Product Description
The famous Kyosho Scorpion and Baja Beetle combined into one legendary off-road machine that became synonymous with electric buggy racing in the 1980's, a name that is still known around the world today. Now, in honor of the original Scorpion and its many fans, the Beetle makes a triumphant return with the advanced Scorpion 2014 chassis featuring the same basic ladder frame 2WD structure as the original, but with the latest technology and components. From the kit, making assembly easier and the finished chassis lighter and more rigid. From experts familiar with the Scorpion's standard of performance to present-day drivers unaware of the Scorpion legend, all will enjoy the Scorpion experience that inspired so many.
