Very nice, what color are you thinking about for the body

Jim

I have 2 that are Yellow and Black, a Tomahawk and the regular scorpion which match so I was thinking of making the set.

All 3 the same paint scheme.

Not sure though, the body is new clean and car is amazing looking so I don't really know. Will put the wheels on it and then post the finished product.

I would be tempted to leave it like it is, but that is me. Sweet looking car and welcome to the board.

Mr Kyosho scorpion kid... its an ok set up there. Now u just have to give up some to me!!!!

Very nice. I like it. How well does potmetal polish up? I wish I had one of those cars. They are classics.

Hello Franko,
Very nice looking Turbo Scorpion you have there (I posted some pics up recently of my Scorpion Beetle with the Kamtec beetle body on the beach). I have another Turbo Scorpion with Kyosho Pulsar radio waiting for a rebuild/clean/polish job. I have another 3 on their way to me from around the world too. Can you give me any advise on how to get the cast alloy parts cleaned up so nicely?? Does anyone make a repro 'Turbo' body??

Hi

I use Mothers Aluminum Wheel polish, if it contains scratches then sandpaper - depending on how deep they are use whatever you need to get rid of them and use fine to smooth it out.





Hope that helps
Franco

I dont suppose you might have a spare battery door you might consider selling? Or to push the friendship a Turbo Scorpion lexan body and rollcage set??Ive got a couple of cars that need these but would be happy to find anything at all.Cheers-Jason

i've been trying to push my friendship with Franco for a while.....
