    My latest Hotshot!

    in Vintage Tamiya Discussion

    Posted

    It's likely to be the oldest Hot Shot you have too. Going by the 3-hole bumper, that appears to be a rare early Mark 1 Hot Shot you have there.

    Yeah! I guess so.. I didn't even know anything about a mk1 a few months ago. Didn't expect for this one to come this early.. :)

    Overall its pretty complete..

    A few stuff needed to be fixed:

    -front hubs

    -shock covers

    -tires

    Lots of clean up to do.. Very dusty!

    Tires looks there is not too much wear.

    Looking at the front shock , it just looks like they have turned the front top arms upside down

    & added the shock off the arm . Just look at the 4th page on the manual & you will see .

    Looked at the front arms closely again it has three holes in it. Also different finish on the plastic.

    Not the same as the stock ones the frog ones. Pretty close to the bottom ones it has. Just the holes.

    So it could have come with the shock mod.

    @Oldschoolrunner Should be an easy one.. Maybe a clean up will do it. Didn't see any broken parts on it. Hopefully not.

    Found a new body for it with original stickers! :)

    Nice, a black sprint motor!

    The Parma shock was usually blue, but it looks like the Parma mono damper and upper arms.

    The rear trailing arm mounts were in the pressed parts bag in the original kit, but they are in the drive parts bag on the re-release. I'm not sure what the extra part is on yours. I don't think it's CRP, the CRP hopup was a red plastic part.

    Thanks! Thats the second frog i got that had black motor included in it... :mellow::ph34r:

    The extra parts could be custom made didn't find anything about it. I'll find out when i dismantle it..

    @Leethal driver Thanks for the info too..
