Would be something if they re released the Sidewinder since it was a Cox product.
Anybody know if Cox sourced the body and decal and produced the kit, or was it all from Kyosho?
Also wonder if they will go so far as to use the Goodyear tires, always a bummer to find them all cracked up.
WE NEED MORE INFORMATION KYOSHO!!!

There is two different versions of the caster locks that are included SC-4 bag. And I have never broken one of them yet! And if you file a flat spot on the axel, the you doesn't have to tighten it so hard. Another thing people have problem with is the 10mm shock collars that brakes because thy tighten them to hard.

I have never broken one as an adult, because I learned over tightening leads to damage ;). However As a 14 year old boy who owned the scorpion, I broke them frequently because they would move and I would tighten, and then they would break apart. That's why the made the hop up version later on.

I think its inevitable that Kyosho do more than just the Scorpion re-re
My money is on them doing the Ultima seeing as it won the 2WD Worlds

The Optima would have to be a candidate as it was a Landmark car for them

Not so sure on the Mid, I'd love to see it but I wonder if they did which variant would it be?

hmmm, reminds me of several people at AE back in 2009 that said never on a re-re :roll: :? :|

Maybe I need to start collecting money, at least I already know they will re-release that :arrow:
Kyosho said the same to me at RCX :(
So you two are the morons that planted the seed! :P :lol:

Probably :oops:
But I only asked to see if I was safe, never asked them to do it and hate it that they did :!:

Ohhhhh SNAP!!!!

That's gonna be cool! Way different to keep the collectors happy, and a better design for the runners. It's a win-win!

Silver can?
Wonder if that's as much motor as they recommend??
I'm thinking a sweet little 17.5 setup.
I'm down for one and a few parts to build a nice runner.
