New 2007 Hotshot!!!!!!!!!!

[homerboi]

I'll be nice to have both vintage and new side-by-side.

Looks like the prices of the old hop ups for the Hotshot will now start going through the roof as it doesn't look like Tamiya will reproduce them.

Not so long ago these could be bought for an average price of 25!

Wonder if people are buying these to convert their re-re Hotshots into Supershots?

62 pounds are 91 euros! This is ridicolous!

I'm sure you can take an existing set and have them plated (vacuum metalized) for less! and they'll be more durable than the vintage ones.

The yellow shock upgrades seem to have gone up slightly but not much, they're still only 17.99 on ebay, which isn't to bad.

That Hotshot looks nice, I may save for one of them or a DI later in the year

[Dinonet]

not sure if anyones seen these pics already but here they are all the same

...and the forthcoming re-re does not seem to be affecting old stock kit prices either.

Amazing what some people will pay for a couple of blister packs......

hmm, i seem to have missed something along the way.

so the Re-re will come with a pinned middle shaft, not the hex ends?

It looks to be so according to the photos shown.

And interchangeable from re-re to original??

I hope they decide to release the Gold wheels as a hopup for it too. Cant see any reason not to

Pictures from Donut at 2007 toy fair, wow thanks !

[Tipsy]

The new release hotshot is using the same wheels as the original, so the Supershot gold wheels would fit straight on.

Hmm, that's interesting...does that mean that the box art will now feature white wheels? If so then I think you can forget about the gold wheels being available as hop-ups....

[RedFrits]

Well, placed my pre-order at RC champ. Wondering what they will charge me for transport etc. but this is my childhood dream!!

[stulec52]

How much longer?

I can't wait for this to come out !

4 days I believe!!

The 2007 Hotshot will be reviewed on www.rctvlive.com . That was one of the cars I have been emailing them about and they finally gave me the word they will have it on! I asked when and they said I could sign up for an email update when it will air. this should be cool! If they would only bring back the sand scorcher now my life would be complete.

[RedFrits]

Well, my Hotshot 2007 is posted and flying to Holland in a few days!! Can't wait to see it arrive! I feel like I'm 16 years old again when I saw the Hotshot in the toyshop and it was too expensive for me... Finaly (although it is an other version) I have my own Hotshot. Pictures will follow as soon as the kit arrives!!!
