Thanks. The camera didn't pick up the true color... On camera whether vid or pic.. it looks aqua but in person its actually more mint green like the roll cage on my Javelin. Still pretty cool looking.
My first hobby grade car was a Cox Bandito, which is the same basic car (red tub). The Cox Ultra Stock is also based on it. Even back when they were new, the ball cup mounted suspension was a problem. When I restored my car, I was able to find a complete new set of balls and cups. The plastic dog bones tend to wear fast but 3D printed ones are available on ebay.
Wow, don't remember that buggy. The guy who restored it did an amazing job, looks good and runs well, bit quicker than I was expecting. Great video, really enjoyed it!!
I had a Pegasus, and it was a really good car. The rear friction shocks were crap (fixed with oil filled shocks from an Icarus). I won 2 local races with one, beating many RC10's. It actually handled really well despite how cheap it was made. Ball bearings were a must (like any car). FYI a wire-tie can fix the front ball joints from popping out.
Huge improvement, I don’t think I’ve ever seen front wheels and tires that small on a 1/10 buggy. I always figured that’s the way you guys got the live action shots , but to actually see Ari chasing the buggy around was pretty funny. Cool video guys.
Haha the mint green dont show up in pics and video but its the same color as the kyosho javelin mint cage.... but if your a dolphins fan then yes its a dolphins car haha
It could but then it wouldn’t qualify for our crappy buggy race class where the cars we use have to remain stock. Maybe later down the line he’ll upgrade it. Thanks for the comment and your support.
What’s that saying turn a frog into a prince. It looked really nice the chrome rims were the perfect touch with that color choice. The Blackfoot III are we go see that run. In a video. Don’t forget your sneakers next time 😂 o
I believe this one might have actually started life as an Icarus, or was built from a mix of Icarus and Pegasus parts. The Pegasus tub and arms are grey, black on the Icarus. Now that it also has Cosmo parts too, I'm calling it the Icapegsmo. 😂 It went around the track quite nicely, even though Harry's balls popped out a few times 🤣
Ari this is a guy that knows a fair bit on these! Mick has been messing around with these for a fair old while!😉Hi Mick how's you mate👍 One more thing l hope Harry sorted his balls popping out issue??
@@mad-beerc3818 G'day James! 👋. Fancy seeing you here! 😂 Haha most of my knowledge of them comes from drooling over them in the Kyosho Catalogues back in the day. I'm sure Harry will take more care of his balls from now on. 😂
@@RCHobbyShed lol it's a small world!😉👍 Yeah he was really having ball troubles! Thanks for my birthday message mate👍 l got a rc car token from my wife!😁 I fancy a Monster Beetle? Not sure? The mrs did me proud we had great fun day! Cheers mate.
@@mad-beerc3818 Haha yeah it is! Yeah he was, poor guy lol. No probs at all mate, sounds like your birthday went well, awesome! Oooh a Monster Beetle, why not I say! 😁👍
Your video has great timing, as I just bought an Icarus. I had an Icarus as a kid (wanted it mostly because it had the hopped-up lemans motor) and the thing never worked right. For whatever reason the MSC would get so hot it would desolder itself, so I never really got to really drive it. So hopefully I have better luck with this new one using an ESC hah.
The best part of the video is Ari running around like an idiot😆👍 Great stuff Ari. I am a fan of the basic poor handling Pegasus!! I say that but apart from the bouncy suspension it looked quite agile going around those corners! Maybe it's down to those skinny front tyres? Yeah its a little bit of an odd ball but definitely unique! I have been after one for what seems ages! Your mate done a nice job on that l must say too love the chrome wheels👍
@@tallguygaming409 yeah Harry l find sometimes the basic ones are more fun and the suspension looked fun in a friction shock kinda way! and the steering looks sharp 🤪👍The Pegasus is a fun buggy and definitely one on my shopping list! Cheers mate👍
Haven’t seen or heard one of these in decades. It was always an ugly and cheap buggy. Even as an 11 year old had no desire whatsoever for these. My dad bought me a grasshopper with 7.2v hump pack and Airtronics stick radio and that’s where it all began for me.
Thats the case for most... Grasshopper #1 for many... For me it was the Kyosho Raider which was Kyoshos entry level at the time. Thanks for the comment and support.
Did I say Tamiya? LOL... Hahaha...If that is the case, I watched this video about 20x while editing and never even picked up on my own mistake...lol... good ears... Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks for your support.
I like the oddballs too there doesn't mean they're any less fun to play with also I want to see you or Harry get the striker and the Sonic fighter and the what have you has the ftx fataba and get the fatava that was based on a stadium truck.
I had and still have the cox bandito version. it came with a (really bad) 12v cig power charger batt and controller and half built. Was there ever a conversion for the plastic bendy type front arms. I got it at toys r us in paramus. awesome vid
I don't know my mistaken wasn't the original body ABS plastic you could have totally removed all that paint off of it you also could have just taken polycarbonate paint if it wasn't to remove all that paint if the body wasn't that badly damaged.
![Is this the Best Looking Retro RC Buggy Ever! [Brushless] Kyosho Turbo Scorpion.](/img/n.gif)
Ahhhhh, my eyes! But to be fair it seems quite consistent on the track and 100 times better after the refurb - good job on that.
Thanks yeah it runs better then i thought it would
Nice restoration, thoose chrome-wheels and the colours on the body works really well togheter. Well done Harry.
Thanks bud i love the way it came out also
Lovely restoration. Love the colours 🤩

