi style closed endbell motor???

[Bormac]

Well spotted. Its a Tamiya Sport Tuned sealed can motor. I think its a 23 turn single wind. They do well for old girls like these. Oh and yeah- MILLER is my favourite beer-

That is very nice coming from someone who has quiet a few. I have one that is like that too. Great Job!

That truly is a nice car Jason. I want to see some action photos, and I want to see them now!

I am partial to the Tomahawk myself. I think it may have something to do with my love for the Super Champ. I have one almost completed, but will not come close to that little gem you put put together! Nice work indeed.

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-
