- In this video I finish the build of the Kyosho Turbo Scorpion. Moving on from the last video where the chassis was completed, I fit the radio, paint the body and apply the decals.

![Is this the Best Looking Retro RC Buggy Ever! [Brushless] Kyosho Turbo Scorpion.](/img/n.gif)
Thanks for the assistance on the build. Your tips came in handy. Happy to take those wheels off your hands if you are not into them.
No problemo! Glad you found the video helpful. Sorry mate, I'll still keep them for running. 👍

Love the sound effects 😍 I will never put decals without soapy water ever ever again, come to the dark side! Still use the heat gun... It gives you multiple chances to align it and it sticks just as good👌
Lol thanks, I figured it might be less boring. Oh yeah I hear ya about the soapy water. I thought about that half way through, then thought "well I've already ruined one side, better make it match". 🤣👍
👍Such a great looking and running buggy!
Thanks Steve! 🙂👍
Such a good looking car 🤩🤩🤩
Thank Glenn. Even with the dodgy decals I still think it's quite sexy. 👍
I use a mix of isopropyl, water and dishwashing liquid. Learnt that trick when I worked at a graphic art shop doing vinyl decals and the likes. Get another Mick and paint the blue sections, theyre all straight edges and could be done easily with masking tape. Even gives you the option of going with a metallic blue if you wanted something different. Thanks for sharing.
Nice one Jacen! I've done the soapy water before but not with the isopropyl. I assume that helps the water to dry?
Will be getting another one for sure, can't find any at the moment but will do it again. I just can't look at it! 😂. Thanks for the tip mate!
@@RCHobbyShed 50 50 water and isoprol mix, and a small pinch of dishwashing liquid. Yes, has to do with with the isol/water burning off, and enough lubrication from the dish washing detergent to be able slide decal/sticker sets around into their eventual position without the adhesive grabbing and stretching if you incorrectly position something. I've done this for a while because I was tired of not getting headlight and tail light masks correctly positioned for painting on my drift cars, and not getting window and windscreen decals spot on.
@@TastierBackInThe80s Good stuff mate. Thanks for the info! 👍
Very good job, the paintwork is really well done, especially on the helmet and the pilot's head. Very beautiful Kyosho.
Thanks mate. I'm pretty happy with the paint, not so much with the decals 😂. I agree, they are a beautiful looking buggy! 🙂👍
@@RCHobbyShed You will surely find other decals I am sure and the problem will be solved 😉👍
Nice shiny wheels.
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
ever try using the windex trick for decals?, just spray some on and you slide the decals on and press out the bubbles and let the windex dry and your done. i tried it on my black edition clodbuster where the decals are a mile long and it worked just fine.
I've not used Windex, but have used soapy water before. I think with this one by the time I realized I should have used the water, I was already too far into it. I really have no excuses for this one! 🤣
Looks great,awesome build
Thanks Duke! 🙂👍
@@RCHobbyShed 👍😃
I just purchased myself a turbo scorpion too! Did your rear tires come with the letters painted like the fronts? Mine only came with the front painted
That's strange 😲. Mine came with the lettering on both front and rear.
Very beautiful detailing. You can use optima 2016 or Javelin 2017 wheels with the sc84 turbo scorpion vintage rear tires (snug fit)
Thank you! Oh yeah they will fit nicely, but I really like the original Turbo Scorpion wheel design.
P.S. The Marwan RC tires are beautiful! 😉👍
Decals look great to me, this buggy seems to be out of stock everywhere so waiting patiently! Great Vid.
