Purchased this one online.

This was the add: "Original hot shot 2

New gearbox internals .full new ball bearings throughout. New Torque tuned motor .ecs.futaba servo and transmitter and receiver ,1800 NIMH battery and wall socket trickle charger .few aluminum parts made underneath car to replace damaged plastic ones (actually alot better).original tyres and wheels hex hub adaptor included if you want to get new wheels and tyres .x tool included also copy of manual "

So far I'm liking it. The two front shocks are slightly different so looking out for some of those. Unfortunately one of the dog bone drive shafts fell out of the back :( in action. It looks like the little pins are a bit bent and worn. I have found a company in Japan selling these on fleabay. I did the buy now but I'm waiting for them to update the shipping details. Been waiting 2 days for a response so may have to look elsewhere. I plan to run Lipos in the future. This is my second only Tamiya. The first was a GHopper - Loving the 4wd. Let me know your thoughts

Welcome to the club and that is a nice SHOT.

Sometimes the dogbones can come apart when running, yeah. One of the reasons for that is when you are not using the tiny o'rings to ensure the contact. Do you keep those o'rings there?

Once again welcome to TC! :)
