More performance and style with improvements to each key component.

This machine is more than just a reproduction!

As the 5th model to make its return as part of the vintage series, the ever-popular Scorpion released in 1982 was relaunched 2 years ago and has undergone a detailed overhaul to match modern performance with retro styling. The new Turbo Scorpion remains true to the essence of the unique Scorpion design throughout, but features Scorpion-style wheels in the larger 2.2 inch modern standard wheels for improved off-road performance. In addition, 12mm oil shocks based on the Optima deliver rock-solid running stability and excellent damping characteristics that work in combination with high-grip front and rear tires with a 20mm wider front tread and 10mm longer wheelbase than the original Scorpion to realize improved control and handling performance. With a thorough modernization, the new Turbo Scorpion is ready and willing to accept modern-day power sources and compete on modern race circuits. The standard Turbo Scorpion is a fully optioned chassis configuration and is ready to take the punishment that goes with hard driving.

Turbo Scorpion updated to meet the demands of the modern off-road racing scene.
Kit includes pre-assembled gearbox and oil shocks.
Features same racy-style mini bumper as the original.
Rear section reinforced with Rear Sus Post L, strengthened by added flange.
Features accurate recreation of the original loop-mount light buckets. Optional LED lights can be simply bolted on.
Screwed surfaces are countersunk for flat finish.
Decals included in kit are diecut. Stretch for easy application and beautiful body finish.

Is there enough room for a 3s battery in the under tray?
Asked by Jamie Thompson on 30th March 2021

Ideally you'd use a round case LiPo in these. You can fit square packs (25mm max height x 47mm max width) - but will likely need to pad with foam or similar for a secure fit.

So - yes, a low profile 3S pack like VZ0341 should fit. Just bear in mind these are a vintage car, so 3S might not be the best idea..!
