I have the 1980's Version, still running, love it. Even after 37 Years...

IMO....most RC has lost touch with modeling , this is dope

@bigdaddyd82vapes92 7 жыл бұрын

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Very nice job on the fit and finish!! I'm a late 80's early 90's kid. I do remember drooling over kits like this and begging my parents for one!! Here I am 30+ years later and I'm still drooling!!

Same here man, two of my neighbors had this and the tamiya grasshopper in 88. I always envied them, and I never got one. I have to get one of these, it would make my childhood complete

@Cobrajet1971 6 жыл бұрын

I built this kit last yr, not difficult, but very time consuming. I went with stock appearance as you did. One thing I will say, once completed and held, you know you're holding something of quality, very beefy and tough, unlike my Hornet kit. I love the 80's RCs, but I have to admit, or atleast with the Hornet...it feels as cheap in the hand as did the Nikko Thunderbolt ect...But I still Love them. The biggest upside to the Scorpion is the lack of a hanging gearbox, I'm sure we've all made that walk to take our foot and nudge the ass end over the branch or mound of grass it got stuck on because of said gearbox getting stuck on any and everything with those 80's classics, but not with this model. This is a true sandrail that's all business, no shelf queening for me. It's made to enjoy. The Optima is my next project.

We beat RC 10s with his baby, BUT, if you bent the chassis rails in a crash, you were done for the day. My local hobby shop did not carry parts. I modified the front chassis for this reason and it was bullet proof. One of the best looking RC buggies ever, and a lot of fun to watch my daughter beat the boys with it.

Beautiful! There is no other word for it! I have a Tamiya Wild Dagger from 90's and I drive a lot, wish they do the same like kyosho and re-release it just to leave on the shelf, but this is just a dream haha! Nice one Rich, keep it beautiful like this aways!

But thank you for your wonderful show and site..

James Burrow thanks James for all the nice compliments on the channel. These re-releases effect many people from the nostalgia of the 1980's. I always had my eye on these, just couldn't afford them at the time. Thanks again! And hopefully that Turbo comes soon!

@freewill51 7 жыл бұрын

I want one now. The only thing I want to add to it is the vintage 12" antennae tube that showed it was a "real" rc car. You gotta have that!

Just ordered myself one of these ... had to get it from Isreal as couldn't find any RC stores in UK/EU that had them in stock. Also gone a little mad on some tasty Corally sensored engine/ESC bits, Upgraded ceramic bearing kit, high spec servo and also got a SkyRC gyro to keep things on the straight!! Love my Kyosho models and cant wait for it to arrive.

I wanted one of these in 83 but the hobby shop guy told my parents it was to Advanced as I was only twelve years old at the time and my parents ended up buying me a frog which I look back and I say to myself they made the right choice because I absolutely love my frog but still wish I got a turbo scorpion but a couple years after the Frog I ended up getting one of the original rc10 kits

Just got to be careful with the driveline....this car was designed for brushed/nicd, although it was updated slightly for todays faster systems

@riothero313 6 жыл бұрын

That thing is sexy af. I love all of these re-releases. To me it's like a retro mod. You take a gorgeous machine on the outside and you use modern parts to make it actually usable. Let's face it old cars are slow as fuck, handled like shit, and had horrible fuel economy. Now we can million dollar man them and get the best of both worlds.

Thank you for your great videos! I have just built this excellent kit, which I got myself a few months ago. What a beauty!!! But I noticed one thing in your video. The placeholders (OT210R2) are missing from the upper mounting of your front shock. Are you aware of this and if so why or did you just forget them? Thanks for your answer and greetings from Bavaria ...

Hello, I have a vintage Ultima I would like to update would you recommend a kit like the ep started pack that would work for to update of my Ultima? Thanks I subbed

@TheRCNetwork 4 жыл бұрын

From what I know, the re-releases are made to take today's power systems including the EP starter pack. In other words brushless and Lipo, potentially. I'm not sure on the fitment of those items in a vintage....but I don;t see why the EP starter kit wouldn't fit.

@ravenblack9871 7 жыл бұрын

What is in your opinion the ideal battery for this car in combination with the EP Starter Pack? I just ordered this car and the EP Pack :) Thanks

A slim 2s Lipo will be perfect. Something along the lines of a 4000-5000mah hardcase

Thanks!! My two are coming in the mail tomorrow. It looks like the blue trim sticker and pinstripe is super tricky to put on. do you recommend an experienced person put those on if possible?
