Kyosho SCBE?
Kyosho SCBE?
So, what do you do when Losi puts out the spiritual successor to the Axial EXO but your wife won't let you get one? Well you get your Kyosho TKi3 with Tki4 suspension parts converted to electric using a Tekno V4 kit and buy a Losi SCBE body.
It's still in its mockup stage. Need to put a front body post and polish out the Kyosho shocks, paint, and add the Orion R10.1 esc that I got for a good deal. Running a 2s 4wd SCT system to race it in Superlight buggy class; only weighs 5.5 lbs loaded! But, just wanted to share the progress so far. So, is it 1/10 or 1/8?

Re: Kyosho SCBE?
Really nice paint work! Good looking project. I like the look of those frame buggies. Is the chassis rigid enough with no top deck?

Well, we'll have to see when I start bashing it. Still not done though, need decals, lights, esc, polish the shocks, and a wing(something I thought they should have included with the body).rccars4sal wrote:Really nice paint work!

The SCBE wing is actually hard plastic, only problem is, it's black instead of white. (I wanted a white one to replicate a Kyosho Turbo scorpion paint job)yellowdatsun wrote:See if you can find a hard wing for it, instead of lexan.

Re: Kyosho SCBE?
I think black would be better anyways, even though you're trying to replicate the Scorpion. White wings tend to get ugly quick.

Re: Kyosho SCBE?
there should be all kinds of 1/8 scale white wings all over ebay. Might not be kyosho but would do. The white would look good on there I think also. White should look good long enuf to deal with it. Only time I have ever had to change out one of my associated or ofna wings were when I broke them or just decided there were too many that looked like mine at the time and changed color schemes. I like it but gotta wonder myself about what was stated about the strength of the chassis without the stiffeners. Keep us posted...
