Looks kinda cool as is ! Just add a faded red odd wing and some rust and its there

Hi, I wish I had old photos like you have. Very cool! I once started with a Hotshot and I still have that car. I will always have a soft spot for the Hotshot and got really inspired by your build. Might have to get a re-re and build something crazy. :) Is that chassis available from Factory Works? ...

I finally got a small break in the rain today so I took her out for a quick squirt up-n-down the road :D pretty pleased with her , holds nice and straight at speed , slight under steer if you apply gentle inputs but if you throw it into a corner it turns on a sixpence ! Handling is most comparable t...

Probably not with his FF being modern brushless powered but I'm quite bloody minded so it'd be closer than you'd bet on !

Oh My !
That came out really well , we have no snow here so pop it in the post and I'll be happy to review it

Painted the body today absolute disaster , poor choice of colours and tried and failed at a new masking technique , really dreadful ,not sure if I'm ever going to show it I literally just ordered another in disgust !

That gearbox was made by the guys that made Stonehenge! Might last as long too!

Its so familiar to drive that its odd , not driven any Hotshot for 35 years ! I guess its why I like the Mini Mustang so much because it drives so much like my old Hottie !

Just for once this was easy , just can't resist an 834b doggy !

That dogs off the leash and running !

When I was a lad I never had the money to spend on a Dyno and probably never saw the need at my level but now I find myself curious about them , I guess I'm trying to work out how curious in relation to cost ! I have an inductive loop digital amp clamp and a simple laser rpm meter is only about £10 ...

Movies ? James lives next door ! Lovely chap just a pity about all the gunfire and cars screeching around at all times of the day and night , HRH Harry across the road is always complaining at the neighbourhood watch meetings but what can you do ?

I only have a mental age of 12 , growing up is optional for men , women know this !

Once you can print in nylon and carbon fibre nylon then the strength is good enough , you do still have to design or modify designs for the printing process , I've literally printed an entire car less the metal parts , see my Yo-clone-oh project .

Rapid prototyping used to be all they were good for but the target for the technology is way beyond that , the motor manufacturer industry is investing in the tech for the parts market , instead of a warehouse full of slowly moving parts they aim to have 3d printers to make the part on site in a mat...
