And my Super Hotshot is finaly done
craigsterolla replied to Pata76's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Thanks, I just found a couple of them by searching based on your info, 35-45 USD! Sad thing is, I think I am going to get one. Looks like the part number is UH-03. Listed as for Hot Shot but I think the wing is the same on both. I'll probably get it and record the dimensions / make a outline just in case anything happens to it and I need to get a new one fabricated. These parts are getting hard to find. Hunting is part of the fun, though. I like what you did with the front springs/dampers. Did you just attach that to the aluminum upper and lower arms from RC Channel? I should upload some pics of mine soon. I got it about 3 years ago. Put it together and ran it quite a bit. I got tired of breaking front suspension parts so I shelved it. Then I finally did the Avante steering hack. That fixed the bump steer and the reliability issues considerably. I also replaced the front knuckles with aluminum hop ups from ebay (listed for another vehicle. It was a couple of years ago so I don't remember which one). I also changed the tires over to 12mm hex nuts so different wheels/tires fit - but I am still waiting on new tires to come in. Right now I have stock egress tires on it. Runs good but that back wing does take a beating when I crash. -

OK - where did you get the spoiler? I have been looking for an aluminum spoiler for a while now. I knew I had seen it in the past but haven't been able to find one lately.
