Talk me out of buying a Hot Shot

[Dr. Robotnik]

So can you guys talk me out of buying a Tamiya Hot Shot. I really shouldn't get it but have wanted one for a while and there's one calling my name.

Cheers

Hotshot was my 1st buggy in 1985. I'm the wrong person to stop you-- on the contrary, I will egg you on.

Are you looking at a used one? Re-release?

[Halgar]

It's just one little car, go for it.

[Dr. Robotnik]

It's used, with parts of the Hot trick kit and an original not a re-release....

The fact that you have even posted here, actually means you want to be talked into it, not out of it. You should have known that.

[Dr. Robotnik]

Man are you guys unhelpful...

I think I could make a nice runner out of it...

If I do get it, I really need to pull my finger out and shift my other stuff...

[Dr. Robotnik]

Oh yeah, what do you think that it's worth? Given I know next to nothing about there current values.

[Halgar]

A cool little buggy like that? It's worth whatever it takes to make it yours!

Nike- JUST DO IT!

I sold mine years ago. Sometimes, I regret selling it...but I had no emotional ties to the car and I knew that prior to building it that it would be up for auction. Plus, I know that the car went to a good home...I sold it to Oliver.

However, I've always wanted a supershot. It's always been in my top 2 cars to have and I was able to build with all new parts...prior to the re-release.

Aw, what does Mel know? You need that buggy, you WANT that buggy. BUY the buggy!

it looks from hwyracers post that the one you are looking at is missing the chassis braces. i can see that shaft binding and possibly bending without them.

get a dark impact.
