Kyosho Turbo Scorpion re re

[SWF]

Well I bought this following a wine fuelled watch of a Tomley video.

 

It was a fun build and appears great quality. Fully intended to keep it as a shelf queen as it looks so good, imho, but couldn’t resist a quick try, as you do?

 

I have to say that it drives really well. The soft trailing arm suspension takes bumps superbly and it took several quite hard bumps and tumbles with ease.

 

Too much lifting paint in the shell (poor workmanship by me) and scratches on the roof to be a shelf queen now, so a basher it is! 

 

Running a Surpass 3600kv/Max10 combo on 2s and 3s with the high gear ratio installed. It needs a little gyro assistance on 3s but probably about perfect on 2s.

 

I’m not sure if I need to get the Beetle version to keep it company now, haha. Maybe with higher kv but lower gearing to get some wheelie action.

 

These are proper fun!!!

Looks proper cool, bet it shifts with that brushless motor in there.

Thanks!

 

It certainly moves some.  Similar performance to our EMB-T but does it in a crazy fun way.
 

You wouldn’t want it too tame though, would you?

Very cool 👌

Certainly with this one, the quality is great.

 

The drive is great fun too!
