Tamiya Super Hotshot Review, is it super hot or super not?

[@joedipietro2559]

This is beautiful BEAUTIFUL 👌👍 I have 1 also but did box art. However i do have a new body shell and decal set. Mine has a Super stock rz Tamiya 23 turn and using the 13 tooth pinion to take advantage of the new motors rev range which peaks at 27,500 rpm i get 27.5 mph or 45 km/h using a 2 s lipo battery and the full bearing set.i also got a Hot Shot 1 and Hot Shot 2 ( 2024 but not the block head version) and i love them. Fastwr believe it or not than my Kyosho Fazer Chevy Camaro with brushed G 14 motor. But not as durable as the Kyosho Fazer.

Thank you 🙏😀 Yeah I love the Super Hotshot, always wanted one when i was a kid, just had to wait 30 years 😂. It has an iconic chassis (along with the Hotshot) and I could just look at it all day long. No idea how fast it is but I have a Super Stock BZ in my Boomerang with a 13 pinion and the Super Hotshot keeps up with it easy with a 15 pinion. I could get a little more out of it if I drop the front drive shafts out. Bump steer is a problem though, she can be a bit tricky to handle sometimes at speed. Thanks for watching and for the fantastic comment 😊👍

Hi Si! I'm very late to the party, but finally followed MBT's links to your Channel! All buttons and bells now clicked, I dove straight into your Tamiya playlist, Nice to see a Toy Channel including these nostalgic Beasties! All the Best! :)

If you lower the ball joints at the knuckle side you will decrease the bump steer.

@@KT_One thanks for the tip 😀👍

That’s cool man, I really wanted the Super Shot back in the day but got the Boomerang instead, which was still good, just not as cool 😁. Thanks for watching and commenting, it’s much appreciated 👍

not a toy because spend too much time fixing it

[@Retrotoyguysi]

But there in is the joy! 😃. Actually I prefer tinkering around with the thing more than driving it 😂 Thanks for watching 👍😊
