Tamiya Hotshot Evo V

Post by SHY »

Hi guys! This is a car I've been constantly modifying now for almost 10 years. It's now in it's 5th Evo stage. Too much to mention but you can find it all here (on the bottom it's linked to the previous Evo and so on...):

http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=130350&id=22039

The goal is now kinda reached - it's as fast as for instance a Tamiya Top Force or a Schumacher CAT2000. And still sporting a lot of Hotshot'ness :mrgreen:

It's at present the most winning car in our "Nordic Vintage Challenge" series. We're shortly doing race #7.

Thx for looking & good luck guys!

Perhaps the car will do better this month without the pic of a naked Farmer right below it. :lol:
They asked me what I was thinking!? I simply told them... I wasn't. :roll:

Well from the looks I ain't got a hope or a prayer but here's my entry. My RC10T Team Truck. She started as a bare chassis and I found the rest of the parts from there. Re Re Body, original decals, new original tires all around, wheels ain't quite right (new release lightweight for 1/4 axles), new a-arms, re re tranny case, and most of the rest is used originals. Had a blast putting it together, Hope you like. :)

Masami 2007 Replica Japan Worlds

Post by Patriiick »

First time
This is a feeble attempt at a replica of one of the Masami cars that ran at the worlds in Japan in 2007.
It came from a completely destroyed B4 (caked up bearings, broken parts etc..) that i sanded and cleaned every part, added Shiny Mip bones, Yokomo balls cups and all the blue bits.
Had to source an early version B4 body and the right wing but it a stunning end results.
Next up in getting it stickered correcty and maybe adding electronics.. the Yokomo zero is near impossible to find.
Enjoy !!!

Agreed! I hadn't seen scr8p's body before tonight. It's really hot! I'd love to get my hands on it!

Seriously, I hadn't seen that one. Very nice!

That Yokomo is dead sexy too. It reminds me of a trip to Albion Illinois circa 1990. My thundershot was lined up next to 7 YZ10s. Just before the starting bell I look at everyone and say "You can't win a main without breaking a few yokes." Then my battery dumped after 3 minutes because my car was 3 times heavier than all the others... :oops:
