Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion

[stulec52]

I was just bugging the kyosho guys at rcx about how hard it is to get their product. I think its because of my comments that they are selling stuff through tower again.

Oh what?
Tower have it for pre order too?
Sorry A main I need to cancel.
Tower club shipping deals and their good discounts, + I can order some lipo trays for my Lazer at the same time means they get my money.

Exactly.
Been down with Tower forever. Now I can get that ZX6 on easy pay when it comes out. I also recently discovered Tower now sells rc4wd stuff too. I'm a happy man right now.

A main now have the release date listed as 7th July.
I can wait that long.

Wonder what spares availability will be, I have a couple of runners that would like some new parts

I was wondering the same thing. It would be nice to walk in the LHS and pick up an extra set of tires and shocks.

Would anyone know which Tamiya paint would match the tub & wing? I would like to just paint the body and be done with the paint, keeping the tub & wing original.

I am guessing either PS-6 (Yellow) or PS-19 (Camel Yellow).

I have some old school electronics I will try using for mine (Cox/Sanwa ESC & Servos) and maybe a LeMan's 360ST.

The camel Yellow is too orange in my taste - I painted a Turbo mid with that colour, and the result was more orange than yellow

This is a pic of a vintage Scorpion, So I don't know how close the tub colors are to the new one, but the yellow body doesn't seem to go well with the tub (It looks more orange) as you said.

The Camel Yellow is what is used to get the closest match to the original boxart RC10 orange. PS-6 Yellow is the only solid yellow Tamiya sell.

Do you think the PS-6 yellow would be the closest match to the new Scorpions tub and wing?

No one is going to be able to tell that until someone gets a Scorpion in their hands and paints it.

The box art paint scheme has to be the most unimaginative one around. All yellow is just dull

No kidding. Even the Marui Hunter and Tamiya Frog had 2 colors...in a tie for the second-most unimaginative box-art paint scheme.

[TM Ru22311]

Each persons tastes are different....guess that is why paints come in various colors

This is "box art"
