Turbo Scorpion: Vintage style with current performance

The Kyosho Turbo Scorpion brings back the celebrated 1982 silhouette while adding practical updates for present-day off-road driving. It keeps the classic essence but upgrades the parts that matter on track.

Chassis refinements and upgraded damping

The vehicle uses a chassis that honors the original design but is scaled for modern components. Equipped with 2.2-inch wheels and 12mm oil shocks derived from Optima designs, the Turbo Scorpion offers improved control and damping across rough surfaces.

Adapted for modern power and handling

Updated to fit current motor and ESC options, the car benefits from a wider front tread and a lengthened wheelbase to give more predictable handling. These improvements suit recreational racers and those testing vintage-style entries on modern circuits.

Authentic appearance, practical tweaks

Kyosho retained the Scorpion's classic body lines while refining details like the roll bar and light bucket placement for better function. The white rear wing completes the nostalgic look while supporting modern performance needs.

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

Whether for track nostalgia or hands-on restoration, the Kyosho Turbo Scorpion combines period-correct visuals with upgrades that make it practical to run alongside modern buggies.

Start with medium oil and standard spring rates. Increase oil weight or spring stiffness for faster tracks, and soften for loose or technical surfaces to improve traction.
Any modern 2.4GHz transmitter with a reliable servo and programmable endpoints will work. Choose a high-torque, metal-geared servo for consistent steering response.
Yes. Its authentic body and styling make it a good candidate for vintage-class events while still offering upgrades that keep it competitive on modern tracks.
Regular checks on shocks, diff oil and wheel bearings keep performance consistent. Inspect metal gearbox parts for wear and replace consumables as needed.
