I have an original AND a re-release. I agree they are great looking. My re-release I picked up already built, but I don’t really like that it has so many decals. So, I’ve grabbed a few other option parts to try, including different coloured tubs, even a beetle body. However, I think I’m going to set it up with some carbon parts, including a flat chassis plate, and stick a Tomahawk body on it. Probably a 13.5 brushless setup, and then give it a run out at my local club. I could talk for a while about the rail chassis cars, but suffice to say, they are superb 🤩

This was my first new purchase Vintage Re-Re and besides just how cool it looked the fact that Kyosho updated it without really changing the look of the original was a major reason I went with it. I intended to drive it for that full experience, not just build it and stick it on a shelf. I have run mine on 3s and mild 21.5T brushless power. I highly recommend getting the rear universals I also got a set of Lunsford turnbuckles the optional motor plate and a few other goodies. I also picked up a set of F&R street tires as well as a set of rear sand paddle ones and a second set of wheels. The decals and servo saver were my only difficulties (that spring is tough 😂) but I loved how they precut the decals if I had the paint skills I definitely would have opted to paint the blue 🤙 Happy for the new Channel I’ve never been a hardcore Tamiya guy I was always a racer back in the day nowadays it’s fun to try and get those RC’s either I always wanted but couldn’t afford or get the opposite of what I raced back in the day just to experience the other side as well as those cars I probably never should have sold off

Loving the new channel and looking forward to seeing more non-Tamiya cars. I generally prefer the slightly later cars as those were what I saw being raced as a teenager (CAT XLS, Egress, Avante, Optima Mid, etc). Most of the older or cheaper stuff does little for me however this car is really stunning and it grew on me every time I saw it until I had to have one. The new deep dish rear wheels, beefier shocks and more realistic looking driver gave the appearance a nice lift too.

I had the original Kyosho Scorpion but I sold it. I wish I had not sold it. I sold it to someone in the UK, and he was happy. However, the name on my car was not Kyosho on the box. It was the Cox Scorpion but it was made by Kyosho. I think that Kyosho was not known in the USA so they were sold under the Cox brand. In fact many Kyosho products were sold under the Cox brand. I did buy the Kyosho re-release Scorpion. I bought all of the hop-up parts that Kyosho makes including the LEDs. I like the car. The bottom loading dampers are not good so I bought some Kyosho, top loading dampers. That was a good improvement. Thoughts?

I want to save it for a few specific races, like the Hank Perry 240, which started in 87, the year the original came out... The wheels for this Turbo Scorpion kit are 2.2" ... which is nice to be able to get extras and fit modern tires from JConcepts or Proline....

I came here by accident, because yt knows I'm thinking about getting a Turbo Scorpion for a while now, so I may not know you mean a special FAV... :D But, I owned a FAV and did what I never did with a RC car: I sold it, after a short time too. :/ It's a really pretty Buggy, but even with upgraded shocks (RC4WD old man emu are fitting) the driving is very underwhelming. Both offroad and onroad (with F1 tires conversion ^^) I only had a brushed cup machine in it, but even this thing brought the chassis to it's limits. It's more a fun scaly cruiser than for fast driving I'd say. My guess, and from what I have seen in videos, the Turbo Scorpion is waaaaaaay better in this regards.

Hi Glenn, good to see you doing this channel and doing other brands. I like your wing it approach to a lot of your videos but I think with some stuff a bit of added research would be useful. For example if you are going to mention the turbo vs standard Kyosho range then I, (and maybe only me so it doesn't matter) would like to know the specific differences between the standard Scorpion and the turbo version. Maybe not vintage as that could be conjecture because as we know Kyosho are doing brilliant job of updating their models. Knowing the differences between the legendary series would be good if you are specifically mentioning it. For example it might have a longer chassis, thicker track rod ends, a superior differential, etc. If I am asking too much I apologise but it is only because I expect a lot from you Sir because you are blooming brilliant. :-) If your answer is compare it yourself then fair play :-)

@@RCLegends2022 Haha, good little sporting kick at RC Kicks there. Hey if you really want to take Gavin on perhaps start talking at 100 mph too. I bet he loves the banter really. :-) I totally agree with your reasoning Glenn and yes you stay as you are and your authentic self. If you know it, you know, if you don't you don't. I get your point. To be fair if you had a go at quantum physics I'm sure a lot of us would still watch. People bang on about USP. Well my friend you have P&P and it isn't postage and packing. It is passion and personality. That's why I watch, that's why I will continue to.

I really like this kit. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it :) I used to have a standard Scorpion and it handled really well. I drove it on the massive long stay car park at Charmouth beach and it was so much fun. Until I ripped a tyre off :D

Great video Glenn! -I wouldn't mind the original Scorpion for my collection :) -looking at those new Rims in the Turbo re-re kit, I'm wondering if Kyosho are giving you the option of painting a portion of them black? - to imitate the original high profile tyres? -sure I've seen that done somewhere ...

Hi Glenn! Congrats on the new channel. The decals are difficult to completely seal down. My Beetle 's decals (in places), have lifted!! I have again in places painted parts on the outside and it looks (imo) a lot better!! You will love the build and it is a really quick build. Please check my kit here my friend! Cool video as always my friend. You will always have my support bud!!

These Legendary series kits are miniature works of art. The OG Scorpion kit isn't as good as this one, the red shocks that come with this kit are far superior to the smaller bore silver shocks, which leak badly no matter how you build them. I have one of these in the box, and a built Scorp and Ultima(with the nice red shocks!) I felt the original Scorpion needed some extra character so I added a couple of tapered chisel nosed stripes down the front of the body from the forecastle to the nose, made it look sharp!

I have the original Kyosho Turbo Scorpion and Ultima, both NIB. Are they worth a lot more than the re-releases? I bought both of them when they were on clearance sales back in 90's and never built them. Just need to bring them home across the ocean, though (still sitting in my parents' house in Japan).
