Is it a standard kit, Jeff?

I dont know what you are asking.

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

HI!... This one might not need to much to restore it to original condition. But still going to tear it down, clean it and go through it.

I was thinking that was the look the driver might have 2 seconds before ramming into a wall. :mrgreen:

Kyosho Hotshot

I bet that title will draw some attention and hope the visitors won't be dis-appointed :P

The base of this project is an almost stock turbo ultima, with custom-made top-plate carrying the hotshot body work. The shocks are...

I dont know a lot about Tamiyas, but I was wondering if there are any aftermarket shocks out there for the Tamiya Hotshot? I'm working on restoring an old Royal Ripper and the Hotshot shocks will work perfectly. Thanks!

Last post

I wound up using hot shot shocks on my ripper also. My car was assembled and never ran because the shocks broke...and the original owner gave up on it.

As for different shocks, you can probably use anything...kyoshgo golds, associated, etc. You'll...

Back when I first got into RC, these cars were current. My first car was a Fox but I always wanted a Hotshot or preferably a Supershot. I never got one. Fast forward 25 years and now I have a chance to pick up a Hotshot for less than $50 which I...

HI!... I picked up this original Hotshot off Ebay about a week ago. Got it for a good price. Got lots of extras with it as well. Enough to build about 85-90% of a 2ND Hotshot. lol! It's missing a few things like front bumper, window netting etc....

Last post

Looks perfect. Nice touch fitting the MSC on this shelfer. I'm always so quick to change out the wheels that I forgot how cool the OG white ones look on this model.

Saw a few posts on Hotshot/supershots here. I have a hotshot and wanna get it to run 2.2 wheels. The width of DF03 looks great to me.

If i wanna achieve the width of DF03, any idea what kind of width should I use for the 12mm hex wheel adapter??...
