Guys for nexy yr the Venom vintage festival has made a few changes to the Hot Shot class. All will be running the whizzy silver 540 motor :lol:

Had one as a kid, and I picked up a non-running example a couple years back. I think now is the time to get it going. I don't want to bash with it, just poke around the front/back yards.....since parts are expensive and hard to come by.

Just got my Big Bear out of the attic. Tires are shot, speed control is shot, want to get it going. I e-mailed 1001modelkits.com to see if they had any recommendations.

First post

I always wanted an Egress, ever since I was a kid. So I got one as a birthday present to myself earlier this year. Won an eBay auction for a seriously beaten up Egress for ~ $300. I figured it would be better to rebuild a beaten up Egress than to...

Basically, if you want a shelf queen, it's hard to find a better one. Even driving it on the street, or on a smooth off-road track (you Euro guys like those carpet indoor off-road tracks...this should do okay there), it's decent. The track I race at...

Going to throw together a little build thread for my Hilux. I went looking through my emails, and I purchased this rig around July 2006. I ended up buying two Hiluxes, and putting the better parts into one build, and selling it off for close to what...
