Thanks for sharing the information, but oh, for heaven's sake why on earth these guys can't do anything just like the things we grew up with, d*mn! I was already looking at the buggy as some cool paperweight. I mean, I knew this was kind of a super long shot but not completely impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted May 21, 2020 The part you have seems to look ok Erich , has the mounting thread been stripped from below?, could you get the thread recut if it is that ? or get the part remade ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted May 21, 2020 Yes, Kev. The piece would look okay to any eye, but it's somehow stripped from below. It was ruined by the original owner, but I've no problems with the man because I got it cheap. It is gutting though to see everything nice and ready to be tested, and then noticing something so small will keep you from enjoying the car. Re-cutting the thread, if possible, would require a thicker screw, am I wrong? If so then I'd have to enlarge the hole on the mount bit. I don't know. I grew up doubting Kyosho's quality, you know you get deceived by the looks most the times. I've worked on about ten different SRB chassis the last decade and never saw anything like this happening, not a single time. By now I'll keep the car as a paperweight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted May 21, 2020 I have loads of spare parts from the re-re Scorpion, including carbon shock towers and an old CRP suspension shaft. If you’re willing to cover shipping from SoCal, you have any parts you want for free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they work, I know I will be able to help @catman79 afterwards to get the one his Scorpion buggy is missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted May 22, 2020 Here they are installed. The outside post is taller - if I recall correctly, Kyosho wanted to correct the rear camber so the pivot shaft is angled. It takes son trial and error to get the posts installed so the angles are correct. These will fit your car. Again, if I recall correctly the major differences in the vintage and the re-re are the trans gears and countersunk chassis screws. All yours Let me know what other parts you need. I have a habit of modifying over 80% of my cars, leaving me with tons of OEM parts that sit in boxes in my closet. I'd like to see someone get some use out of this mess. Have a look at the Rogue Element engraved roof - can you use it? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted May 22, 2020 The old one also has the angle. The outer post is taller. 1 hour ago, SupraChrgd82 said: Thank you! I don't think I need the front bar, fortunately mine is in good condition. Before you mentioned that, I was thinking oh, that custom roof is beautiful. I will send you a message to make contact. And I am happy I will be able to help our other friend with the bit to complete his car. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
