Very nice, love the white body and wing, goes really well with the wheels.

is it a runner, or does it live on the shelf?

Well it was meant to be a runner but it hasn't done many miles over the winter! I just wish there were more places for a middle-aged bloke to run them round here!

Do you any of the indoor electric clubs ever hold events just for vintage owners to parade their models at all?

I have absolutely no idea to be honest. I only got back into RC at the end of last year. Tamiya Junkies is looking interesting for me but not been back on track since around '88!

Luckily I'm 2 mins from the beach so just finishing a Blitzer Beetle for beach bashing. I didn't really want to use HS (or Top Force Evo ReRe I've recently finished) on beach.

Thought I’d give a quick update.

I haven’t done anything more to the Hotshot due to the fact I’m waiting for a donor  to arrive from the States.

I plan to use the best bits from both models to build the mk 1 then sell on the remaining parts.
