not shure on the specifics, but an old tamiya kit would be a good start.

You're thinking of the Rough Rider. The Scorcher had the VW body. Same chassis but the RR had bigger tires. Either one in decent shape costs a fawkin' fortune. Sand Scorcher:   Last edited by microgoat; 09-30-2006 at 06:39 PM. |

I thought Cox made the Scorpion? Guess it was marketed under both names. Quote:

We had 2 of the Kyosho/Cox Scorpions when I was younger. I've still got the bodies and a ton of the parts for them. I'd like to see if I could rebuild one from all the parts we have. I know one of the trannies we have from the Scorpion is in pretty rough shape so I thought about using it for a custom reduction for a scale crawler type build. I'll try to get some pics if I can dig the parts out of the attic someday. |
