RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Hello vintage people...uh I mean people into vintage RC.
I'm a long time lurker, fascinated by your builds and vintage RC in general but entered this hobby 15 years ago so I skipped most of the vintage scene except for brushed motors and nicad batteries. Have a nice collection of new tech cars.
Well I had wired RC cars in my childhood, few of them survived and I wanted one like them but better in every way so I bought a Kyosho Scorpion 2014 because Kyosho was the reason I entered this hobby and the distributor is doing a good job with prices and all, personally I'm partial to buggies like the Turbo Scorpion and the Ultima.
So yeah, the Scorp made me register but the RC10 is what made me stay

Hi 30tooth,

Welcome to the club, there are plenty of great guys on this forum, heaps of information and great cars as well.

Pics of your current cars are always good.

Cheers, Dave.

Cheers Dave!
Working on the pics, have to figure out where to create a topic in the right section because all my cars except the Scorpion are new school.

I would guess you could create a thread in the Gallery section and put pictures of your cars there, and a separate build thread for the Scorpion in the Kyosho section. As you might've guessed, the majority of people here wouldn't get too excited about detailed build threads for modern RC cars.

Cheers I'll do that! Not the modern RC cars because they are already built but the Scorpion I can add some personal touches and maybe making it built thread worthy
BTW, cool Optimas!

Thank you! Be sure to create a Scorpion thread, the re-re is a beautifully-designed car that performs well...and considering the ridiculous price Tamiya is asking for their re-re's (especially since nearly every model shares parts with other models), it's hard to believe it's that affordable. If I had the money, I'd buy one of those and probably do things to that Scorp that nobody's seen before...but this summer, most of my spending money went on a 1:1 car.

Build that Scorp and uniquify it!

You're welcome.
I'm kind of apprehensive, because I don't know what kind of performance to expect from a trailing arm suspension buggy. But it's way too cool to see it work and learning how to set it up.
+1 on the Tamiya re-re, no way I would spend that much when the Scorpion is the lowest priced kit I know of, and the quality is great, parts/upgrades readily available...
I have some ideas, a Turbo Scorpion look alike and a couple of performance enhancements, flaked red paint...

Welcome to the asylum!! Lol!
