Scooby Horton Edition Scalpel conversion
Designed by Javier ‘Scooby’ Horton, produced in cooperation with Skyrocket Racing and Brown Engineering, the Scooby Horton Signature Edition Scalpel claims to be a game changer. It brings the stability and predictability of a 1/12 scale pan car to the 1/18 scale direct drive world. This conversion kit consists of a new 6 cell chassis that extends the wheelbase to 150mm, a larger more consistent center shock, custom side dampening tubes, a redesigned upper pod plate, angled servo mounts and redesigned fiberglass t-bars, this conversion provides a comprehensive performance increase to an already potent micro pan car. The tunablility of this kit makes it at home on asphalt or high bite ozite. Running Skyrocket batteries Scooby used the pre-production version of this kit to take the Micro Great Lakes Challenge Pan Car stock class at Hobby Stop West in Toledo Ohio, by a whopping 3 laps. There are 3 versions the 6 cell chassis, and the Oval chassis, both of which are available now. The Lipo chassis version shown in the photos is in the final stages of testing and will be debuting very soon.

Who is Scooby Horton? You’d think they’d pick someone known to sell the product.

Scooby is a very devoted racer. Very Very fast!! One of the fastest drivers on the East Coast. He specializes in micro, mini electric and 1/10 nitro. Excellent in car set-up.

Slick, why does it always have to be a “Known” individual to promote a product? Often times a ‘Known” individual is simply a poster child to get “followers” to BUY the product. At times that “Known” individual is only rented out to do and say. Scoob is a blue collar every-day racer that runs on RC Racing scales high & low…From the large company sanctioned events to the small club, parking lot races, Scoob runs em all. If you ever run into him or race against him, you’ll know why this company used his talent and R&D knowledge.

Those of us that race in the Mid-Atlantic states know who Scooby is… Intensely dedicated to what he does, and an exceptional driver as well. If this car begins to sell well, a lot more of you might learn who he is – probably the hard way… :)