Thank you! Oh yeah, not many around at the moment but they'll be in stock again soon I'm sure. 🙂👍
Nice one, really like it, don’t beat yourself up about the decals, thanks for the heads up, really looking forward to the Turbo Optima now!! 👍
Thanks mate. I was really disappointed with the decals, I actually said to my girlfriend "I can't put this on video!" but did it anyway. I guess it can't always be smooth sailing. I'll get another body set and do it again though, kinda have to as it will eat at me. The Turbo Optima should be really nice too, not sure when I will get to it though. Will prolly do a couple of Tamiyas and Marui buggies first as I want to space out the Kyosho builds a little bit, because there isn't many of them. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed I’m sure you will sort it but it was good to see how tough it can be sometimes even for a pro, I’m glad you left it in instead of just editing it out 👌all the sound effects in the episode are well funny and it will be good to see the other builds you have coming up, just knowing that the Turbo Optima is coming, love the channel man 👍
@@sustorres765 Thanks mate. I thought I'd add the sounds to brighten it up a bit, it's kind of boring with just me droning on lol. Heaps more builds and stuff to come, Turbo Optima not too far away. Thanks for your support! 👊👍
@@RCHobbyShed your not boring mate 👍😂
Looks great Mick, what a great car this beast will be. Very hard to find, it's on my list for sure. They really go well and I love the old look. Wife sold her monster beetle and bought a Blitzer beetle, looks like I'm doing a copy of your beast.
Thanks mate. Oh yeah, not many around right now. I think they will bring more out soon though. The Blitzer Beetle should be more fun that the Monster. I can get out now, will be able to run my Blitzer soon. Got some paddle tyres for it, hoping for big rooster tails on the beach. 😁
@@RCHobbyShed can't wait to see some running videos mate. Very interested to see how that Blitzer beetle goes . That should be great fun to drive. I put a 3.5 turn hobbywing motor and 120 amp quick run in the wife's little losi 22, it's a beast of a thing . May even beat the ultima now dam it. Too right about the cheap combos, they're like an on off switch as you said. Not buying them anymore and with big pinion gears they cog and carry on at low speeds. Better watch your build videos of the Blitzer beetle. Sorry I have to copy you mate.
@@petergoodwin2465 Really want to take that one to the beach, but now we can't be 25k's from home lol. Think I'll just take it to the footy oval down the road. 3.5t would be crazy in the 22, I don't doubt it will beat the Ultima now. It's good you got your ESC's sorted! Go for it mate, no need to feel you're copying. If I put any info out there that might be helpful, it's yours mate! It's not like you're another UA-cam channel trying copy me, that would be kinda lame 😉🤣. Anyhoo, have fun with your Blitzer build, I'm sure it will be a beast! 👍
Hello what motor and esc combo did you use thanks great job
M8, looks awesome! Cool discovering another Aussie rc channel! Just started mine. Look forward to your next one!👍💯
Thanks! Just subbed to your channel (sub #35). Keep the videos coming! Thanks for watching. 🙂👍
Hay mate good video just wondering what’s a good quality esc to run I’ve got tamyia rz and bz motors thinking about using the hobbywing 1060
Thanks mate. Good choice, the 1060 will be great with the RZ or BZ motors! 👍
Cool mate just wondering if you know where i could purchase some from
@@kimmccook7020 eBay, RCMart. In Australia most shops have them, my last few I bought from Hobbies Direct. 👍
nice!
That looks awesome!, yeh I'd paint the blue if I'm ever lucky enough to get my paws on one.
Great sound effects etc on your video, I got a few grins out of it lol.
Thanks for sharing your video 👍🦘🇦🇺
Thanks mate. I'm not sure I was in the right frame of mind when doing the stickers. I got to the end and said "f*** what happened there?!" 🤣. Thinking I will get another body and just paint it. 🤷♂️
Oh yeah, when editing the video all I was hearing was my boring voice, it needed something to keep people awake. 😂
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. 🙂👍
@@RCHobbyShed
Yeh it was funny as and interesting at the same time 👍😂
@@outbackrcaustralia4895 Thanks mate! 😁👍
The decals are difficult to put on, I do remember that. Here's a question, how did you put the decals on the rear tires??
