The Scorpion B-XXL GP features the same chassis and suspension components but is powered by a 5.4cc nitro engine over the VE's Team Orion Vortex XXL brushless components. The 640mm long 1/7th scale buggy comes ready-to-run including a 2.4GHz radio system and its 200ml fuel tank allows for running times of up to 15 minutes per tank.

TWINSET Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nice looking shell, but are the wheels a bit small? Reminds me of the JConcepts Bajr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The wheels look smaller in that picture than in others, however, they are a touch small to begin with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCMonkee Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 First thing i thought was the wheels are too small. How long you reckon that rear body hinge will last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 First thing i thought was the wheels are too small. How long you reckon that rear body hinge will last? The hinge point is actually quite tough, but I've yet to really give it a beating, it doesn't roll over at every turn and jumps well, so it's not getting battered every outing.

jony nitro Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nice looking shell, but are the wheels a bit small? Reminds me of the JConcepts Bajr It's got a brushed motor in this, so I don't know what they are trying to sell or show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's got a brushed motor in this, so I don't know what they are trying to sell or show I think it's just a Slash, the guy was merely showing what the kyosho reminds him of in the form of the Proline shell.

TWINSET Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Yes, sorry, that's a Slash - thanks for posting up the explanation Edited April 7, 2014 by TWINSET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I just REALLY don't like the look of that. Really....not. The XXL Buggy looks absolutely lovely, and I want one. But the shell and wheels don;t look as though they actually fit together. Looks like a home-brewed special, but one costing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah that one makes it look more in proportion. Bit marmite on the first pics, certainly looks better with the p/s'd 20% bigger wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
