Re: Hotshot Build
Nice job besty! Hotshots are my favorite Tamiya. Is that a re-re or an original car?

Re: Hotshot Build
Thanks mate. Not quite finished yet. Just got to drill holes and put on the stickers.
It's a re re car. Couldn't justify extra for an original. These ones are pretty cheap at the moment with the dollar so good.

Re: Hotshot Build
Finally finished my HotShot today.
Tried to get it as close to box art as possible.
Here's the pics.

Re: Hotshot Build
Thanks. Yes the steering is not great and I find the front end too soft even when it's fully adjusted .

Re: Hotshot Build
Do What i did to my Super Shot.
I grafted in Top Force steering bell cranks.
Was fairly simple to do just took a while to re arrange all electrics and servo.
NO bump steer and full lock from side to side.

Re: Hotshot Build
Thanks for the tip Mad Racer.
Where would I get top force parts. eBay?
