I attach the other screws M3x10 should suffice.
Always pretap the threads before as it can be hard sometimes (use a big handle screwdriver helps)

Next is the Batteryplate
I reuse the M3x8 tapping screws of the OG Hotshot.

The Hotshot and Supershot bodies don't fit on the chassis but the Hotshot 2 body does.
