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 famous Kyosho Scorpion and Baja Beetle combined into one legendary off-road machine that became synonymous with electric buggy racing in the 1980s — a name still known around the world today. Now, in honour of the original Scorpion and its many fans, the Beetle makes a triumphant return with the advanced Scorpion 2014 chassis featuring the same basic ladder frame 2WD structure as the original, but with the latest technology and components.
Like the original, the Beetle is packaged as an unassembled kit, with nearly all tapping screws and nuts replaced by lightweight and secure hex screws, making assembly easier and the finished chassis lighter and more rigid.

Aluminium Chassis
Experience the benefits of a lightweight and durable chassis. The aluminium construction, including the main frame, shock stays, and subframe plate, ensures a rigid platform for optimal handling, while the countersunk underside enhances the car's aesthetics.

The Kyosho 2WD buggy range suspension arms are crafted from high-quality 6061-T6 forged aluminium, providing the ultimate combination of precision, rigidity, durability, and lightness. The wide front tread improves stability and control, allowing you to push the limits with confidence.
Die-Cast Gearbox
The Scorpion's two-piece die-cast aluminium gearbox houses durable diff gears and an adjustable slipper clutch for smooth and efficient power transfer. Fine-tune the slipper clutch to optimise performance on different surfaces.
High Efficiency Gearing
Kyosho 2WD buggy range drivetrain features high-efficiency 48-pitch gears made from a combination of sintered alloy and nylon. Two gears are included for high-speed and low-speed settings, while an optional ball differential is available for further customisation.
