I reallly should get my hands on rebuilding something along the same lines.
Crossovers are always fun to watch and give the viewer some own ideas!

She did ok at the vintage meeting at Tontonland in Japan, but to be honest that's not a big reference. Aku's and Tankasan's A&L converted ultima's were beating the snot out of it ofcourse. But it held up and came true the day without damage.
Hi everyone - so much like when I started out with the Sand Scorcher project, I'm a complete and total newb with the Hot Shot. I picked up a re-re at a lhs for $199 - which wasn't bad so I pulled the trigger.
I've already started hoarding some...

I ever have the thorp hotshot ball diff , yes the out drive is slot to keep the swing shaft.
I bought this for my son, me and the wife assembled (mostly her) and I painted.

Nice Hotshot! I have those same wheels on a Supershot. They were made in the UK from a guy on ebay. He was selling these for a decent price about 4 years ago. Those Thorp spindles are a bear to find. I sadly sold mine last year :roll:
On a recent free Saturday afternoon (rarity indeed), I got in some local track time with my VONats Hotshot. There's a racer at our track who likes to take pictures and he's doing a great job! Thanks to Corey for the images. :D

@emerson- thanks! :D
@sonic- no problem. It's a little cold for the vintage plastic anyway and I'm going to my kids' soccer games. :wink: Hopefully we'll catch you up there in the spring.
