By now anyone who is interested will have seen my Hotshot custom chassis build, which I'm planning to race at Revival in just under 6 weeks time, however as there could potentially be issues with legality, plus the risk of breakage, or it being a total flop on track, and also me wanting a wet car because the custom chassis isn't enclosed, I decided to build this Supershot that I've had lying around NIB since Revival 2019. This won't be a full ground-up build thread since I can't be bothered to take worse versions of pictures you've all already seen. Instead this focusses on the highlights, such as, the box build with the new Etronix servo and Photon brushless combo, plus my old Turnigy GT5 radio that had only just been fixed with a new steering potentiometer at this time. This is what the box looks like inside:

Hey guys, new R/C builder here. Been wanting an R/C car for a while now as it's been a decade or so since I had anything other than a late-eighties Tyco toy. Just built my Super Hotshot and I'm looking at getting some upgrades, namely a BZ motor and U-joint axles. I've got the BZ motor ordered but I can't figure out which axles I need. I'm also looking for a heatsink (w/ or w/o fans) for the motor. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I'm going to give my Hotshot the Super hotshot rear suspention and Boomerang front suspention, but I don't want to buy the Tamiya shocks because they don't have as much adjustability, they aren't the right color and I they might be more expensive then buying universal shocks. I need to know all that I need to know (dimensions, stroke, ect) to find some red shocks that will work good on the Hotshot I'm making. Providing links to specific products is good will me.

So this is happening today.

Hey Everyone, I am in the process of restoring a vintage Hotshot that I plan to run around the beach a little and various other off-road spots. I am keeping somewhat of a "Vintage Hop-Up" theme, and I am planning to run a Tamiya Super Stock RZ motor. My question is, what ESC would you recommend to run with that motor? Thanks in advance! Brad
