If so do they look identical?

You just reminded me.. I have a set of SC-26 NIB.. PM me if you are interested

Probably not until it's exhibited at the trade show. I believe it starts on the 14th. After that you will see it listed on AMAINHOBBIES and Tower

Awesome.... But at the same time it may mean no Optima this year? I hope not.

Can you post a picture of the light pods? I don't have a Facebook account

An Optima re-re would certainly be intriguing, but seems to me Kyosho would really be opening a big can 'o' worms with that one. The Optima was an awesome car, but there were so many weak links that might need to be addressed with a re-re. -Modern slipper gear would be required, as with the Scorpio...

But wait... I read somewhere that the reason for the high prices are: the gear box is now made from forged aircraft aluminium, the gears are light weight and titanium coated running on hollow carbon shafts, new ball diff with ceramic bearings adjustable from the outside, and there is an ingenious sl...

Sneak peek- These will be 12 mm. rear & 11 mm. bearing front for all cars that take 'em, but a special set w/adapters will also be available just for the Scorpion that take stock bearings. 2 tones, shiny & spun center like the kit wheels. To take RC4WD Mickey Thompson MTZ's, or any 1.55 tyr...

Finally Lars speaks.. New Scorpion comes out and you're nowhere to be found..

I saw this picture on the same Japanese blog but can't find anything on JConcepts site about it

I don't read Japanese but this guy has addressed the notchy rear suspension arm movement by doing some filing and spacing.

Well, I kept mine really simple, paint-wise... https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-VC0tbQ8Yqhw/U9WC1el1V_I/AAAAAAAADzw/dCJUla8Ck34/s800/DSCF1221.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6dDRweMMMyM/U9WC5B2GFHI/AAAAAAAADz4/qp8XpDzZ_C4/s800/DSCF1223.JPG ...which is fine, because it won't stay pristine f...

Derlin might be a good idea. I remember Marwan had some Repro clips.. They didn't work so well.. Really hard to do without the right tooling
