Thanks for the comments guys. After watching Dylan's Hot Shot run around the track in Melbourne last year at the off road enduro I was inspired to get my own 'SHOT' up and going. While this car is hardly going to take on Dog Fighters, Lazer's and Cats' it definately has a great vintage feel to it.
If it weren't for Mark (madracer) and Mario (horsepower) I would never have realised this car. Thanks guys.

The rims are available from a seller on ebay. Pretty reasonably priced to -

First post

So as of now I am keeping the 6 gear and doing a little modifying thanks to lowclasscc and was wondering about what kind of gearing I can go with my set up. I have a 27t P2K2 Pro motor and was thinking of going 81/24, is this possible or will I run...

Last post

Here is my setup:
Reedy 17t Radon.
76 spur
25 pinion

76/25 * 1.83 (assuming ratio from 6 gear tranny) = 5.56 (48 pitch)

Feedback from another forum member:
87/20 would be better for a 6 gear tranny

Granted my motor is lower turn than yours so I...

Almost finished my Super Shot.

Just wondering what tire /Rim package you are running.

Ive come up with a 5 spoke 2.2 rims with hex drive shod with losi studs.

Gives a little more clearance for max lock with bell crank steering Mod.

Cheers.

Thanks.
I should have taken a pic of full suspension compression so you can see no bump steer. Has a lot more lock too.

Thanks Jason ( Bormac ) i really got to get myself a camera and learn how to post pics.

For Racing losi or pro line rubber will...

Ive recently purchased a pair of Tamiya old school uni's from dave but was wondering if there are any modern CVD's that are around for the above mentioned cars?

Last post

I'm no expert on the HotShot by any means but I do know that RC Lohas are producing some cvds for the front. It might be worth checking with them to see whether they fit the standard HotShot as well as their red HotShot. See here:

I still have my 30+ years worth of Tamiya parts :D . When the Frog was re-re I got one for Christmas, but I still kept the original one I got when I was 9.

Tamiya found a way to make money, without having to do much extra work. There is a market...