Nice i have like 3 sets of dog bones and parts so i should be good for awhile haha. Yeah the bandito looks cool as well.
That was cool! Like you said, it's a huge improvement from before Mr Satan did his thing on it, very nice!
Yeah he does great work. Soon he'll want his own show just like Steve the Pirate...
Mr Satan show!!!
i had one of those back in the day... one of my first hobby grade car.... it was actually fun
Its still alot of fun seek out another one
Best looking one I've seen. great job now I want a Pegasus.
Haha thanks i have 2 more but i think im keeping them
Walking the dog 12:00 lol. "Burning the calories now" The things we do to get the shots. Car came out great, nice work guys.
For the record, I walked away from this film session with no injuries lol... getting older is rough..
Those thin tires up front really give it some steering response.
Still silly looking...
It does
You are to silly with that unboxing lol. That rebuild montage was awesome. The music was perfect.
Hah..Thanks. yes its all about the right music... glad you liked the video. Thanks for your comment and support.

Nice video my friend🤩🍻
The pegasus was my first rc ever..wow, it was around the 80 to 90 dollar mark I think.
Brings back memories...huh... glad you enjoyed the video.
you can still buy one on ebay

Haha i have to drive while not laughing at this
Thems Miami Dolphin colors….you must be a fan :)
Haha the mint green dont show up in pics and video but its the same color as the kyosho javelin mint cage.... but if your a dolphins fan then yes its a dolphins car haha
End result looks nice, could perhaps use some front suspension from the Cosmo though along with oil shocks all around.
It could but then it wouldn’t qualify for our crappy buggy race class where the cars we use have to remain stock. Maybe later down the line he’ll upgrade it. Thanks for the comment and your support.
If you have a set let me know i need some

@@mad-beerc3818 yeah it performs well as long as you dont jump it haha
Very fun!
Asplenia.
Its one of my favorite cars i own. Such a cool lookimg fun buggy to drive
Harry bought it just for those fancy RPM rear wheels and stretched tires :-D
Haha i still have them nk clue what to do with them thou
Nice thanks, would police to see a review of kyosho rocky I remember it was my first rc Car
We may have just got our hands on one. One of the guys who races with us has it we just waiting on his restoration
Looks great. Paint scheme works well, too bad the car doesn't. Absolutely terrible, but that is what makes it entertaining.
What i love the car for qhat it is. I wasnt expecting team associated type driving but for what it was it impressed me alot.
Dude you crack me up
i write all his jokes
I hope you get the Icarus too and run it on the track cuz there is some differences.
We have a buddy with a COSMO and Icarus. Maybe in the future.
Looks like RC from toy story.
Haha needs red wheels
Cameraman worked out hard!
Just getting some cardio in lol..

You meant to say Kyosho with the Greek mythology, not Tamiya, Right??🤣👍

I have 3 fx10s.... had a striker and sold it
@@tallguygaming409 they need to re-release these.
That would be awesome id buy a couple haha

Sorry you need to get all these cars that they made back then like that.
I don't know my mistaken wasn't the original body ABS plastic you could have totally removed all that paint off of it you also could have just taken polycarbonate paint if it wasn't to remove all that paint if the body wasn't that badly damaged.
Those rims look bigger than what the hornet used to come with I can't believe they fit on those rims.
Yup...he got them on there.
i categorize this car as being Fun/Bad.
Agreed.... LOL...
Agreed haha
Don't take this personally Ari but you're looking like a fool chasing after that car. Lol
I know...thats why I put it in the video...
@@RCRetro you should get the sonic fighter and the striker again I want to see those race to.
So what are you going to do about that Harry.
Already fixed
Hey is Ari going to respond to my comments cuz here is always doing it why can't he do it himself Ari?
🤷♂️
Doesn't handle that badly with pogo sticks.
It cant jump at all but runs great otherwise
