Sucks about the roof panel, I would send him pics, he should replace it. Got lucky and and found an original nip for cheap, remember paying $50 for one a few years ago! Boy how prices sure have come down, it's a great time to be in this hobby. As for JRRC I ended up opening a case, could not get a response from him on a $200 + order, hate to say it but I'm done with him. Have bought a lot of parts thru the years, no more. He made no replies to paypal either so I was refunded in full. What a shame.

Nice work!

That Sidewinder looks great!

Can't wait til they release those bodies!

Well, got my notice from Banzai, all items out of stock They did send my payment back immediately. Guess that it is how it will be until they get more of these parts out.

Apologize to for the hijack, that sucks to offer parts for sale and not have them in stock, guess I will join the club, I ordered the led light kit a couple of days ago. Will be the last time I order from his store.

That is surprising, I agree he should not have listed parts without having them in stock. Hope you get them soon!

WOW, have your parts shown they have shipped? Has Jason given any reason as to why such a long wait? I've ordered a few things in the past and always got them pretty quick.

I sent Banzai a message yesterday asking about stock, they replied back the same day saying they were processing my order and it would ship Monday. Must say I am impressed with the speed of the reply. Will update when I receive notification of shipment. Believe me I would like to see lower prices myself, will have a small fortune in building my full option Scorpion. I'm only going on the fact the Kyosho mentions the "special forming process" for the servo mount and gear box mount. Kyosho really has made the Scorpion re release so much more exciting by offering these hop ups.

We have been playing around with the Cameo, so far so good!

I still have not figured out how to post pics consistently. Here's a link to build I did of a chassis http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=32678&hilit=scorpion+racer&start=15 You can see the CRP under guard in the pics, it uses factory holes with zip ties.

Perhaps they have improved, I sent a couple of questions and heard back the next day both times. I also wonder if they have improved there stock notification, I had a part in my cart for a few days, went to checkout and the part was gone, it was out of stock. So hopefully they have made improvements.

Did you receive a confirmation when you placed your order? Or did they send another confirmation when they shipped? I've only ordered one other time, and everything came as ordered.

don't know, guess we will see, I checked this link http://translate.goo...FXUrXxj_UjGmqFw posted by SupraChrgd82, its listed for $36 there.

Think it may have something to do with a special bending process of the carbon? Bet the carbon gearbox mount will be pricey too.

Good deal! I'm down to just needing a few parts, will then be able to start my full option build. The only option part I won't be using the small bumper, have an old JG red front bumper to use. Plan using a few vintage hop ups like the CRP rear under guard and a JG front under guard.

Banzai just listed more hop ups, can't beat their prices, and with EMS shipping, gets here to the US pretty quick. I just ordered some goodies

Thanks, have seen both of those sites too, can find nothing on shipping to the US. My plan is to wait till Banzai gets the parts in, they are pretty quick on shipping to the US, and have good prices. I'm after all the hop ups, going to cost a mint

Which shops in Japan show the option parts? I have checked Banzai and JRRC.

The HG shocks require the HG shock towers, they are taller than stock. Have the shocks waiting on the towers to be released. It's a waiting game I guess. By the way, those are some GREAT pics love em!!!

Does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to how they are releasing parts, have seen the universals for sale on Jason's site, they are out of stock now. He also has the LED light kit, but no roll cage or light buckets. You would think they would have the HG carbon shock towers out since the HG shocks are available Just makes no sense to me. Wish they would get on with it! I want to build my full option Scorpion 2014!

Anybody holding out for a Scorp, pretty good deal @ AMain right now. $179 shipped using the September Coupon. Couldn't resist ordering another at that price http://www.amain.com/Kyosho-Scorpion-20 ... it/p299276

I wish you luck in finding one, as you know not any easy part to find. I searched forever, seen a couple that had sold on evilpay, finally found mine attached to a buggy, have thought about seeing if I can get some made off of it, don't know if it would be worth it. It's a neat setup, of course would also have to find an appropriate shock, Parma made a nice looking shock back then too, have heard they are leakers though. Have a few of them, need to see if or how bad they leak a ;0

That was my plan, I thought 1 to run, 1 fully hopped up, and now I'm thinking I need a Beetle build

Ha Ha, cool vid, yep you better get a runner body :0, matter of time before it's on it's lid. I added a lot of hop ups back in the day, about the only suppliers back then were Sassy Chassis and ESP, mail order, send a check-money order and wait. Still have a Clodzilla 4 chassis to finish.
