Dose Anyone Have A Hotshot Manual (bumper With Three Holes)

[c_smith]

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a first release Hotshot manual. If someone has one that they are willing to sell I am interested or otherwise all I realy need is a scan.

I checked the TC reference manuals but it appears that we don't have variations.

What I'm trying to do is compare the early release to the more commonly known release with no holes. I already know that the bumper, underguard, bumperstay and front gearbox mouldings are diferent are I have a feeling that there may be diferences in the decals.

This thread http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?...c=8096&st=0 will show you the differences in the bumper. The other difference between the early and late models were the front pivot balls that screw into the upright. The first ones had an M3 thread, which pulled out of the steering knuckle easily. Later ones were changed to an M4 thread, with a redesigned knuckle.

Once the Supershot was released the Hotshot lower wishbones were modified to include the fixing points for the Supershot shocks with a triangular cut out in the front wishbone being replaced with a round hole, and the rear wishbones having a ridge underneath to protect the supershot shock mount being damaged.

There were no changes on the decal sheet.
