Kyosho 1/10 2014 Scorpion EP 2WD Electric Off Road RC Buggy Kit

The ultimate revival! Get ready for the resurgence of Kyosho s famous Scorpion! In the spirit of the original but with upgrades throughout!

The legendary Kyosho Scorpion is credited with taking the racing buggy category into the realm of pure motorsports. Even after 30 years since it was first released in 1982, the indelible mark of the Scorpion still exists with its many fans around the world. Kyosho is proud to renew this machine to all its former glory! While maintaining the wild and free spirit of the original Baja buggy style and chassis layout, the 2014 version features the latest in performance technology. It sacrifices nothing in speed and endurance on modern buggy racing tracks. Externally it may look like the original Scorpion with its semi-trailing suspension arms, but the advanced 6061T6 forged aluminium material delivers futuristic levels of strength, rigidity and durability. Following the original design, the Scorpion 2014 features a new two-piece die-cast aluminium gearbox with differential gears. In addition, the included slipper clutch protects the transmission and delivers efficient traction that takes the Scorpion s control feel and durability to a new higher level. Precision 48 pitch gears reduce traction pulsation for direct driving control characteristics. At the same time, the flat under the surface of the countersunk chassis has no protruding screw heads for minimal contact resistance and scraping, resulting in higher durability. Stainless shafts combine with aluminium cylinders in the oil shocks for smooth stroke from top to bottom and running performance worthy of a true racing buggy. Like the original Scorpion, the 2014 version is packaged as an unassembled kit, but nearly all tapping screws and nuts have been replaced with improved lightweight and secure hex screws. From expert racers who knew the magic of the original Scorpion to modern-day racers, discover for yourself why the Scorpion 2014 commands such respect!

The Kyosho Scorpion is back with its stylish, aerodynamic design.

Front and rear suspension arms are made from 6061T6 forged aluminium. There is no higher level of precision, rigidity, durability and lightness. Wide front tread delivers increase driving stability.

Sintered alloy and nylon combine in 48 pitch gears to deliver superior efficiency. Includes two gears for high-speed and low-speed settings. Ball differential is also available as an optional upgrade.

The mainframe, front & rear shock stays and subframe plate are made from 6061T6 aluminium. The underside of the chassis is countersunk for a flat finish.

The oil shocks' aluminium cylinders and stainless shafts produce effective damping and are finished in the original Scorpion’s signature colour caps.

The original style combines with a new pattern on the included high grip tyres. Rear tyres are equipped with inner sponges. Realistic moulded wheels feature a satin chrome finish.
