Super Shot question

[Mirrorman 248]

Hi, I wonder if someone can help with the dumb question I have.  I thought that all the parts on this car were plastic ?? 

I purchased a Super Shot from Ebay a while ago.  Now that I have more time to check it out some parts look different from other Hot Shots I've seen on the net.

I have never owned a Super Shot before, so this is all new to me.

Those might be hop ups. I don’t know maybe they are standard on that model.

The metal front knuckles are aftermarket. The SS had red plastic knuckles originally like the Hot Shot. The FRP rear shock tower and battery door are factory parts although the battery door looks to be an odd color in the pic.

The battery door may just be faded, its a vintage Super Shot
