Sand scorcher 1979 and still die cast.
Beetle 1983 and now forged T6061.



Wow Ron. Just...wow.

The first time I laid eyes on the kyosho beetle, I fell in love, I don't have a scorp or tomahawk, find the design of the body to refined and designed purely for speed and performance whereas the beetle is all beauty, that round body with the round headlights, just gorgeous, the tires compliment th...

Wow these are really beautiful. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh59/edirtysicks_photos/3E1FC95B-9732-4552-845E-94748898D710_zpsfelctfv2.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh59/edirtysicks_photos/0C0D6094-E95A-4462-A3C4-D28BD96B6199_zpsqtdosgtc.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh59/edir...

Whoops had the rear suspension on the wrong side of the tower on this build too!

Easy fix.

Thank you I'll give that a try. Just to be clear, the bend in the axle will roll forward slightly and be parallel with the frame rail bend? The frame angle is the kickup right? Any link with some photos? Thank you again!

I have the rear suspension on the wrong side of the tower.

The slop in the front swing arms makes me sad

I got as far as getting the box opened. I...um...didn't tell my wife about this one.

I love the scorpion so much I wanted a partner for it. This just arrived. I plan to pair these with identical electronics (GoolRc 3100 combos) and sand drag race them through camp in one of my favorite camping spots in the Mojave Desert. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh59/edirtysicks_photos/4E8...

This sucks I just finished my scorpion can I run it next month?

Kyosho Tomahawk

For now i went with a Aurora 14-2 brushed and a castle sidewinder 3. It is insane lol. The manual calls for a 30 turn. I used castle link to dial it down. I ordered one of these we will see how it goes. :-) http://www.amazon.com/GoolRC-Sensorless-Brushless-Electric-Controller/dp/B01CCRZD1Y Thank you...

The 14-2 on a 2300 mAh 30C lipo dialed down to 75% using castle link is still stupid fast but controllable. The ESC doesn't even get warm. I really like it. Can't wait to hit the sand. Leaving this here for when it comes back in stock http://www.amainhobbies.com/rc-cars-trucks/kyosho-scorpion-2014-h...

Continuing with my retro/modern mix I decided to throw in an Aurora 14-2 brushed 540 and a Castle Sidewinder 3 ESC. The first run had me singing 1987's Speed Demon by Michael Jackson. LOL I just plugged it into the castle link and dialed it down to 75%. I forgot to glue the tires :lol: I don't want ...
