I got the original Turbo Scorpion in 1987 as a Christmas gift. That started a life long love of RC. I drove that 87 Scorpion for a few years till I bought an RC10 Graphite. I still have it in pretty good shape. The plan was to restore it and it was tough finding parts over the last 10 yrs. That all changed with the rerelease. So now I have a brand new Turbo Scorpion still in the box that maybe one day I’ll put together and put on a shelf. I still think it’s one of the best looking RC cars ever made. Great Video 😀
The nostalgia! Reminds me as a kid, looking through an RC brochure until the corners got fluffy. Dreaming. Action shots, dirt flicking of the rear tyres:)) Your spot on. Just enough power to enjoy the chassis. Other Vacuous RUclipsrs would put it on 3S and send it off the biggest BMX jump to destroy it for no reason or appreciation of what it is.
did the same as a kid and watched brochures of the favorite cars that im at the time could not afford and dream about them. its nice to se someone that dont overpower their car and try to make clout of bashing it. im rather as you say enjoy an older rc car with the same or as close to power as it got at the time of that car.
Great review of such an Iconic Kyosho Turbo Scorpion. One of my all time favourite 2wd Buggies of that era. Thanks to your awesome review this is going on my Buggy List hehe Always enjoy your videos from Down Under in Australia mate!
And for that is why I love so much Tamiya and Kyosho stuff. The Turbo Scorpion alongside The Turbo Optima are my two favourite Kyosho buggies and some of the ones I mostly use in a daily basis. Beautiful spot, awesome car, excellebte video. Thanks a lot Phil!
This is one on my "to get" list. There's just something appealing about Tamiya and Kyosho buggies on a beach, and slow motion. Great video Phil. You found the perfect little jump too.
Love it. I had the nitro version (Assault) when I was a kid. Restored it last years, works like a champ. It is something special with the old school buggies
I’ve always been a Tamiya guy when it came to these buggies. Wasn’t a fan of the scorpion, but once I saw the turbo scorpion I just couldn’t wait for it to be released. My first large scale Kyosho! Since then I’ve got 2 Javalins and I’m thinking of the Ultima. I’d say the Ultima would be a good contender for looks!
Oh my god! What an absolute weapon! This is my favourite of all your cars so far! Please build the beetle soon 🙏 iv been looking forward to seeing that for so long!
It is completely crazy this Buggy 😜👌 ! It is well thought out, the engine is well protected against sand infiltrations ? Great pictures on this beautiful beach ! 🌴👍 Il est complètement fou ce Buggy ! Il est bien pensé, le moteur est bien protégé contre les infiltrations de sable ? Tres belle images sur cette magnifique plage !
It's an ideal buggy, and I'm seriously considering one. Haven't had a buggy since I was a kid, but, I miss the 2WD chaos! Turbo Scorpion lookin pretty nice... Thanks for another great vid!!
Got one arriving on Friday. Will be powered by a Spektrum Firma 85a esc and 4000kv motor. Only 2s. Going with same servo, but 20kg. Too much servo can cause brownouts, in my experience.
Awesome build mate, shes a beauty. Glad you found the Driveshaft 👍 fantastic test Bashing and it is Awesome, pretty nippy to👍 great Video Phil as always 👍😎👍😁👍
I really do like the trackstar products. I have a few in different Rc and never had a fail in 7 years. This buggy is pretty neat. Thanks for sharing! ;)
Just built a Scorpion a couple of weeks ago , haven’t taken it out yet . That Turbo Scorpion is really nice and there hard to find now. That was a really good video from start to finish Phil . Need to get out and take mine out now . That beach was awesome.
Great stuff, Phil! Love the Turnigy kit, the 13.5 is my motor of choice too - it's the Goldilocks option! Agree with all your choices here. Great soldering tips too. The footage on the beach was incredible, especially the rear facing on-board cam. Damn you, Phil, now I REALLY WANT ONE! :))
Definitely want to do a kit like this myself, this looks incredible and sturdy 🤔 you're killing me Phil, the dedicated rc cupboard is full already! I do wish you had done a build stream on this one though. Love me a buggy ❤️
You need four hands to solder or a very understanding wife! Nice coordinated colour scheme. It goes nicely on the sand. Those East coast beaches are superb.
