Super Hotshot is nice. 'Mega' Hotshot will be even better.

I've been after one of these kits from the day it hit the stores in early 2012 but have never managed to get round to securing one.

I do already have a new built vintage Supershot so don't need to have another shelf queen of what is essentially the same model. And besides, the re-release does not come with the all important Technipower motor so is therefore just that little bit less special. Make no mistake though, it was still wonderful to see Tamiya bring this one back in *almost* it's complete glory.

I actually bought this kit to use as the foundation for a project to make a hopped-up-to-the-max 'Mega Hotshot' and intend to use SHY69's magnificent 'Hotshot EVOIII' creation..... http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=125472&sid=22039 .....as a reference point. I'm not quite sure in which direction I will go just yet but it will get as many modern hop ups & electronics as possible to turn it into my own modern take on the Hotshot.

I already have an original vintage Hotshot runner, completely standard with MSC and Mabuchi 540 motor. This sooped up version that I intend to create will be for the other end of the spectrum, to see how far the original design can be tweaked, although I guess SHY69 has already shown us that. :)
