Very cool Hot Shot. I like the bit of history behind it too. Thanks for sharing.

My son... ask for thyself another kingdom... for that which I leave is too small for thee.

Finally I got these restore projects started. I have been collecting parts since may this year and I think I have all that's needed. As my other builds, these two cars will be built by using mostly second hand parts (in great condition).

Wow! Super nice sir! :shock:

Thanks Lars! These projects almost went a bit too fast after I finally got all the stuff needed.

They look fantastic buddy! I always think Kyosho had an off day when they designed the stickers for the Custom Special,...

HI!... This one might not need to much to restore it to original condition. But still going to tear it down, clean it and go through it.

I was thinking that was the look the driver might have 2 seconds before ramming into a wall. :mrgreen:

I dont know a lot about Tamiyas, but I was wondering if there are any aftermarket shocks out there for the Tamiya Hotshot? I'm working on restoring an old Royal Ripper and the Hotshot shocks will work perfectly. Thanks!

Last post

I wound up using hot shot shocks on my ripper also. My car was assembled and never ran because the shocks broke...and the original owner gave up on it.

As for different shocks, you can probably use anything...kyoshgo golds, associated, etc. You'll...

I bought this for my son, me and the wife assembled (mostly her) and I painted.
Had to be bright so he could see it well. Overall a very fun kit to build! It's got full bearings, and I will be dropping in a Sport tuned motor as soon as I get it...

the second buggy i owned, always loved its looks. nice examples guys

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

Last post

@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.

This was the first HotShot that I built. It just sat on the shelf & then I sold it to buy Sand Scorcher parts. i missed it so I got another to run. I really liked the way it turned out but I like the purple one better.
Enjoy

Okay, close your eyes...take a deep breath...and envision this awesome HotShot sporting these beauties:

HI!... I picked up this original Hotshot off Ebay about a week ago. Got it for a good price. Got lots of extras with it as well. Enough to build about 85-90% of a 2ND Hotshot. lol! It's missing a few things like front bumper, window netting etc....

Last post

Looks perfect. Nice touch fitting the MSC on this shelfer. I'm always so quick to change out the wheels that I forgot how cool the OG white ones look on this model.
