Mod of Hotshot chassis: 2 FRP??

Post by tiger1 »

Hi:

I remember years ago I saw a Hotshot modification using 2 pieces of FRP. One on the left and one on the right of the gearbox and altogether get rid of the tub.

There was drawing of the mod on some websites, may be the tamiyaclub??

Anyone has a pointer??

Thanks.

If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

Hey thats my chassis, cool someone find it from tamiyaclub.
That chassi was made in England, lets see, maybe MMS have made it, not sure. Little bit dumb because you had to use rc10 steering linkage.
