Hello and welcome to this Speed Test of my new Kyosho Scorpion Re-release 1/10 RC Buggy. The Scorpion is totally stock. The kit doesn't come with an ESC or motor, so I fitted a spare Tamiya Torque Tuned brushed motor and Tamiya TBLE-02s Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).
My similar Tamiya buggies fitted with the same ESC & motor combination only managed about 18mph. I'm not giving anything away, but I was astounded by how much faster the Kyosho is!!! It may have higher gearing, but somehow it also retains excellent acceleration, too!
I hope you stick around for the fun run at the end where I also track the buggy closely so you can hear the awesome sound the car makes.
As ever, a massive shout out to Rob Brennan RC for filming the test.
Thanks for watching!
About the 2014 Kyosho Scorpion:
Following the original design, the Scorpion 2014 features a new two-piece die-cast aluminum gearbox with differential gears. In addition, the included slipper clutch protects the transmission as well as delivers efficient traction that takes the Scorpion’s control feel and durability to a new higher level. Precision 48 pitch gears reduce traction pulsation for direct driving control characteristics while the flat under surface of the countersunk chassis has no protruding screw heads for minimal contact resistance and scraping, resulting in higher durability. Stainless shafts combine with aluminum cylinders in the oil shocks for smooth stroke from top to bottom and running performance worthy of a true racing buggy.
Like the original Scorpion, the 2014 version is packaged as an unassembled kit, but nearly all tapping screws and nuts have been replaced with the improved lightweight and security a hex screws.
