I went old school motor, speed control and battery with a late model radio on mine. For the little it will get ran it should be fine. Plenty fast for playing in the street

I do need to play with the esc mounting tho, it is holding the body up a tad bit

So is it actually powerd by a LeMans motor or not?

They saved a lot of money on the decals by dropping that letter lol

Looks awesome gomachv. I see you used the 50th Aniv. sticker too. I just couldn't resist.

It needed something for the front, and most of the stickers were long and skinny. Im having a hard time getting behind the new looking logo too. All in a for a quick spray it was OK but I'll probably grab another body and go for a more 80's red yellow and orange on black theme like the old Simpson jackets

I just ordered one. I can't wait to go back to 1982.

I wanted to pay tribute to my wife and sons birthplace.. Brazil.. Yellow Green and Blue. I almost went with Green body but chose blue instead.. But spare rear lexan wing in Green.

Decals: I have repros from TBG's nephew Nathan.. I plan on using those since it has more sponsors than the re-re decals sheet..

Should have it all together by Monday.

Wasn't gonna, but did; just placed an order with RPP Hobby. Already have a paint scheme in mind, and the tub will not be yellow...

Almost done. At the moment the driver is headless ala sleepy hollow. He is almost finished.

DANG can't wait for mine! These look better every time I see one. Nice inspirational pics Gents! Chris REC

Anyone noticed that in the option list they have two sizes of carbon shock mounts: the regular ones and longer ones for "HG" shocks? The shocks aren't listed, anyone know what they are?

Kyosho uses the term "high grade" with a couple items, perhaps that's where they are going with it

Nice work. I like that you used old school decals on it.

We're gonna need an official Scorpion re-re thread section like the re-re RC10 has.
