Hi all,

I'm thinking that with the extra grunt that I'm going to be putting through my Turbo Scorpion drivetrain, I should look at putting the old gears in a bag and finding replacements of the same pitch or maybe even replacing with a different...

All the talk about Kyosho pulling the plug on any future re-releases convinced me to pull the trigger on another new TS. I reckon this one will go on the shelf.
I really hate all of the uncertainty we're seeing in the RC industry these days. Just...

Hey guys, I picked this up last week from A-main. Using their $30 discount code, I think it was around $225 shipped. I have a new original tomahawk but I bought it basically finished a few years back, so this was my first Kyosho build in my 30 years...

This is definitely my next project!

Only a mock-up for now to test how everything fit together....which is remarkably well. I was able to use existing holes on the rear arm mounting plate for the rear of the cage but they do push the main cage about 1/2 further ahead of the rear...

Thanks. Yes, I figured as much.

I’m debating whether I should enlarge the hole again, or require dismounting the shaft each time I need to remove the wheel.

Thanks to Marvin, here is my latest car to the collection, a Kyosho Turbo Scorpion. All this for $50!!

I doubt it and won't hold my breath. There's probably 50 other cars waiting in line. :lol:

But I'm happy to be proven wrong, given that a lot in his pile are real treasures.
