Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion

[stulec52]

I'll be building mine without the tub.
The way we did back in the day.
Probably just mount a fibreglass sheet across the chassis.
Then for body, maybe a Beetle from TBG or similar

I have a painted tbg beetle body .. Problem front body mount.. Very rare. For rear clip SRB works


and an Unpainted tomahawk with additional parts for a conversion. Even have the rare spot light, mirror, exhaust and window nets. That will come later

I actually do have a spare Tomahawk (Genuine Kyosho) body
But I only have the 1 full set of the parts.
I never thought about the front mount, might just make one.
Or I have a Bolink body that might work too.
heck, I'm sure an RC-10 body of some description would fit, or at least be made to fit.

Why make one.. when you can make 2

Just ordered mine and a couple goodies for it. Got a livery in mind I've been wanting to do for some time now.

Having an issue with the rear suspension arms binding. Compared to my original and it seems to me that the dog bones are a little too long.

Manual has a warning showing the dog bone should be more towards axle. Tried that, no success.

Only solution seems to be to reduce the angle the arms mounts.

Any suggestions?

I had the same binding issues in the dogbone, it was hideous. I loosened all the pivots, and re tightened while holding the arms at maximum toe in, then loosened and re tightened the trans. It's perfect now, no binding at all

This car is really fun to drive. I'm not over powering it, just having fun. Makes me want to get a second and add all the option parts to that. Maybe[youtube]r11Kia8zULY[/youtube]

Great vid, thanks for the slo-mo bits...that Scorpion looks like it handles surprisingly well. What a bargain for just a tad over $200.

[GoMachV]

Or under $200 mine was $190...dealers have room to piddle a bit

Great vid! The shocks look like the ones of old and are hard to bleed, but felt surprisingly good when done! Those gaskets are a pita tho!!

[stulec52]

Yay mine shipped from Tower today.
I'm also thinking of getting some hop ups.
UJs seems like a good idea based on what guys are saying about the dogbones

[GoMachV]

probably wont make a difference. all you have to do is loosen and retighten- no more binding. When the trans is first put in place it isnt centered, if you look at the original manual it even shows that you have to check the centerline.

Cool Video theibault I may have to buy my first kyosho. the only kyosho's I have ever owned are their motorcycles.

[SMOKE-DOG]

Bonzai hobby has the black and red chassis and wing, matte chrome wheels and other parts available. Never ordered from them before...

[scootmike]

Mine came today, WOOHOO!
Just checked Kyosho's site, they have spares listed and a few hop ups, nothing available yet, I'm digging the prices!

That's great news Mike! I would love to see more pics when you guys get them finished. I am anxious to see what electronics people have chose to use. It shouldn't be long and most online hobby shops will be stocking some cool hop-ups and parts.

Loved Theibault's video! Great stuff and a perfect soundtrack
