Kyosho Scorpion - Pepsi Challenger

[SMOKE-DOG]

First upgrade is gonna be the diff. Stock diff is geared and is a heavy 41.5 grams. I replaced it with an MIP super ball diff which weighs only 33.5 grams. Since I had my scale out I lost a few more grams with a Robinson Racing pinion, 2.4 grams vs. the stock pinion at 7.6. I also replaced about half the screws with titanium ones.



SPA 240WS is the power plant

Still need to paint driver. Fun build. Might snatch up another when Tower gets more. Deffinetly need the universals when they come out.

I think those wheels are one of the highlights of this re-re. But then, I've always been a fan of Centerlines.

I am a Mountain Dew drinker (My dentists #1 patient)

Where did you get the Pepsi stickers? I was looking for logo's for RC's and never found a good selection.

I love vintage decals. Been collecting for 20+ years. You can try eBay. Every once in a while you can catch a nice lot for the low.
Still looking for an Autographics 7-11 sheet...