Brilliant! I love the tasteful build, with all due consideration given to colourways, the very handy soldering lesson (takeaway message: "Go hot or go home" and "always keep your tip clean") but what I enjoyed the most was the run footage on the beach. What self-control, not to just do a quick locally-filmed run vid and post the result! You got some gorgeous shots on that beach : )
Thanks Del... I guess theres a bit more to soldering... but I live by them rules lol. I've been waiting a long time to get this video recorded. Just over an hr each way to the beach, and an early rise to miss the crowds! Dedication! :)
Keep yer tip clean is just good life advice applicable to many different scenarios. On a side note my mates an me back in the day when we were silly school boys all helmets as a rule must be painted purple! Even my own motorcycle helmet was painted a lovely metal flake purple colour. I looked like a real 🔧on my black and gold RD
@@captainchaos3053 Ha ha! Yes, you're right about keeping one's tip clean. A quick buffing can only do good in nearly every situation imaginable. I still wear the same crash helmet I had at the age of 16. The padding collapsed so I replaced it with high-density insulation foam rubber and the chin-strap has frayed so I sewed a strap from a bum bag on instead. It's saved me in 2 life-threatening accidents over the years. Bet you wish you still had that RD!
I got the 80s version that was my first hobby grade car and it the only one of my 1/10 scale that I plant to keep I love the vw bug suspension on it, by the way you do a great job with the camera by yourself
Saw in a recent video a person mentioned the blue, yellow, orange (a,b,c) motor wires, and he said he remembers it by equating the A,B,C cars to ... bring ...your...own... made me chuckle and now I won't forget to put blue to A, yellow to B, orange to C...lol That buggy looks cool... I'd love to have a couple retro/vintage kits, even the re-re stuff... this would probably have been one I'd have chosen to have, along with something from Tamiya, and an old school RC10/RC10T... I have a B4.2FT buggy, and the oldest rig I have is an XL1 Stampede, it has been updated to brushless, and it's basically the same as the Stampede you can still buy today, so not really anything "retro/vintage"...
Man that does look properly good, a true dune buggy look to it! My first RC car, back in the '80s was the Tamiya Wild One. It looked great, but being mostly plastic, it broke after I'd been racing it at club level. So I moved on the the Kyosho Optima. Couldn't help noticing the Sand Scorcher on display in your workshop
@@TomleyRC I never did buy a Scorcher, even though I I owned two Beetles as daily drivers, and T2 Camper and a van at different times. I'm definitely considering getting back into racing RC once this pandemic eases as much as it can. (it'll probably never completely go away) I still have my RC10 and RC10 T2, plus a 1/8th truggy that I converted from ic to electric. Hmm, and an X-Ray touring car chassis that I bought used but never raced! Was just checking out the latest RC10B6.2D Team Kit. So much adjustability! And so much money! 😁 Ok, and a Kyoshos Land-Max Subaru Impreza, and recently an FTX Ravine crawler for fun.
Looks gorgeous, also looks fun to drive! Hoping my Scorpion XXL kit ends up the same way! No beaches in landlocked Tennessee for me to rip across, though, but I will have FPV on it. Can't wait to get it going; the scale looks and performance of these 2wd Kyosho buggies is a huge selling point for me. Wish they sold the Turbo Scorpion as a GP/EP kit as well; I'd be all over one then. My Scorpion XXL's gonna get either a KE-25 or Dynamite Mach 26 for power. Hehe.
