Building an RC: Kyosho Scorpion (Time Lapse)
This is a time lapse build of a Kyosho Scorpion (2014 re-release kit #30613C). In this video, I record my build and some of the body work in time lapse mode. At the end of the video I show the complete results of the build. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

I wanted a look that felt more current but restrained. I added a little exhaust element as well in place of the antenna. For the top polycarbonate paint, it was a bit of a gamble to try and match the tub color since it's sort of a school bus/cheddar cheese yellow color. I use two coats of Tamiya PS-6 (Yellow) and two coats of PS-7 (Orange) to back it up. If you were to replicate this, results might vary depending on your environment. The overall build experience was excellent and it was quite a pleasure. I think it was due to the parts and materials, and the fact that this is a 2WD kit with some of the gearbox elements pre-built. I would've preferred building those gear parts myself if I had the option to. The only problem I encountered was that the right arm shaft block came with slightly stripped threads. I couldn't tighten it enough and need to get a replacement part. You can use LiPo and brushless on this but I wanted a bit of a vintage element by sticking to a brushed motor setup.
