Body, rims and tires, motor, shocks, bumper, speed control heat sink, gear diff on turbo, and I would swear I read the rod ends were stronger

Yep, the ball ends are 5.8mm on the Turbo and 4.8mm on the Scorpion. The Turbo's rear suspension plate is one piece and the Scorpion's is two pieces. Chris.

The gearboxes are different: the TS-box has three attach points for the shock tower and a casted ring around the outdrive to prevent dirt getting in behind the gear cower and early versions didn’t have dustcover behind the motor plate. Gear ratio is different. The TS has 10mm shocks instead of 8mm. The lock mechanism for the battery lid is different. The body, roller bar and cage, roof, radio box, wing and wing stay, drive hubs aluminum/steel, motor cover. There are probably more that I have foreseen.

If I remember right, the Turbo had a true differential, where the Scorpion had a spool (locked up solid, no diff).
