Kyosho Beetle

This is the Kyosho Beetle, but is built on the longer Turbo Scorpion chassis instead of the standard Scorpion chassis.

General RC Information

All OEM. Nothing special here. This was built from a Turbo Scorpion kit, and I bought all the Beetle parts separately. I did manage to find some vintage Duratrax slicks for it, which is really cool. Still looking for the driver figure. Can't seem to find that part in stock anywhere.
