But I'm on the fence. In the videos I've seen on youtube looks like the car has a tendency to understeer, and one comment was that it was nose heavy in flight.
Like to hear from owners of a Scorpion what their thoughts were...

Buy an RC10, at least AE might support their customers unlike Kyosho who suck at supporting anyone who supports them.
They do? I thought that was only a problem in the early 2000nds when they dropped Great Planes as a distributor...
What has happened over the past thirty years with the Kyosho Scorpion?
For the moment I’m (was) the “lucky” owner of two NIB Kyosho Scorpion’s that differ thirty years in age. So I'm going to build the new one, and compare the parts with the old...

This is a really nice write up with the comparison of new and old parts. I must add one of these to my wish list. :wink:
I got a reply from Tower saying basically that until they know what sort of demand there would be, they won't actually be stocking spares (or indeed hop ups) for the Scorpion.
So, this started my search for where to get them.
So far the only...
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Scorpion. I'm curious what the tire options are that are available, and who has them. Are they a 1.55 ? I'm looking to throw some paddles on the rears, hopefully the Sand Scorcher paddles. Thoughts?

The Sand Scorcher Paddles and Hornet spikes will fit on the scorpion wheels, you just have to leave out the outer ring and glue them on. I raced with the Super Champ/Hornet spikes on my scorpion back in the 80s.
Hi guys. I searched, and cant seem to find.. How did you guys make the rear suspension to not be a sticky notchy? I loosened everything up, and tweaked it, but it keeps tightening up all sticky and notchy.
Also, Ive got my front shock towers...

Allright, I had the short side hinge pin holder upside down for 1 thing. Ive got the axle lock mostly reduced, and I think with running it will wear in just fine.
Still,, hows everybody dealing with the front shock towers fit on chassis rails, and...
I asked around my lhs and it seems he can get me a good deal on the scorpion re re.
so i was wondering ..this question to those of you who bought and ran it. Could it take the power of a 10.5 brushless ? Are spurs easy to get. is it possible to use...

Chassis rails are still probably the weakest structural point of the car and won't hold up for long on modern track jumps.
My other major concern though would be the Scorpion's driveability at the speed of a 10.5T brushless. The Scorpion was nimble...
I hope Kyosho doesn't ride on the coat-tails of other brands introducing re-releases of their iconic cars, but if they do, which car should be their first? Optima? Ultima? Turbo Optima Mid SE? Something else?
I'd have to say the Optima, as long as...

I vote for something easier to crank out. How about a 4wd pan car, fantom? Or take the initial Tamiya route and bust out some plastic fantastics,, like the shadow or raider. I think though, that Kyosho is content with making entry level stuffs with...
