Was very lucky to end up with this old racer.
One of my favorites for sure.
Jim Schauer's Scorpion with an original Andy's painted body. Haven't seen many that ran the Mip trans.

Looks great! Could we see more pics of that trans? :D
Never knew MIP made a complete trans for the Scorpion, only ball diff!

JG Manufacturing made a mount to use a MIP box on the Scorp. He also made mounts to use it as a lay down style. These pics are a Beetle project I need to finish up one of these days.

I wonder whether you could flip the motorplate and make it a mid-motor?
