Kyosho Scorpion 2wd Buggy Re-Release

Posted by Tim Mohr on Apr 22, 2014 @ 6:50 pm. Filed in: Kyosho, New Products

After a full week of teasing, Kyosho has released pictures and information on their upcoming re-release of the legendary 1/10 Scorpion 2wd Buggy. While the buggy retains the classic look of the original, it features some upgrades to increase durability. The re-release uses 48 pitch gears and a modern slipper clutch to put the power to the ground, while higher quality shocks and pre-load collars help smooth out the ride. A sealed gear differential and the use of more metal gears help it handle today’s more robust power systems.

The part number for the Kyosho Scorpion is #30613B and it is expected to start hitting shelves this July.
