Tamiya Hot Shot

[@BigSupes81]

When I was a kid around 1985 I used to have a Tamiya brochure with all of the different buggies in it. I used to sit and stare at all of the action shots in amazement. Thanks for taking me back to how I felt at that time.

[@Tamor70]

Thanks for your lovely comment! Glad you remembered :-) ...and yes, these brochures and catalogues...the stuff of what dreams are made of ! best regards

[@tdbricklayingandbuilding]

I used to stare in the local hobby shop window at the tamiya cars until my dad got bored! Ten minutes if I was lucky!! Never got one as a kid but a dad to a six year old boy now so can indulge my childhood fantasies and he loves tamiya too!👍👍

[@user-uh6lm5wv6n]

I did exactly the same. The magazines and the actual boxes themselves were something to marvel at.

[@fordfsd]

I did the same thing!!!

[@macallanvip]

I remember that catalogue- I used to do the same thing. Great memories!

[@joeyaerosmith]

This car, in my opinion, has the best design ever made it's just perfect!

[@Tamor70]

Hope you could buy one in the meanwhile... :-) ! thx for your comment

[@AverageHuman7026]

Superb filming! There were so many shots where the buggy looked lifesize. As far as looks go, the Hotshot will probably always be one of my favorites.

[@Tamor70]

Thank you for your great comment! I'm glad you liked :-) best regards

[@World-Superbike]

Absolutely one of, if not THE finest 1:10 rc model to be produced. Period.

[@Tamor70]

Thanks for your comment, and yes, in my opinion defenitely a unique pioneer...:-) best regards

[@budbarlang3729]

one of Tamiya's most iconic buggies. brilliant video just like the original Tamiya promotional videos

[@Tamor70]

:-) Thanks for your nice comment, and yes, since I love the original promotionals from Tamiya, mine are similar :-) best regards!

[@TwinEnginesRC]

Looks like it's very solid in construction. Really cool rc and video!

[@Tamor70]

+TwinEngines RC Thanks very much, and yes, the construction - even been criticised at the time to be too complicated - is quite solid for some serious action :-) best regards

[@flibbertigibbet6200]

Love it this should have been the official advert for the car they would have sold tons. And people moan about the Hotshot suspension not being up to it, But it seems to work pretty damn well in that vid. got mine at home waiting to be built and gold wheels on order lol And just bought my boy a grasshopper which was my first rc when I was 10. love they brought these back.

[@Tamor70]

+Flibbertigibbet Very much appreciated your comment, thanks! And yes, the Suspension seems to be an issue for some ..., perhaps I was just kinda lucky...and yes these gold wheels are (unfortunately) extra order.... - But no complaining, with all these re-issues it's like 2nd x-mas ! :-) best regards

[@Matteomeier]

[@BennyTheWoo]

Great stuff! A saved my pocket money to buy a Hotshot in 1985. It was my world! Recently I had a talented friend track down an original that came with Futaba radio and even a prefect box, and then he totally restored it for me. It is fantastic!

[@Tamor70]

Cool! Great to hear :-) Good thins should be preserved as long as possible though - Thanks for your great comment, best regards

Tamor70 You Sir, have made me very happy with this video, it truly elevated the awesomeness of this epic car! It just has something about it, something extraordinary and you certainly brought out the energy associated with it in this video :D So it should be me thanking you for sharing this awesomeness. :)

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

That Buggy was EPIC when it came out! Your choice of music fits it perfectly. Awesome video!! I miss white letter tires! 😕 They look so much better - and I have no idea why they stopped.

[@Customwinder1]

Great vid 👍. I had a Frog and a Striker back in the day. A mate and I built a track out the back of his place and spent many hours racing and modifying our cars. Also really good to see no negative comments. Well done people. Little things like this prove we can all get along.

[@Tamor70]

Thank you for your great comment :-) ! And yes, "modeling" is a good thing to do, with good memories, as you also mention :-). If it's scale or not - see on your channel, that you do 1:1 buggies ! Pretty awesome, but you need that space, which you got there in Australia....here in tiny switzerland you could bet on complaining neighbours....;-) best regards from tiny switzerland!

