How do you make the picture resemble a Tamiya stock photo? What editing softwares do you use? Absolutely stunning.

My rules are: 1) will my parents notice? (Yeah I know, I’m only 16 ) 2) if parents DO notice, will they have a positive reaction, or tell me I’m wasting my money on something I already have? 3) is it an interesting kit to build? Is it something unique to my collection? (no repeat chassis’s) 4) are spare parts readily available? 5) will it suit my needs? Will it perform well on the surface I intend to run it on? and last but finally not least, 6) will I enjoy driving it for many years to come? The last one is very difficult for me. Some cars become boring once the novelty of the chassis wears off. The majority of my builds end up this way for some reason. Usually the ones I keep have some sort of… uniqueness, some sort of charisma or character that none of my other cars have. that’s why I only have six cars at present, one of which I’m attempting to get off of my hands because I don’t find enjoyment in running it any longer. just my two cents.

:))) thank you again.

I’m at a loss for words. I seriously cannot thank you enough for this …..

Those fit??? Also, mine refuses to go in a straight line. Period. Are my tires (with large knobs + foam inserts) the culprit?

Ah. Used to be an issue (I’d strip out countless screwdrivers per build), but I’ve recently invested in some stainless hex-wrench screw kits. Makes everything so much easier, and the kits are only $30.

I mean yeah, but the Hotshot is bone-stock minus a pack of bearings and a brushless motor + esc combo. I have every darn upgrade for the DT-03, but still no go. What are some tuning tips? I’ve been contemplating selling it for some time now…

What screws did they come with prior? My older kits (such as the TL-01) have the silver (assuming stainless?) screws, whilst all of my new kits have one or two of these and the rest are brownish (which I know rust from experience).

Love it!!

Now tell me, what are some of your custom creations for the “boring badword”? I have almost every upgrade imaginable for the car, yet it still performs abhorrently. I’d much rather grab 4WD Hotshot, which, ahem ahem, actually knows how to drive in a straight line. (My DT-03 has speed, but no handling. As someone told me way back: speed is nothing without direction and control!)

Below is what I was about to send to you before TC told me you cannot receive messages. ——— Hi, I saw your post in the “Postman brought me…” thread regarding a TC membership. Just wanted to say thank you for being a generous human and offering something you spent your hard-earned money on to the community. To be quite honest with you, I’ve been feeling a strong urge to just pull the trigger and grab a membership, but my budget, of course, does not allow. I already have enough monthly subscriptions, plus the cost of self-sustenance (and spare/upgrade RC parts of course). I would love to contribute to the TC community with galleries, videos, and all of the other goodies a membership has to offer. I very much look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Maxim Radziuk

Also “rebuilt” my TL-01 Stadium Raider. Added in new electronics, plus swapped the stock (rare) tires for a pair of Rock Blocks. ((Looking to sell the swapped out tires and rims. Rims are rare. Slightly used, have some curb rash. PM if interested.))

Installed a new motor and ESC combo in my Hotshot Re-Re. Hobbywing Quicrun 10BL120 ESC + 3650 8.5T motor. Running it sensorless to avoid potential headaches down the line.

These were my first upgrades back when I got the car. What’s the next step?

Burnt this one out on 3S after one run. Claimed to be ‘120A’, but you get what you pay for. I’d love to do something like this with my TT-02 Type-S. Any suggestions?

DT03 with the beater body and carpet tires. Will post the Hotshot vrooming around a playset area once I recover the footage from my old phone... LOL

Thanks. I actually went with the Quicrun 10BL120 with the Quicrun 8.5T Sensored.

Lol. I bash that thing to oblivion, just recently fried out my cheap 4300kV GoolRC. I love my hotshot, it has its caveats, but it also has its strong suits. It does well going straight, has nice suspension, and is very agile off-road.

Same here!!!!

I have so many LiPOs on hand, I could probably open a shop!!!! You see, that’s the thing. The V5R’s open-bodied design, lack of low-turn models (nothing below 10.5), and higher price tag is swaying me towards the Quicrun mentioned above. It’s an 8.5T, sensored.

How have you gone about waterproofing the board?? I’ve fried two 10BL120s in the past year (via dumb things like driving through massive puddles).

Oooh, was thinking that! I already have an extra 10BL-120… go for that, or a Surpass? In regards to heat, I run without the stainless top cover.

Hi, Looking to invest in a new motor / ESC combo for my Hotshot, preferably one that is fast (40+ mph). My parameters are: - brushless - sensored - fast - preferably waterproof Excluded brands: - GoolRC - no-name Chinese - Turnigy Should I invest in a stock-spec (ie Surpass Hobby Rocket V5R), or something simpler? I’m looking for performance, both on and off-road. How many turns should this motor be? What ESC would complement nicely? Thanks so much!

Cool! Which body do you have for your CC-02?

Just a few ( ) batteries for my “assortment” of RC cars. Couldn’t resist to purchase the last few Floureons on the market.