The reason I like Tamiya is how solid they sound when running. I mean the only thing I upgraded in my plasma 2 was sealed ball bearings that's it. My electronics are Sidewinder Castle brushless system. With a tactic 3 Channel built-in antenna receiver and transmitter. My preferred battery is usually a 3200 2 cell Venom or 3-cell Venom battery 4000. It runs really solid as long as you don't slam it in reverse you will not grind the gears LOL. Plus Castle brushless systems arm pretty strong so it shows the quality of a Tamiya. I only have the plasma 2 but I'm hoping one day to get more. Great video like always a turbo scorpion would be very nice. Okay have a good day and great build like always, your killing the RC game
What an absolute stunner this buggy is! I've just bagged a Turbo Optima which will be my first Kyosho kit build, the Scorpion is on my to get list but can't find any at present sadly. Great channel, just subbed you mate!
Pretty fantastic job, dude! 😃 Such a sweet little car! It seems to run so smooth! Seems like a great candidate for FPV. 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
So it's been over two years since you said "we'll have to come back and try it on 3S" some of are still waiting mate! I run mine on 2 or 3S with a 3900KV brushless motor and it's crazy fun.
It's been a busy 2yrs! lol.... This needs a bit of love first before I put a 3s in it... It been on the shelf gathering dust. I will run it again though...
Hi, amazing video!! any special cleaning and maintenance care after walking on the sand? air clean and grease bearings? clean with a brush? I want to roll my RC on the beach and I'm a little afraid that it could be damaged by the sand. thanks
Maplins was great for all your soldering needs until the last economic down turn took it haha . Loved browsing their catalogues. Great video mate it's looking fantastic 👍
Top man Phil I've been waiting for this one , epic car , kyosho quality great choice of power system can't wait to see it on 3s , still love these retro kits and they still hold their own against the new stuff , what's the next build from the haul buddy ?
As I first started looking into these Kyosho ReRe kits, I didn't think I wanted this one.... now I hope I can find one at some point down the road... they should've made 10x as many of all of these, and 25x as many of all the parts...lol I should've got bitten by the retro/vintage bug 5 or 10 years sooner...
Just got this one down under so the parts Motor etc this would be the best setup just asking new to RC. I’m 53 and new to RC as a kid could not aford much ❤
great vid ... i have just bought a turbo scorpion .. can you please list all the electronics you have in this build please ... servo , ESC , motor, battery as i want to make sure i buy the right stuff and not waste money ....
Great setup. I like the ESC you selected. The servo is a great value and I use one in my Typhon 3s and it has held up quite well. The Scorpion looks so awesome running on the beach. It's hard to find decent 2wd's that are affordable but the Scorpion fits the bill perfectly. 👍 oh by the way we would love to see it run on 3s. I would think an 80 amp ESC would handle it. ? ?

Great review of such an Iconic Kyosho Turbo Scorpion. One of my all time favourite 2wd Buggies of that era. Thanks to your awesome review this is going on my Buggy List hehe Always enjoy your videos from Down Under in Australia mate!
I bought a few raffle tickets for this on hobby comps…. I’m glad I found this video, I hope I win it 😍
Blast from the past with some NEW Punch!
Love those low down beach shots. This is my favourite of your videos so far. Thanks!
Thanks mate. It's one of mine as well :)
And for that is why I love so much Tamiya and Kyosho stuff. The Turbo Scorpion alongside The Turbo Optima are my two favourite Kyosho buggies and some of the ones I mostly use in a daily basis. Beautiful spot, awesome car, excellebte video. Thanks a lot Phil!
OK... Now i want a 2wd buggy!!! Nice video Phil. Keep up the good work!
Thank You 😃
Tomley RC: you’re welcome 😉
What a wonderful day at the beach! Looks like so much fun there! I miss the ocean.
This is one on my "to get" list. There's just something appealing about Tamiya and Kyosho buggies on a beach, and slow motion. Great video Phil. You found the perfect little jump too.
thinking of building one of these for my birthday in June so looking into them and happy Tomley made a video he is one person i trust on yt
Love it. I had the nitro version (Assault) when I was a kid. Restored it last years, works like a champ. It is something special with the old school buggies
I’ve always been a Tamiya guy when it came to these buggies. Wasn’t a fan of the scorpion, but once I saw the turbo scorpion I just couldn’t wait for it to be released. My first large scale Kyosho!
