Braydun 67 Posted January 5, 2022 Really needs my hex adapters to come in so I can throw these bad boys on! What do you guys think of these Pro Line rims and tires? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambragol 152 Posted January 7, 2022 They look good to me. They have a bit of a 'street' vibe. What are the tires? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambragol 152 Posted January 7, 2022 Also gotta say, love the look of that You-g red bumper. May have to pick one up myself. I've seen it in black too, or maybe dyed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought so too and apparently they're slicks that are good for clay as well as the road! The rims are Pro Line show time rims, the rear tires are Pro Line Prime MC Rear tires, and the front tires are Pro Line Shadow MC 4WD Front tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braydun 67 Posted January 19, 2022 Got the JG Dart body trimmed and mocked up! Also got my wheel adapters on and fitted the new wheels but the adapters are too thick and only leave me a few threads for the wheel nuts, anyone know a thinner wheel adapter that will work? These are 6mm, I probably need 3 or 4mm. Also a little showcase of my cars! Re-re Frog, original Madcap that I just finished, and original black pan RC10 that is my next project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldSchoolRC1 664 Posted January 19, 2022 Axial SCX10 wheel hexes are pretty thin, will get you a few mm (and clamp on to boot) - PNÂ AXI30427 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braydun 67 Posted January 20, 2022 Anyone have a good way to attach the front wing to the body? I was thinking two way tape but the stuff I have is pretty thick and would cause it to stick up. Are hot glue or super glue an option here? Thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Braydun 67 Posted January 20, 2022 Well, the body is done and I'm loving it so far! Let me know what you guys think. Did I go a little too crazy on the decals? Lol Next I am going to have to drill some holes in the chassis to run my motor wires through because the provided hole is too small for a sensor wire and three motor wires. Let's see if I can make this work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braydun 67 Posted January 21, 2022 Got the holes drilled and the wired pulled through, just gotta solder everything up but I'm waiting on a new soldering station! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braydun 67 Posted January 21, 2022 Can't get enough of this thing, really happy with how it turned out! I am so ready to rip it lol 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braydun 67 Posted January 21, 2022 Well I jumped the gun and just soldered all the connections with my old station and it worked just fine! Took it outside for a few minutes and even though it's dark and freezing, I had a blast! This Hotshot kicks ***! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambragol 152 Posted January 22, 2022 Looking good. A few more shots from different angles would be nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, have been bashing the badword out of this thing so she's a little dirty and beat up! The aluminum spoiler was definitely a bad idea lmao I just picked up some Weld/ Mickey Thompson drag wheels for my Top Force Evo project and I thought I'd throw them on the Hotshot to see how they look 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braydun 67 Posted February 5, 2022 Also had to make a custom battery bracket at work to fit my big 3S battery! This thing flies with this combo, haven't confirmed but looks to be at least 50-60km Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeWings 2429 Posted February 6, 2022 @BraydunThat looks a beast! I’m about to rebuild a hotshot I picked up. Not quite sure I’m up for 60kmh though😮 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll get a radar gun on it soon but I'm going overkill on my Top Force Evo build, hoping to go even faster and hopefully not destroy the diffs lol The MIP diffs seem to be holding up pretty well so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I lost an upgraded dog bone while driving the Hotshot which is part of the kit, totally my fault yet they sent me a whole new ball diff kit for free! $200 value here in Canada 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EsotericRC 80 Posted June 20, 2022 Nice build. Recently started a resto-mod build on the vintage Supershot I originally built in 1986. Definitely looking at adding the MIP Ball Diffs as well, but am trying to figure out which CVD's will work with them since I hear that the output cup ball size is different (larger?) than the standard Hotshot dogbones. Is that correct?  I wanna run CVD's so I don't have to worry about the dogbones falling out...

Think I might have to go and order the set for mine, right now...heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
