The Rebirth of an Icon: Kyosho's Scorpion 30613c
The Kyosho Scorpion is not just a model—it's a legend reborn. Originally making waves in the RC world back in 1982, this off-road marvel set a new standard in racing buggies. Fast forward to 2014, and Kyosho has masterfully revamped this classic into the 30613c version, preserving its nostalgic charm while infusing the latest in RC technology.
A Classic Design with Modern Enhancements
Maintaining the vintage allure of its semi-trailing suspension arms, the Scorpion 30613c seamlessly integrates advanced 6061T6 forged aluminum into its structure. This not only enhances strength and rigidity but also ensures that the buggy can take on modern racing tracks with ease and durability. The two-piece die-cast aluminum gearbox, complete with differential gears and a slipper clutch, offers a new level of traction control and transmission protection.
Precision Engineering for Superior Performance
The Scorpion 30613c shines with its precision 48 pitch gears, which minimize traction pulsation and provide direct driving control. The chassis is designed with a countersunk underside, reducing contact resistance and enhancing durability. Oil shocks featuring aluminum cylinders and stainless shafts deliver a smooth stroke and are finished with signature color caps reminiscent of the original Scorpion.
Unboxing the Experience
Assembling the Scorpion is part of the adventure. While it arrives as an unassembled kit, the gearbox and oil shocks come pre-assembled, giving you a head start. The kit includes high-quality components like a clear polycarbonate body, decals, and essential tools. With its wide front tread and high-grip tires, this buggy not only looks the part but performs impeccably on any terrain.
