Turbo Scorpion: Classic roots, refined for today

The Kyosho Turbo Scorpion revives the look and feel of the 1982 original while integrating sensible performance upgrades. The model balances vintage character with components that suit modern off-road driving.

Strengthened layout and modern suspension

This revision uses a chassis that retains the Scorpion silhouette but accepts contemporary hardware. With bigger 2.2-inch wheels and 12mm oil shocks influenced by Optima technology, the car gains improved ride control and stability on uneven surfaces.

Built to accept current electronics

Updated to house modern motor and ESC combinations, the Turbo Scorpion benefits from a wider front track and a stretched wheelbase for steadier handling. These refinements translate to easier cornering and more predictable lap times.

Heritage styling with functional updates

Kyosho preserved the Scorpion's unmistakable body shape while refining practical elements like roll bar and light bucket placement. The white rear wing echoes the classic palette while enhancing the overall package.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Motor: 540 class motor required
  • Wheels: Modern standard 2.2 inch
  • Suspension: 12mm oil shocks
  • Gearbox: Two-piece aluminum diecast with gear diff

The Kyosho Turbo Scorpion suits hobbyists who want a period-correct look with the capability to run on modern tracks, offering both display appeal and practical performance.

Basic RC tools are enough: hex drivers, small pliers and a hobby knife. A torque driver and threadlock are useful for metal parts.
The design accepts modern shocks and wheels which improve robustness. With routine maintenance and correct setup it performs well for regular club running.
Start with conservative gearing for a 540 motor to balance acceleration and motor temperature, then tune depending on track layout and tyre choice.
