Yeah, they're nice, but not $40+ nice. I think he would move a lot more of his inventory if he lowered those prices a bit. I just like them for the simple fact that they clamp on instead of a set screw grinding into the finish and aluminum! I think another reason his prices are high because there is...

Hey guys. Haven't updated lately as I haven't really done much this last week. I really am fond of Pargu's shock collars found Here But I think they are a little pricey :/ Would anyone know of any similar to these? Perhaps cheaper ones that are plain aluminum with no anodizing. If I refinish my orig...

Welcome 2by6 Yes, please post pics of your Scorpion. There are plenty of helpful folks here that will assist you with your NEW vintage project.

I am going to fabricate a switch fixing plate myself (The 90 degree piece that mounts the servo switch to underneath the RC unit plate). It is part #116 and is included in SC-73. If anyone has pics of the original, would you be so kind to post them for me? The only pics I have found is the one in th...

Well, this one will have to do for now. Since it is for the shelf, I am more concerned about looks than performance. The motor runs great it just has a little rust going on. I never heard of the aluminum foil/coca~cola trick before. You just mix it up and dip the rusty part down in it? I know Kyosho...

Got a lot done this weekend and some nice parts :) http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/ae206/hiddenrebelbase/Kyosho%20Circuit%201000/DSC03553_zpsf6aee727.jpg Anyone know how to get the ugly off that motor? http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/ae206/hiddenrebelbase/Kyosho%20Circuit%201000/DSC03552_zps3e...

Check further down, there are shock bushings.

I am lucky I found you guys. It was a strange stroke of luck that I did!

Would any of you know where to get some rubber bushings for the shocks? Maybe a part # for a brand that fits. I seen a set of 4 for a Scorpion listed on eBay for $17.95....there has to be a cheaper alternative. Going to be getting my shocks, motor and wiring soon. I think the funnest part of this pr...

Well, I have ordered my swing shaft arms from a German eBay seller, but this one looks complicated: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Graupner-Kyosho-Scorpion-Getriebeabdeckung-Nr-4966-36-Raritat-OVP-NEU-/351031098543?pt=RC_Modellbau&hash=item51bb157caf _____________________________________________________...

Thank You KSK! I have contacted the seller about shipping to the States....fingers crossed! Just noticed it is an auction :/ I will give it my best go, lol Dang, another issue is I don't see PayPal on that auction (Only cash on pick up and CreditPlus???). Waiting to see what the seller has to say, b...

Got a reply from RCScrewz today and they said the 2 "Missing" flatheads are on the way. Now whether they will be the correct size or not is a different thing, LoL. I have decided if these don't fit, I am getting a 2.5mm tap set and be done with it. It seems 2.5mm bolts are far more common ...

These are the closest sized screws in the kit (there are 4 of them). You can visually see the size difference in the pic. It is very loose in the upright...way too small. http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/ae206/hiddenrebelbase/Kyosho%20Circuit%201000/DSC03519_zpsd1a6ce56.jpg http://i972.photobucket...

Yeah, I know you said that and I believe finding them will be a challenge. Did you receive the ones you ordered? Wondered if those were the right ones. If I was that guy and I couldn't find "Exact" matches, I would go with the next biggest size and include a tap in the kit. I have been to ...

Received my Tomahawk screw kit from RCScrewz and NO flatheads!!! :evil: :x WTF?!? I noticed the price of these kits are $29.95 (Plus Shipping). I am greatly regretting not taking Lars' advise and just getting an original screw kit from eBay for $35! :( I guess you live and learn. I have contacted th...
