Turbo Scorpion: Classic heritage updated for racing

The Kyosho Turbo Scorpion resurrects the iconic 1982 look while integrating targeted updates for contemporary track use. It preserves the original character but adopts components that enhance drivability.

Modernised underpinnings and suspension

The chassis retains the Scorpion profile while accommodating modern hardware. Fitted with 2.2-inch wheels and 12mm oil shocks inspired by Optima parts, the buggy gains better absorption and corner stability for varied circuits.

Optimised for todays electronics

Designed to accept current motor and ESC setups, the Turbo Scorpion benefits from a wider front track and a longer wheelbase to steady handling. These changes yield a more confidence-inspiring drive at racing speeds.

Period looks with useful revisions

Kyosho kept the Scorpion's signature body and styling but adjusted functional elements like the roll bar and light bucket locations. The white rear wing maintains the period color scheme while complementing the upgraded chassis layout.

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 is a strong option for those who want authentic styling with the functionality to perform on modern race days, striking a balance between collectability and usability.

Yes, with appropriate tyres and gearing adjustments the Turbo Scorpion can be set up for indoor carpet. Softer compound tyres and lower gearing help with traction and control.
Upgrading to a brushless motor and a quality ESC offers the biggest performance gain. Improved tyres and tuned shocks also significantly affect handling.
The kit offers a manageable build and clear tuning options, making it a solid learning platform for those wanting to understand suspension and gearing basics.
Official Kyosho dealers and authorised parts resellers list common diff and gearbox spares. Check part numbers before ordering to match the two-piece diecast gearbox components.