Oh yeah, they weren't fun at all, lol. All I did was clean the area on the tyres with thinners and stuck them on... Not sure if they'll stay there, we'll see! 👍
Hi Mick. First of all I love what you are doing with the edit on these. Does make the build video more enjoyable to have the captions and sounds going on. Anyway the car looks really awesome. Can't notice the problems you had with the decals unless you are very close. They did look like a bit of a nightmare with all the angles they had to go around. Trying to get that scheme with paint would be tricky too with all the masking up. How does it compare to your Scorpion? I was never quite sure what was different between the two. I look forward to seeing it run now that you are allowed out. Cheers for now mate 😀
Thanks mate. Hopefully it will keep people awake when they're watching. I was getting board during editing and thought it needs something lol. Yeah the decals are ok from a distance... Maybe you notice my lack of close ups 🤣. I'm thinking about doing a side by side comparison of the Beetle, Scorpion, Tomahawk and Turbo Scorpion. But between the Scorpion and Turbo Scorpion there's really not much difference, the Turbo Scorpion is a little wider at the front and it has hex adapters on the rear. Of course wheels and tyres too but that's really about it. Will be getting it out very soon! 😁. Thanks mate! 👍
Looks awesome. Cant wait to see the decals on the HKS Skyline, almost thought you had throw them in the trash haha.
Thanks mate. The Skyline should be done in the next couple of days, need to meditate and play some calming music first lol. Oh yeah, throwing them out has crossed my mind many times! 🤣👍
Looks good to me , sometimes unfortunately you learn from the first experience with the decals on what not to do . I’m sure when you do it again it will turn out how you want it too . Look at the bright side, you can run it with no guilt. Great video Mick .
Thanks Eric. I have learned to do the next one the complete opposite to what I did here, lol. I think I'll just paint the next one. You're right too, I can run this without fear! 🙂👍
I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Brecken Alfredo Instablaster ;)
@Vivaan Korbyn I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Vivaan Korbyn It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
Hi, I see you got the rear spike tires from MarwinRC but I thought those were for the Optima and a slightly different size? Can you confirm if they fit the Scorpion wheel?
Hi, yes the Optima and Scorpion tyres are slightly different in profile. Don't but the OT30 repros (they're for Optima), the ones you need are the SC84.
I don't have an orignal Scorpion to fit them on, but I have put them on rere Beetle wheels (to go on my Advance) and they fit perfectly. 👍

If you could only have 1 Kyosho buggy, Scorpion, Ultima, or Optima?
I'd go for the Ultima or Optima. 👍
Can u paint the blue colour instead of using the blue decals
Yeah could have done that. It was my impatience that was the problem here, I should have used soapy water but was too lazy to fill a bowl lol. I figured "it's only a couple of sticker, it'll be fine", well no it wasn't 🤣. I have a new body set on the way as I can't stand looking at this one. 🤣👍
I hate putting on decals too...especially getting bubbles ..on the decals
@@markkokojenko1900 I find them as much fun as eating slugs too! 😂
Mine came with a pre scored sticker sheet. Not decals, no water needed. I guess they changed it?
Soapy water will aid in applying the decals, that's what I should have done but didn't. It's in step 38 (Paint/Decals). But I think you really wanted to pick on the fact that I called them decals instead of stickers. It's a tomato, tomayto thing. In the manual Kyosho call them decals so I'm good with it. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed gotcha. I thought maybe you actually had real decals in your kit.
Why do the axles keep popping out? seems there too short or sum
That ESC looks to be a Futaba? Surely you are not allowed to run that in a Kyosho : )
No, the ESC is a Hobbywing 1060 but the receiver is Futaba. Futaba is one of my favorites. 👍
was that PS1 tamiya white you used for the body? thx a lot and great vids
On this I actually used some of the Proline white then some PS1 but PS1 alone will be fine. Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed thx a lot mate, keep up the good work
World Champion Misami Hirosaka used a stick controller for awhile. I could never figure out how he did that but oh well.
I guess it just depends what you're used to using. I'm comfortable with both, but I can only dream of driving 5% as good as Masami. 🤣
Great video but not a fan of the sound effects
Thanks! That's fair enough. 👍