Since then I’ve got 2 Javalins and I’m thinking of the Ultima.
I’d say the Ultima would be a good contender for looks!
I'm the opposite. My first rc was a kyosho. I had a few more kyoshos after that, then a couple of HPIs and I've really only recently found Tamiya.
loving the onboard camera shots
Cheers dude
That thing is mean & clean!
Great video! The slow mo best parts are watching the suspension at the 18:40 mark to the end! Fantastic work!
Thanks mate. Got some more slow mo coming soon with my old Tamiya F150
Oh my god! What an absolute weapon! This is my favourite of all your cars so far! Please build the beetle soon 🙏 iv been looking forward to seeing that for so long!
Hopefully the beetle will get some love very soon!
Makes me want to go out and play with my old Schumacher buggy.
Cool rig,
Have fun!
It is completely crazy this Buggy 😜👌 ! It is well thought out, the engine is well protected against sand infiltrations ? Great pictures on this beautiful beach ! 🌴👍
Il est complètement fou ce Buggy ! Il est bien pensé, le moteur est bien protégé contre les infiltrations de sable ? Tres belle images sur cette magnifique plage !
Not the ideal motor being open... but seems ok so far
Ok, thank you. Anyway, he’s great 👍
It's an ideal buggy, and I'm seriously considering one. Haven't had a buggy since I was a kid, but, I miss the 2WD chaos! Turbo Scorpion lookin pretty nice... Thanks for another great vid!!
defo one of the best looking sand rails out there love it
Yes, so nice!
Awesome footage, especially the onboard, awesome buggy. Now I'm older I thought rockcrawlers were my thing, but, I WANT ONE of those!
haha...yeah, it's hard to not want something so cool!
@@TomleyRC reminds me of my old, modified, Tamiya Wild One, and similar cars, scale appearance and fast. NICE!
Childhood is back and better than I remember! Love it. Great video as usual!
haha...😍
GREAT VIDEO PHIL. NICE LOOKING BUGGY. AMAZING SETTING 🇬🇧💂👍✌️
Cheers Mike
Such a cool buggy . I could watch over and over .
Soo cool 😎 lol! Man I remember wanting one out of the RC mag from childhood. Awesome 👌 👏 👍!
But a beautiful car. I'm tempted to buy one just because it's so beautifully made with metal parts. Nice review, thanks
Awesome little buggy, great spot to film at too.
Thanks dude. It's a really nice beach
Damn! It drives so smooth for an old buggy! I seriously want one now~
Yes this is the best and beautiful vintage buggy. I have one original vintage non assembled. Good video.
Thanks Tony
I have a huge Tamiya collection but I have to say the turbo scorpion is possibly the most perfectly proportioned buggy I own great car
Top video! Dream car, dream location. Great photos, editing and commentary. Noice!
Gotta love a Turbo Scorpion. Great run and perfect location. 👌👍
Yes... it's an awesome looking buggy!
I have a kyosho Advance that I need to restore. I have always loved the Kyosho early aluminum chassis buggies.
That thing is awesome! Makes me want a 2WD buggy like that.
Yes...good fun!
A work of art.
Got one arriving on Friday. Will be powered by a Spektrum Firma 85a esc and 4000kv motor. Only 2s. Going with same servo, but 20kg. Too much servo can cause brownouts, in my experience.
😁👍 She's a BEAUTY Mate!
Thanks Steve 😃
I love the retro looks of this thing.
Good job on the build and the speedometer on the side of the screen was a real neat feature to see how fast you were going. Keep up the good work.👍
Thanks dude. Yes the GoPro is good for the speedo thing...
Awesome build mate, shes a beauty. Glad you found the Driveshaft 👍 fantastic test Bashing and it is Awesome, pretty nippy to👍 great Video Phil as always 👍😎👍😁👍
Thanks Tony. Yes...so lucky to find it! 10 more mins and the tide would have got it!
