Thanks to @taffer for proving me wrong!  :lol:

Looks like the OG cage to me @$corpion.  Great news for those of us that love the HS2. 

 

Also glad to see the lower profile cage!

Cant drive the box.🤣

Believe me, buying a kit just for the box lid isn't the craziest thing I've done when in this hobby. :P

Which out of the hotshot buggies do you like best?

The early 1985 Mk1 Hotshot, with the 3-hole front bumper. Hands down the best looking of them all.

My daughter (armed with her crayons and magic markers) would disagree with that statement. ;)

I also agree!

I'd do some pretty shady things for a new three hole bumper/skid for mine... :blink::ph34r:

Good luck with that. I’ve been waiting for a NOS 3-hole C-tree to come available for 20 years.

Considering the kit got a measly one month production run, I think it’s fair to assume that spare parts trees never made it out of the factory.

Yup, my understanding of that kit is that there were no spares ever produced/sold.

Well I’ve been waiting a long time for this so although I can’t really afford it I’ll definitely be getting one. Just the 959 and original clod to go and my want list will be complete 😁

This awesome news! Gonna pick up two of them. I have a spot right between the HotShot and the Super HotShot.

I finally gave in and ordered one, it's just too good looking to resist.

I usually prime driver figures before painting them with x paint, is that normal?   
I'm thinking about skipping the primer when I paint the drivers torso and head for this car.  (because I ran out of primer)  Are you guys just applying the x-f2 and x-11 paint straight to the chassis?

Not the chassis, but regular driver figures, I just paint directly onto them without primer.  I guess it depends how serious you want to get about it, but then if you're that serious you'd be airbrushing....
