Thanks - yeah doesn’t need to be an original hotshot part. there are zero in stock anywhere so thought I’d ask here agreed I may have to go 3D printed or repair the one I have thank you JJ

I have a few spare FkySky receivers available. They are the Flysky FS-GR3E 3 Channel 2.4Ghz receivers £12 posted or 2 for £20 PM me... JJ

Hi all you lovely peeps im after 2 parts I’m doing for a friend so he can hand his hotshot 2 to his new son when he’s old enough I need a driver / chassis / mechanisM box (19335482 / 9335482) and the rear shock tower mount (D parts tree) im in the uk thanks JJ

Great info JJ

My dual rider just arrived from Modelsport I just fancied a different kit to build and they are cheap and as someone else said - the dial rider is very anime and i LOVE AKIRA and kaneda’s bike can’t wait to build it but I have a backlog JJ

@markb_s1 RCbearings all day every day as for your servo horn - I always try and use a bolt rather than a self tapper and make sure it’s long enough as it should be ripped out that easy JJ

It’s got to a sorry state when my beetle gearbox is constantly outliving the bodywork and chassis components JJ

What seller cover do you get on fb marketplace? gumtree sucks as people are just rude I don’t find the eBay fees too bad and you can get more £ for somethings plus you can factor in your eBay fees if you need to JJ

It’s not great I’d sold and shipped the same day like i always do but my money didn’t come into my account (skipping PayPal) for a few days after I shipped I prefer the paypal Way and I’m more inclined to reinvest that PayPal money back into eBay JJ

That looks fantastic JJ

Best bet is to drop @Xeostar a PM Jj

Just go on eBay and see what your can find I picked up a 2nd hand rechargeable cateye stealth 50 gps JJ

Looks great mate JJ

@markb_s1 What do you class as budget? I’d buying from Modelsport for eg, postage is free over £100 so if you go for £80 you have to factor in the extra. plus make sure it’s got an ESC as you may find a cheap lunchbox but with no ESC then that’s another £25 to add I’d suggest a DT-03 for £110 being ideal It’s got a torque tuned and oil dampers Ita a great build and a fun body to paint JJ

If you wanna risk your £500 phone that is i just picked up a bike gps speedo it’s small and compact and was only £20 id considered the apps but putting even a second hand mobile into an RC car is far from ideal JJ

Oh well - was only trying to help Sorry I picked up these 2nd hand for £20 So that allows me to get all of the kits in a runner state JJ

I sell skyfly receivers for just under £10 delivered JJ

Most cars come with motors and ESC servos and Rx can be had for under £10 each and you only need 1x £20 transmitter JJ

Because they are too nice to smash up I’ve a 2WD buggy, 4WD buggy and monster truck for driving (and a cheapo RTR) The rest are for show - but have motors, servos and receivers and are paired to a transmitter JJ

@Snakehands I don’t think it was a response to your work, just in general. i like the Rothmans scheme JJ

Refurbed a Dirt Thrasher over the past few weeks - lovely car Was in quite good condition shell Unpainted and no decals Lots of sand everywhere so it all went in the sonic cleaner came out well JJ

@studioRS very nice. How do you do your body panel lines? JJ

Fancied a wow stick as the xiaomi stuff is superb but it just won’t have the torque for self tappers JJ

I use a sharp scalpel - you really don’t have to press very hard and use use the tip Modelcraft PKN9210# 3 Scalpel Handle & 5#10A Blades, Silver, Set of 6 Pieces https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06ZYLRH6H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_5QNTP1Z63Y975NBGF2E6 just draw like it’s a pen JJ

Score and cut all day long then clean with a green scouring pad then kitchen roll dry then light spray for first coat then a few more heavier coats then I back with either silver, black or white good luck JJ
