[mikedealer]

Did they ever make any "compatible" rear hub carriers OTHER than red, i am looking for black specifically, i know they made a blue set for the later cars, but did black ever happen? talking about original re-re hotshot kit

Thanks

Boomerang are different ,As well as hotshot 2 & super saber. hotshot 2 & super saber are the same in red , with boomerang blue . All of those will fit each other .

supershot & hotshot are the same . But i have not seen another color & But that don't mean there isn't any around possibly ?. Some other company

may have made them . Or you could try & die some ?.

What about Fox?

Re-release Boomerang B-parts tree in black.

Re-release Avante E-parts tree in black. (the E-parts come with the C-parts as well usually)

Edit:

Disregard I was thinking hexes.

The blue rear hubs are 1d more in toe. So is the Red ones in Hot Shot 2 and later versions as mentioned .

The Fox im not sure but being 2wd it more than likely have 2d hubs as well.

You will be better of painting them.

thats what i figured, paint! Blah! lol

would like to see a modified version made from aluminum, thinner in center... i dont know lol. would be a good project.

I've been looking for these too... scouring high and low!

Painting is the last option, anyone have any idea of other black or aluminum hotshot wheel hubs to replace the red plastic triangles?

I want to run the original hotshot wheels that I have died black, and don't want the red hub to show..... red!

Cheers

How about Thundershot black triangles?

Hotshot wheels and tyres are shown in the Tamiya Thundershot video as hop up items, so yes, they should work fine!

What about thundershot rear uprights ? They're black, same basic design, but are thinner than the hotshot items. You could use spacers to take up the slack in the top and bottom wishbone slots. Not sure whether the camber would be the same or not though, but you could always use an adjustable top link. Depends on how far you want to stray from original components.

I've got all the components so might look into this myself, out of interests sake.

I painted all the suspension on my Fox with 'chrome-in-a-can', but they look like aluminium once dry. It's been quite durable to date as a runner. Did the same thing with black and 'chrome' on my Blitzer chassis to get rid of the red plastic parts.

Give them a light rough up with some fine sandpaper (1000 grit), then a thin coat of undercoat, and then hit them with semi-gloss black paint (Humbrol #85 or similar). The finish will look like the black ABS plastic. Best done with an airbrush or spraycan of course.

Mark,

This is indeed what I decided to do. It came out very well indeed and looks pretty hard wearing.

Thanks guys for the suggestions.
