Time for another project thats been hanging around on my shelf for some time now....

Restored it with all vintage parts, just need new bumper, get the goldplated wheels and spiked tires, a body + wing and decals and it should be all fine when done
(with the technipower motor ofc)
Seems my Striker project is on the ho;d for now

Nice one.
Sounds like a pretty normal list of parts to get for a Tamiya addict.

After digging through my "spare parts department" i found a vintage Hotshot bumper set and some rear spiked tires Front ones are ordered so should be here within some days.



Now for the gold plated wheels, thats another story... they charge 80 euro fot them
So i digged up some old hotshot wheels with 3 layers of paint on them out of the department.
After a mornings cleaning and stripping they look good enough for me.



Now wait for the result after painting...

Love that motor dude.

So after spraying the cleaned up wheels the result;


looks good enough for me

Now the front tires have arrived also



Only 2 things left now, paint new driver and get the body for the Supershot.
The price is too high atm so i will probably wait with the body for the Super
Hotshot to be released and see what prices do then...hopefully the will go down

Cheers, Bram

Nice job on the wheels - not quite up there with plating, but an excellent DIY result

Nice work. Looks great with the new tyres.

I think those rims came out really well, considering they sprayed not plated. What paint did you use?

I used a local brand on the wheels (i live in the netherlands).
Don't know if you can buy it anywhere else...

Hi guys, fed up with the crazy original Supershot prices so i am continuing this project with some re-re stuff...
Got the wheels, TBG body and the Super Hotshot decals.
