I believe your rear upper shock mounting is off. The white blocks typically are bolted to the front of the rear tower instead of the rear. That makes the rear shocks incline slightly forward, inline with the direction of the suspension compression. Are you not getting any binding with that setup? Nice looking 10-scorcher all in all.

Very cool! Need a Beetle family photo when you get them all finished.

Like to hear from owners of a Scorpion what their thoughts were...

Buy an RC10, at least AE might support their customers unlike Kyosho who suck at supporting anyone who supports them.
They do? I thought that was only a problem in the early 2000nds when they dropped Great Planes as a distributor...

If it looks as good in person as the it did in the prior photos, I'd say you picked up a pretty sweet ride.
Very cool Scorpion, one of my all time favorites. :D
