Turbo Scorpion: Retro character, modern engineering

The Kyosho Turbo Scorpion is more than a nostalgia piece; it bridges classic styling with current performance upgrades. First seen in 1982, the Scorpion helped define off-road racing. The Turbo Scorpion keeps that spirit alive while adding practical improvements for contemporary hobbyists.

Updated chassis and suspension

The core of this update is a chassis that stays true to the original silhouette but accepts modern parts. Fitted with 2.2-inch wheels for improved traction and 12mm oil shocks inspired by the Optima series, the Turbo Scorpion delivers better stability and damping across varied terrain.

Tuned for current race setups

Designed to fit modern power systems, the Turbo Scorpion supports current motor and ESC options while benefiting from a wider front track and a longer wheelbase. These changes improve cornering and high-speed stability, making the buggy suitable for contemporary club races and weekend track sessions.

Classic looks with practical tweaks

Kyosho preserved the Scorpion's iconic bodywork while making subtle functional adjustments, such as repositioned roll bar and light bucket mounts. The white rear wing keeps the vintage look intact while supporting the car's updated handling dynamics.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Motor: 540 class motor required
  • Wheels: Modern standard 2.2 inch
  • Suspension: 12mm oil shocks
  • Gearbox: Two-piece aluminum diecast with gear diff

For collectors who also like to race, the Kyosho Turbo Scorpion blends period-correct styling with practical modern upgrades, making it a versatile pick for nostalgic yet performance-minded drivers.

The gearbox arrives assembled, but the kit requires builders to fit the motor, electronics, wheels and finish body mounting. It offers a hands-on build without being a full-scale restoration project.
2.2-inch off-road tyres with a medium to soft compound work well on dirt and hardpack. Choose tread patterns based on whether you run loose soil or packed clay for optimal traction.
Yes. The chassis accepts modern motors and ESCs, but check space and cooling considerations. A properly sized brushless combo will upgrade acceleration and top speed.
Kyosho parts support is generally good for Legendary Series models. Common wear items like shocks, wheels and diff components can be sourced from dealers or online parts lists.
