Thanks man...it's also got a blue front one way and blue aluminium steering arms, upper arm mounts, suspension mounts, rear uprights, motor mount, servo mounts and front body posts. It's loaded!

Oops! I should then call it...

Help @Willy iine! It's flooding drool in my room now. 

Now I got to get myself a Turbo Scorpion.

@Re-Bugged hats off to your new street Bug, what a stunner 🤩👌

Cheers bud 👍🏻 I was hoping to get it running for October Racing by Post but didn’t quite make it.

Been out in the woods and rocks with my Bruiser.

Halloween Style

 

With Friends. They kept up with me, and me with them

 

 

Top Of the climb

 

So, my stronger, longer steering plate on the hub ripped out because the screws were loose. Quite a way from the car. Flipped the hubs and carried on. Ordered Hot Racing upgrades on the trail too.

 

Another moody arty type shot.

 

This lot is playing around at my mates house in the remains of his fire pit. Niiiice and dusty in the summer sun.

Nice articulation on the leaf springs

 

[Willy iine 18804]

That is absolutely awesome, @FoxShot!!  That is some extensive mods you did to get that level of articulation!  Nice work.  

[Nicadraus 6195]

Absolutely the best Turbo Optima Mid I've ever seen inside and out @Willy iine

I love the full CF chassis, shock towers and  color theme of the body/wing is fantastic. Hats off to you once again. Your pretend-rc shop should be renamed to Drool-Maker-Rc shop. 

[Willy iine 18804]

@Nicadraus Haha! Thanks again.   This car was a joy to build the first and second time.  

I will be taking a few weeks break to make more accessories for Willy, and then will work on the Turbo Optima next.  

The LeMans 240S runs exceptionally smooth (almost like a brushed motor) with the XR10, so it is now my go to set up for Kyosho cars unless I want to run their LeMans 490.

Menacing Yaris @Yoshimitsu

Love those OZ wheels.

[Nicadraus 6195]

Love this shot @RC Perspective

@Willy iine 

Absolutely gorgeous! 

Better build and design than the WO. For sure it does perform better as well. But I believe Kyosho was inspired by Tamiya's WO to do this. I desperately need one.

@Xeostar Beautifully done!

The Turbo Scorpion and Wild One were both released in 1985, the regular Scorpion in 1982.

I had to get their Beetle too.. SandScorcher Kyosho version?   

Anyway, I need to stop with the vintage series here as my Akira’s corner display is going to get too big.  

[Re-Bugged 10099]

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the Kyosho Legendaries @Willy iine. I bought a quality savox servo a little while ago with intention of it finding its way into one 😃

Yeah, I think you're right.   Sounds good on the servo!     The 1251MG with short cable I used in the TurboScorpion works fine, but I think next time I'm just going to get the standard length cable servo.. it was a tad in the short side.  

And honestly speaking, the car drives so quirky that I think a  0.13 ~ 0.15 sec range would do just fine.

Another plus for the Turbo Scorpion is it looks fantastic out the box, with all the labour intensive paint jobs I’ve done lately my brain needs a rest 🤣

Haha!  Indeed.  

Those decals were pretty intense on the TurboScorpion.   Honestly MUCH EASIER to probably just mask and paint the blue, imho.   I have a spare body set coming so going to give it a shot in another color for kicks.

Fast forward to 5:28 and this one’s top half is all blue which I thought was smart too..

I have seen two tone red and white as well. 

[Willy iine 18804]

@Re-Bugged That solid blue top looks good with the metallic.  

I think masking the white portion should be a walk in the park..?  I mean the body is pretty much an open tray.. no complex curves or anything.  I was thinking just cutting off the boarder stripes from the decal sheet and applying.  

I guess once we do the Sand Scorcher masking, our threshold for difficult gets a lot higher?

Thanks :-). This Green stuff colour shifting paint is lovely. Going to get a few more colours to try them out.
