Kyosho Scorpion re-release - Shizuoka Show

[percymon]

Got mine this morning..


As much as I try to support UK sellers, when i can ship a single kit half way around the globe, pay UK taxes plus parcel force handling fees and still save over £20, there's something not right.

I'll second that

Hopefully the success of the Scorpion re-release will give Kyosho the confidence to do the Optima
I think the Ultima would be a given too as it won the Worlds in 87

Would be interesting to see if the did the Mid as well

[OptimaFan]

The Mid would be great as re-re, if they keep things like the diff and rear tranny gears fully compatible, but more durable.

I decided to go a little more "Tomahawk" on mine. No permanent mods, bolts right up. I'll have to get a 'hawk body coming but for now the stock body fits great

I took a few liberties, the rch rear tower was melded with the stock 2014 for the third mounting hole and short shock positions. I don't expect to see the CB shocks rereleased, but just in case! Lol

I also ran the servo plate further forward to tie into the front skid plate which i copied in Kydex. The front bumper is a slightly modified copy off an Assault. I haven't had a chance to make the front towers and brace yet

I am liking the blue better

TBG have the Mrp Harris body available. This is mine with the Harris on it in case anyone wondered What the body looked like. I'll post a better pic when it's painted...unless someone buys it first

[Peakey]

Looks good Jeff I like what you've done with the anno