[@Customwinder1]

Good on ya mate look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@MrJOSEPHMAMA]

You have skills... I built an original HotShot back in thd 80s and I ran it just last week. I upgraded to a 13t motor, radio and speed control. I also have 4 "modern" trucks but people always say, "cool buggy".... Lol.

[@Tamor70]

Thanks for your great words! :-) ... all right, you did so!... must have been a nice experience to run it after all these years. I didn't own a hotshot back in the 80s though, but I was really impressed when I run first ! And yes, this Buggy is a bit a eye-catcher...but (I think) trucks are cool as well :-) best regards

[@SovereignKnight74]

EPIC VIDEO AND AN EPIC R/C car. When I was a kid I could not afford one. The best I could get was a Tyco Turbo Hopper. Damn the 80's was great!

Lol.... I had one soon after ( lucky me) I had to build it to of course.. Loved it for many years.....then sold it as a teenager.....wish I had kept it!..would love it in my collection.... All the best...

[@Tamor70]

Thanks Sam! And thanks for your further comment :-) ... I was lucky enough to keep mine at the time though... but actually, they re-issued the Champ as "Fighting Buggy"... I got one, but it's still unboxed :-) All the best from switzerland, Daniel

[@rcalltypes7008]

Nice buggy, it deserves to be built with a ball bearing kit & the Tamiya gt tuned 25t motor (Tamiya ESC motor limit).I'm using a Tamiya rz 23t super stock motor, 13t steel pinion gear & a 7.2v 3300mah traxxas battery. Gps speed was 38kph with 13t pinion & 44kph with a 15t pinion. Both of those motors have more torque than stock motors, good for a heavy 4x4 vintage buggy.

[@Tamor70]

+Rcalltypes Thanks for your great comment and input. And yes, to have more Performance you're right. But if I go for filming, less Performance makes it easier for me to catch up...;-) (Long time ago, I've passed my 20iest Age....;-) ) best regards

[@Tamor70]

Hi! thanks for your comment :-) ! And yes, true, this kit is not really a simple one though... it's been "criticized" at the time to be to complicated, eg. construction for just one shock Absorber for two wheels... BUT i hope you defenitey can enjoy building it (or is now already finished) and maybe also go for a decent driving (experience), it's worth for sure :-) all the best !

How did you get your front suspension to work? I just finished build on a re-re Hotshot, and the front suspension sits squat, and when depressed, it bottoms out and stays down. I read up online and many people seem to state that this is a problem with the hotshots with monoshocks. But in your video, the front wishbones are pushed all the way up and they actually work!

[@Tamor70]

+Sage Kim Hi there, thanks for your comment & question. I try to answer: first, my chassis is 100% Re-re as well Second, perhaps it helps if you adjust the spring (strong enough) on the front damper. Mine is, eventhough it works, quite soft & slow. Hope you can fix it on yours.... best regards

Also, does the Mabuchi Motor RS 540SH work well? Should I change? And Bearings... FastEddy? Thanks :) Great Video :0

[@Tamor70]

Hi there, thanks for your great comment! To your questions: I simply used kit's content, so Mabuchi Motor 540SH, common ESC and no extra (ball-) bearings and it goes VERY well. I'm sure you could use brushless, since the chassis and gearing I think is very stable. But I am not into brushless for Tamiya kits (so far), therefore I can't give any advise which one to use. I hope you'll find your best setup and you'll have fun anyway :-) best regards

[@Tamor70]

Hi Martin! Thank you for your comment. And congratulation for your purchase, very good choice, 'cause it IS A MEAN vehicle, very cool too drive...- So, you're asking me for extra stuff for the built? Paint, yes: Best, you're going to use Tamiys Spray, for this polycarbonate body, you use the "PS"-Sprays (so for red: PS-2) - this is in the manual mentioned, for the plastic parts, such as driver figure, you use the X- or XF- colors by Tamiya (or any other for plastic parts paint). Oil: should be all included in the kit, no additional (normally) needed. I hope you have a ESC (electronic speed controller) for the "electrics". I think that's about it to make it running.... Maybe you started already, but anyway: ENJOY all of it, building, running, repair (hope not...) and just to play with it :-) best regards, Daniel

True....if they're out of stock at the resellers....maybe you'll be lucky and the kit will be reissued once more.... I got mine in 2009 for less than $200... Thanks for your comment & all the best!
