VileQuenouille 245 Posted January 29, 2021 It looks great. I like the fact that they include a lot of spare and extra stickers with their kit so you can do your own thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snappy1 964 Posted January 29, 2021 The Turbo Scorpion drives really nice..... I think it’s the extra wheelbase that makes the difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s the extra wheelbase that makes the difference I can't wait to get mine going. I just finished the bodywork and tomorrow I should be done with the chassis. The weather should be rather dry on sunday so fingers crossed. I spent some extra time on the driver so I could paint the cockpit in mate black instead of using the stickers, this way it's as close to box art as I can achieve. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made a ton of mistake on this one, especially with the body. It's the first car I bought when I got back into the hobby, and I wanted to treat myself with a really nice rere, but in hindsight I should have started with something a bit more simple. It drives great though and I don't bash it, I mostly drive it on road or on thin gravel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurboRSR 338 Posted February 10, 2021 @bartman77 @VileQuenouille How much clearance do you guys have on the tie rods for the steering? Almost finished building my Turbo Scorpion now, but the tie rods are nearly touching the frame rails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
