So the Kyosho Turbo Scorpion is complete and was a fantastic kit it is.
There will be some sort of build video for it eventually but in the meantime here is a run video including a speed test. It has a 3421kv brushless set and I built it with the lower of the 2 gear options (8.3 : 1) available in the kit so it would probably go a bit faster with the 6.9 : 1 gear option.
I was worried that the brushless set would be too much for the chassis to handle but it runs really well. I have to say that this is not only fun to drive but also a really tough little buggy. You will notice that it turns over a fair few times and the only thing that has happened so far is that the axle came out of the steering knuckle. This is the same as happened on my Tamiya Brat and the solution is just to put threadlock on and press it back in with a wrench.
Big thanks to Pete at CW-01 Creations for getting me the kit.
Thanks for watching :-)
