    I enjoyed the build video very much. Appearance wise, this buggy is my favorite vintage 2wd RC buggy of all time. Not the best handling car but I think it looks fantastic on the track. I have one runner, one for the shelf and another still in the box. I really like this car!! Thanks for posting the video!!

    @SEAN-fx5dm 2 роки тому +1

    Yet again a fantastic video Glenn 👍. You have assembled that buggy beautifully! The Scorpion / Turbo Scorpion have been on my radar, but having previously built the Tomahawk (which was a lovely build), I've decided not to bother as they all share the same chassis. I intend to buy the Javelin at some point and go with the chain drive.
    Just a word of caution, the new re-re of the Optima Mid (which I have just built) is no where near as good as the other Legendary releases. Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful when finished, but don't expect the same build experience, the instructions at times are awful and some of the parts are unexpectedly weak. I had to spend an additional £50 on replacement parts to complete.

      I definitely would take this over the wild one. I just finished building the Tamiya Blockhead Hotshot 2 and it is beautiful. Runs dead straight and is fairly quick with the Tamiya sport tuned motor I've put in. Handles superbly too. A day after I finished it I ordered the Turbo scorpion. My first Kyosho rc car. I can't wait. I'm thinking of running brushless. I've never had any experience with these types of motors. I'd really appreciate any recommendations and tips 🏁
