foz75 93 Posted October 2, 2021 I started this a year ago, but what with being away, covid, stripping the chassis holes and waiting for a new one, it's taken until now to finish. And I've just realised I've missed the number decals from the wing... I wanted to do something other than box art, but that tied in with the black and red of the chassis to avoid needing to paint the red parts. Only upgrades so far are full ball bearings, the wheels, and the colour. I might look for a different motor on black, which will fit in a bit better. I also need to swap the ESC battery connector for a deans so that I can hide the cable more easily. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3750 Posted October 2, 2021 Based on the colour scheme does the "BL" on the lights stand for British Leyland? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18806 Posted October 2, 2021 I assumed it stood for Bright Lights. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver-Can 402 Posted October 2, 2021 Nice looking 'shot. Is it airbrush or stickers? This was my first build when I got back into the hobby 10+ years ago. Still one of my favourite runners but its limitations are quite noticeable if and when you get a more modern chassis. If you do run it, be sure to upgrade your pinion too - the soft alloy pinion won't last long and will end up eating your spur gear. Enjoy 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foz75 93 Posted October 2, 2021 the only stickers I have for the lights are the BL ones in the kit... would like something different but these are better than nothing for now The only paint on there is the PS41bright silver, everything else is stickers (cheap flag stickers from ebay, nothing special). And yes, I need a steel spur but I won't be running it too much or too hard Silver-can, I'm also NE england - any recommendations for places to drive? outdoor dirt circuits, or even just a good area for bashing about? I'm not interested in carpet tracks - these are meant for proper dirt! thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, local woodland and park areas are my favourite spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEE71 53 Posted October 13, 2021 I've just finished my Hotshot build in similar fashion going against the box art. Really should get pics up here. I'm also in NE , Marske by the Sea near Redcar and also looking for places a middle aged man can use it! I'm loath to use the beach for obvious reasons and would love to get back on a proper outdoor circuit at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWarty 1325 Posted October 13, 2021 That's a sharp looking Hotshot! Really like the color scheme and black wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
