Nice video again, shenlonco.     It's pretty amazing just switching from NiMH to LiPo alone gives so much noticeable gain in power and your video is evidence.

The HotShot (original) was my last RC car back in the day before I moved onto another hobby.  I had a blast with that car, so much usable power it was fantastic.

Thank you, it really makes you gain so much more punch on 2S lipo.  The HotShot is a beauty! Thanks

That's crazy! Yes mine is slower but never will break like yours will these buggies were not meant for the power your putting through it.

To be honest these cars are tough, run more then 50 battery packs trough it on the beach and did not brake a thing on it, only the outdrives are worn now.

But I have got the super hot shot version, I think the suspension parts on the normal one are a little fragile.

yeah on loose surfaces it will be ok but if you jump it and land on hard dirt or in grass it will be much harder on it... sand acts like a big slipper clutch.
