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

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.

Finally finished my HotShot today.

Tried to get it as close to box art as possible.

Here's the pics.

Nice Hotshot. I have one too, the only thing I'd like to improve is the steering.

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

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.

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