Box stock except bearings
Oil shocks on order
"Torque Tuned" motor
TBLE 02 ESC
Repurposed radio gear from a Red Cat Scout
3S lipo from RC plane (only 10C, ~13 years old

I was pleasantly surprised with the performance.

Still have some minor things to do- body trimming, ride height, wheel swap...

Had a couple days of down time since I broke a coupler on my machine so I built up a kit from the stash. I didn’t really want the rally look but I liked the idea of a new 4x4 platform so I built it up as a street version. The chassis is interesting...

My very first surface RC was the Tamiya Sand Scorcher, ordered from Tower Hobbies catalog around 1979 or 1980. It was built box stock and finished box art except that I replaced French Blue with Orange. Fitted to the...

Just a pretty much stock King Blackfoot with a Monster Beetle body painted by a good buddy of mine in a Sand Scorcher theme. It has a Tamiya Sport tuned motor, DTX-4 ESC, and TXT-1 shocks and chrome King Blackfoot Rims with Pro-line Moabs. My buddy...

What makes the king blackfoot opposed to a standard blackfoot?

Almost everything.

Where does the Beetle fall in the Scorpion-Tomahawk-Beetle spectrum? It wasn't on my radar at all, but a NIB re-re popped up for sale locally for a fair price.

Is it literally a Scorpion with a Beetle body?

As for the Turbo Scorpion, I don't think that there are many mechanical differences between them. At least,...

Some of you that have been around awhile might recognize this one. I have been looking for a Scorpion for quite some time but up to now I have not been able to find one that didn't need a complete restoration and/or was priced astronomically. I saw...

Last post

I've seen this on the forum before..., & on eBay a short time ago...

Very cool Scorpion, one of my all time favorites. :D