That brings back so many memories dude! Just mint..miss the 2wd 👍
Beautiful Buggy isn't it
Looks awesome.. great shots on the beach :) be awesome to see getting some air
I really do like the trackstar products. I have a few in different Rc and never had a fail in 7 years. This buggy is pretty neat. Thanks for sharing! ;)
Them wheels and tyres are awesome
Just built a Scorpion a couple of weeks ago , haven’t taken it out yet . That Turbo Scorpion is really nice and there hard to find now. That was a really good video from start to finish Phil . Need to get out and take mine out now . That beach was awesome.
Thanks Eric. I have an original scorpion.. needs to do a few bits to it, and then get it out as well!
Video better than what Kyosho makes for promotion. Nice
Cheers mate 😎

Cheers Mark. I wish I'd got more on board footage... it was kind of last minute. But I will be back there for more running!
Dang It it might need to be the “the ole 4 corners” because the Dumbo is solid player for the working man too.
Definitely want to do a kit like this myself, this looks incredible and sturdy 🤔 you're killing me Phil, the dedicated rc cupboard is full already!
I do wish you had done a build stream on this one though. Love me a buggy ❤️
Maybe next time 👌
perfect footage on the beach

Love the Scorpion, nice to see its return, used to race against them in the 80’s with my RC10, they were a great handling car on the track.
Cool, wish I was a bit older sometimes lol
Congratulations on your video, I would like to know the size of the front and rear shock absorbers you have mounted. Thank you
Awesome video
So it's been over two years since you said "we'll have to come back and try it on 3S" some of are still waiting mate! I run mine on 2 or 3S with a 3900KV brushless motor and it's crazy fun.

AWESOME BUGGY !!!!!!!
it's a beauty !
Nice video. can you do that with paddle tires next time? Would probly pull wheelies.
"first switch on... i got nothing".. reminds me of my wedding night.. don't panic, we're still together
Facts about asteroid like it I have a Tamiya Hotshot with paddle tires on it four-wheel drive is nice👍
Maplins was great for all your soldering needs until the last economic down turn took it haha . Loved browsing their catalogues. Great video mate it's looking fantastic 👍

Top man Phil I've been waiting for this one , epic car , kyosho quality great choice of power system can't wait to see it on 3s , still love these retro kits and they still hold their own against the new stuff , what's the next build from the haul buddy ?
Cheers Stephen... next one up from the collection is the SRB Ranger.... and then maybe the original Scorpion... The Ranger beach run is was awesome!
15:15 what song is this? I've heard it before but obviously don't remember the name because EDM likes to make things challenging like that.
As I first started looking into these Kyosho ReRe kits, I didn't think I wanted this one.... now I hope I can find one at some point down the road... they should've made 10x as many of all of these, and 25x as many of all the parts...lol
I should've got bitten by the retro/vintage bug 5 or 10 years sooner...
Great video. Where is the beach? Love a bit of flat sand
Why is flux hard to find in the UK? Also, dope video.
Been looking at getting this kit. Really want a Tamiya Fast attach, but unable to find one at a decent price. Nice job on the build. :)
I love the Fast Attack
COOL AF 💯
The Tamiya WildOne Blockhead is the best Looking Ever... bar none!
Great video and build! Would you mind telling me the name of the montage music?
Just got this one down under so the parts Motor etc this would be the best setup just asking new to RC.
I’m 53 and new to RC as a kid could not aford much ❤
great vid ... i have just bought a turbo scorpion .. can you please list all the electronics you have in this build please ... servo , ESC , motor, battery as i want to make sure i buy the right stuff and not waste money ....
Great looking buggy.
What beach and where are you filming.
I wish you could still get the Kyosho beetle
I sold my NIB one a couple of months back...
Great setup. I like the ESC you selected. The servo is a great value and I use one in my Typhon 3s and it has held up quite well. The Scorpion looks so awesome running on the beach.
