Well this was in the eighties, so I didn't consider the FAV to be a good trade with my Boomerang.

Yeah, I was really dissapionted about the FAV, so I didnt swap it for my Boomerang. Btw : are there any dogbones from any other kyosho kits that fit the scorpion ?

Ofcorse speed depends on motor, but I mean if you use the same motor in the same car you might get quite different speed from the cars. I tried a FAV once and it was much slower than the boomerang with the same motor (RS540). Øyvind Johansen Norway

Which car is the better ? faster ? just wanted to hear what people has to say about this as I've never driven any of the cars. The cars seems to have about the same weight (Scorpion 1680g Frog 1700g).

Anyone got any videos of the frog, except the old Tamiya promotion video.

I'm looking for info about homemade RC cars, technices used for molding of lexan bodies plastic, metal etc.. Øyvind Johansen Norway

That was a very nice car!! I'd love to have one like that, maybe its possible to get drawings of those cars and make one of your own Here are more pics of rouge riders..wonder if the super champ exists as a truescale car.. http://desertdust.homestead.com/24_Racer_p1.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/27_Racer_p1.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/34_Bobby_Ferro_p1.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/74_Racer_p2.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/47_Racer_p3.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/48_Malcolm_Smith_p3.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/44_Malcolm_Smith_p3.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/43_Malcolm_Smith_p3.html http://desertdust.homestead.com/57_Racer_p3.html

It really surprises me that the chassis rails are prone to bending, I guess they dont bend very easily tho. Have you got ball bearings in your Scorpions ? Is it possible to buy new bearings today for them from Kyosho ? Or is eBay the only source.

Well the idea was to replace the whole gear case with the one in the RC10. But as you say it would not look very authentic as the two gear cases are looking quite different. Btw do You know what are the weakest points on the scorpion (think I've heard that the gearbox is not so good) ? Are there any other cars/old cars that can support parts except from the Tomahawk and Beetle. It would be nice to have some kind of crossreference, if someone had used stuff from other cars to fix their scorpion it would be nice to know which cars they got the parts from. Øyvind Norway

Thanks for your fast answer. I just had a look at your cars, you really have a lot of nice cars in your showroom. I espesially liked your old metal tamiya cars and ofcorse the scorpion with all the CRP parts. Øyvind

Have anyone tried to fit a RC10(80's) differential in the scorpion? I was just wondering as I have some old RC 10 parts lying around. After looking at pictures it seems it would fit, but I'm not sure. Øyvind

Does any of these come with differential or ball bearings as standard ?
