Overview

Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Motor, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

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.

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.
