Turbo Scorpion 1/10 EP 2WD Buggy Kit - 30616D

The legendary Kyosho Turbo Scorpion returns, blending iconic 1980s styling with modern updates designed to handle modern brushless power.

First released in 1982, the Scorpion series defined early off road racing. The Turbo Scorpion took that platform to the next level, and this modern re-release from the Kyosho Legendary Series keeps the nostalgic aesthetics while completely reinforcing the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain for modern track conditions. It is the ultimate build for vintage RC enthusiasts who want a runner, not just a shelf queen.

With its signature trailing arm front suspension and rugged aluminum ladder frame, the Turbo Scorpion delivers a unique driving dynamic that modern buggies cannot replicate. Kyosho upgraded the key stress points, allowing you to drop in modern brushless motors and LiPo batteries without stripping gears or bending components.

Note: This is an unassembled kit requiring full assembly and painting. When choosing a brushless system, we recommend a moderate 13.5T or 17.5T motor; going too hot with the motor choice can compromise the realistic handling dynamics of the vintage trailing arm suspension design. Use a high quality thread lock on all metal to metal screws during the chassis build.
