New project -
I´ve tried to nail a caged Scorpion many times, allways with a disapointing outcome.
This time it better be right.

Going for simple but functional.

Interesting Dennis, did you use an old ruler for the chassis?

Give him some credit, it might have been a new ruler

Looks too fast for its age! I like it

It was a foldable 90 degree angel, locking mechanism gave up

Lines come in handy when mocking up

This is going to look sweet! I really am digging the low lines of the roll cage!

Thanks -
The cage ended up so low, because I thought it should double as a motor endbell and gear cover protection.
It´s a skinny thing.

Sorted steering, front shock mounts and cross member for battery fixation.

I think you should rename this thread to “The Mighty Scorpion Ruler”

- Stripped for anodizing and cleaned

But what i want to know is ? Does it MEASURE UP !!!! LOOKN wayyyyy coooollll wicckked.don

The NUMBERS are GONE - Thanks Don


Now with shocks and sunlight -

Well, that certainly looks sparkly!

Almost a pity to anodizing it, look’s super as is

Thanks Lars,
I´ve explained myself wrong - I removed the anodizing (Eloxering) with caustic soda and gave it a quick rub over with autosol to shut the porres again. I like it in natural too

Hoping to fit the wheels from Rouge - these ones are on loan.
