Scorpion legacy updated - Kyosho 30613 returns

The Scorpion has long been a go-to for fans of classic buggies, and the Kyosho 30613 revival keeps that heritage alive. With roots in the early 80s, this latest edition merges recognizable lines with upgrades tailored for current off-road driving.

Timeless silhouette, strengthened structure

This release retains the semi-trailing arm suspension look while introducing 6061T6 forged aluminium parts to increase torsional strength and resilience. The robust two-piece die-cast aluminium gearbox, complete with differential gears and a slipper clutch, adds protection and better traction control when pushing hard.

Components tuned for predictable handling

Precision 48 pitch gears reduce drivetrain fluctuations for a more direct throttle feel. A countersunk chassis underside decreases ground drag and improves longevity. The oil shocks use aluminium cylinders and stainless shafts for consistent damping and come fitted with the Scorpion-style colour caps.

Kit building and initial setup tips

The buggy ships as a kit to assemble, with the gearbox and oil shocks already pre-built to speed progress. Included items like the clear polycarbonate body, decals and basic tools make the first sessions straightforward. The wide front track and grippy tyres help the car maintain line on rougher tracks.

If you enjoy period styling combined with parts that stand up to current off-road demands, the Kyosho 30613 is a satisfying kit to build, tune and run.

A competent hobbyist can assemble the kit without assistance. The pre-assembled gearbox and shocks reduce complex steps, but allow time for careful electronics placement and wiring neatness.
Choose tyre compounds and tread suited to your track - softer compounds for loose or loam tracks, firmer compounds for hard-packed surfaces. Front and rear sizes are standard and allow a wide choice of replacements.
Yes, the chassis accepts 540-class motors including some brushless options. Ensure your ESC and battery dimensions are compatible with the battery tray before purchase.
Regularly check gearbox lubrication, shock seals and slipper clutch adjustment. Replace worn tyres and inspect suspension pins for play to keep handling predictable.
