mongoose1983 3335 Posted April 12, 2021 Quick question. Do the new rear axles for the Kyosho Scorpion fit the original early 80's version? You all have a good week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5316 Posted April 12, 2021 I think so...? They still take 6mm bearings, and are the same length. But the re-re uses screw-in pins to hold on the drive washers, like a modern buggy, instead of the press-fit ones on the originals. So if you get the axles, you need to get the drive washers and screw pins from the re-re as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted April 13, 2021 Thanks Mark. Other than that, I doubt the new differential would fit in any way inside the original gearbox, perhaps the gears don't mesh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, but they did sell an entire retrofit gearbox just for the original cars. I don't know how available it is now, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
