What a nostalgia, the Turbo Scorpion. I had a box like that for Christmas 30 years ago when I was 12 years old. Best gift ever. My big brother helped me finish it. The first test drive was a cold day in January 1986 up in Northern Sweden, -25 degrees C, and one of the front suspensions broke (the plastic got brittle in the cold). Man that sucked. I had to wait weeks to get a new one from Kyosho Japan and it wasn't cheap. After that, I had a lot of fun with that car, racing with my friends. I would really like to re-experience the Turbo Scorpion again, now with my son and starting from the box like 30 years ago. How can I find it? Is yours for sale? Drop me an email on spinguide@yahoo.com if you like.
RispondiEliminahello,
RispondiEliminaKyosho has released the vintage Scorpion (not turbo) some years ago. he is very nice. Maybe you can buy it.
A car like this (vintage) turbo scorpion is very expensive.
