Tamiya "HOTSHOT II" (1987) 13 years 2 months ago #584

HI!... This one might not need too much to restore it to original condition. But still going to tear it down, clean it and go through it.Over all it's in pretty good condition. I'll be replacing the body and the tires, but besides that it just needs to be gone through and cleaned. I never realized that the HOTSHOT's used so many BIGWIG parts or vise versa. :mrgreen:

The body looks promising.
Team Blue Grove makes good repros.

HI!... Got the body mounted tonight. I need to find a steel access plate so I can mount the body clip tower. The previous owner did not supply it when I bought it. If anyone has one, let me know. :mrgreen:

Well I finally got around to putting the decals on the body/wing. Also got wires soldered onto the motor. Was cleaning up my RC shop and found a NIP set of HOTSHOT/II wheels! NICE! LOL! This car still needs a full restoration. I just ordered a new chassis, electronics box, and roll bars for it. The gearbox cases seem to be o.k, but all the front/rear "A" arms need to be replaced.

HI!... Well got quite a bit done on the HOTSHOT II. I still need to buy some new rear tires and try to find a NIP underguard. That's going to be fun. :n: Just waiting on the MSC aluminum mount to get here so I can install the new MSC/servo.
