Blinged up Re Re hotshot

Post by Rizzo »

This is my Hotshot, It won't be to everyones taste thats for sure, but I like how it's turned out. It's been built in readiness for Vintage racing here in Sydney later this year.
I like the Box art, but it's not for me.
Enjoy......or maybe not.

I tried to mimick the boxart pose

I don't like the standard bumper so I thought that I would make my own, it was polished alloy but it took the look away from the mono shock so i painted it black. I don't like it though & will try to make a better looking one

I really like the body and wheels, the rest is too much bling IMHO. To each his own though! Either way, nice job on it. Did you have the parts plated, or are they aftermarket?

I like the chromed cage, would perfer a satin finnish, but it helps to highlight the bars.
The standard black cage somewhat disappears with the dark cockpit and black surrounding plastic parts. The plating does away with all that Cool!

Thanks!

Heres a couple of pics of it's first outing. I was worried that it wouldn't turn corners that well since it doesn't have much of a turning circle, but I found that when approaching a corner if u back out of it then get back on the power it would just drift around.
Looked great on the track
