Terry, Sorry, a little OT, but just checked out your gallery: very nice to see a Hotshot in there! I had one of those in the 80s and greatly regret selling it now. It was a great little RC car. I still have an original Frog that I'm going to give a little TLC when the new spares come out. James

Thanks guys! Do you have a part no. for the white wheels, or any idea where I can find them? I've looked and found some that look like them on the, which are part nos: 53880 and 53881... Will the other branded wheels fit without 'dremel-ing', in terms of clearing the A-arms, etc. Are there any other shocks that fit? Preferably metal ones (that look metal, rather than the blue coated aluminium ones)? Cheers, James

Uhm... can you paint these wheels successfully? Like silver, to give an 'alloy wheel' look? Or will it just flake off the first time you drive it offroad? James

Hi All, New to the forum, just getting back into Tamiya RC (used to race them when I was a teenager) and just mail ordered one of these babies. It all sounds good, except I hate the original black wheels, what are my options for replacement wheels on this model? Any replacement shocks/ hopups, etc. available yet? TIA, James
