First up, my track runner Tomahawk, armed with Le Mans 240 ST, modded to hex hub, using Hobao 1/10 ST wheels and tires, front wheel is Tamiya Wild One's dyed black with Tamiya tires anbd home made front bumper .I believe this runner is of later version, it has the Turbo Scorpion's bigger red shocks, and the single piece chassis support which has a protruding angle to prevent the rear arms' travel, which the older version has the problem of too much travel which can result in dog bones falling out, or this could be a Turbo Scorpion's piece...I have no idea as I got it like this from Ebay. Anyone can confirm if Tomahawk comes in different version?

Beetle, with yellow tub, this is actually a Graupner version which my friend sold to me, it actually came with a black tub that has many holes drilled to cool the electronics, but my friend was kind enough to swap a very good condition yellow tub in the deal. Has the original black tub cover which I'm not what the material is, feels like thick black lexan , or just black plastic.Shell/decal is Marwan's. Hopped with differential, armed with Le mans 240s from my Turbo Optima.

Original Scorpion, i cant remember whether the shell is Kamtec or Marwan's,my memory is failing me.... decal is by Marwan. Has hopped up differential too,original Goodyear tires, used to be my light runner until I fixed up my runner Tomahawk. Armed with an old 480s.Like the Beetle, this one now spend its life on the shelf.

work in progress Tomahawk, this is meant for the shelf, has all the body bits like muffler,window nets,sport light, side mirrors and driver doll. The side mirror is actually 2 right side, with one being trimmed to be fitted on the left , and looks a little weird I think.

just got this turbo scorpion recently from ebay...cost a bomb after shipping to Singapore, I should have studied the pics more carefully, crack chassis with wood blocks glued to it, broken bumper with hole, broken/repaired servo saver,bent chassis,wrong/short metal roll bar, broken/bent plastic rollcage,drilled rear rollcage, broken gearbox,cant believe i paid 300+ sgd for this piece of crap....well enough ranting, i should start to hunt for parts, in need of a new shell,rollcages,metal roll bar,tub,gearbox just to name a few, hope i wont get more nasty surprises when i start working on it....first thing, removed the old
radios and wash the wheels, replaced the rear wheel with a slightly better one that I have sitting in the store room...more pics as i progress.

My turbo scorpion came with a wooden wing holder :shock: so I made one using db01 servo mount as Ihad some spare of it, it sits higher but looks more decent than a wooden one...
