Re: Talk me out of buying a Hot Shot
Well it sold for $61 and I am kind of kicking myself that I didn't get it as it went so cheaply. But I am glad I didn't because another will be along eventually and I am really not in the right position to get another car when I have no time to put into them.
Also now I know what they are worth and am in a better position for next time. So if anyone sees one on their travels let me know.
@Hoopty, I know it was missing parts but I thought I could just make them.
Thanks a lot all.

Re: Talk me out of buying a Hot Shot
Don't buy it! In fact you want to send all your stuff to me instead so you don't have anything left
...but then you won't have anything left and will miss the whole hobby scene and need to buy something to get you back into it so you might want to buy it
...did that make sense to anyone else but me(?)...if so I'll split the stuff he sends me with you

Re: Talk me out of buying a Hot Shot
They have one at my local hobby shop, and they're asking $269 for a used vintage Hot Shot, It's nice looking though, but not worth the $269.
The car in the shop made me want to buy a Hot Shot, but I know that as soon as I have it, I'll probably want to sell it.

You can buy a re-release very cheaply if you just want to check one out.
