I don't have much interest in the Scorpion because it was before my time, RC-wise. I am more of the original Optima and Ultima era. So the Scorpion only excites me due to the possibility that I may be able to buy a re-re rear engine Optima some day.

That does it. I resisted the urge (so far) to buy a re-re RC10 but I'm really going to have to get one of these! 8)

Yeah, I think anyone who watches that video will be hard pressed to resist buying 1 of these things, especially for the price.

ball diff from Ultima can be fitted??
That's the first I've noticed that (in the video)
Any big advantage to fitting that over what the kit comes with (which I presumed was a ball diff anyway)
