I never understood the hoopla with Hot trick stuff. many of the parts were inferior to the stock parts back in the day and it makes them really inferior now considering the advances in machining and cad cam programs.

Seems everything is being reproduced these days. I like it a lot, but a bit pricey.

rb5 ? lovely: smart not to stick with vintage models only. Maybe you can make the parts compatible with the much cheaper almost clones of Ansman, Kawada and (oops forgot the name again).

Another product idea: 2.2 front wheels that match your rears...

This thread reminds me of the Fox my younger brother had. After suffering his second Tamiya chassis failure I talked him into ordering the basic Hot Trick Fox kit. I think I had some of their parts on my frog at that point. The HT chassis proved...

Back in the days I had one Hot Trick car. My Tamiya Fox got a full Hot Trick conversion, resulting in a dramatic change of appearance, a debatable upgrade in driving characteristics - and confusion of threads in my screw box. Today I have several...
