The complete set will take care of the entire truck’s suspension, steering, and panhard link and it is available in a range of colours including black, gun metal, red and silver. For those that are building a custom rock crawler, monster truck or a new scale rig, these new links are also available in pairs separately.

Kyosho reveal more Turbo Scorpion re-re images

Kyosho Taiwan have released first high resolution images of the forthcoming Turbo Scorpion re-release 1/10th 2WD buggy kit. The latest addition to the Legendary Series of 1980’s kits is based off of the standard Scorpion but it features a white colour chassis tub, red body aluminium shock absorbers and larger wheels and tyres that seem to accept modern day 2.2″ tyres. Like the other Legendary Series buggies the kit will also feature updated suspension parts, modern 48 pitch gears and an upgraded transmission with slipper clutch. So far nothing is known about the vintage-looking Le Mans 240  brushless motor shown in the images. It may be included or available as upgrade but all information should become available in time for the release that is expected to happen in November.
