[@reitplace4765]

That looks like a great kit.. I need one of them family rigs soon. Great vid Fred like the new style intro..

[@FastFreddyRC]

It does! Overall I definitely love the colour scheme and I think it's going to look fantastic when built. Thanks Paul!

I reallylike tge Blockhead Design on the Hot Shot. Looking forward for yout build.

[@FastFreddyRC]

Hi Dirk! It really is a great colour scheme. I'll be curious to have both the BHM cars sitting side by side. There is a possibility that the blue is slightly different...but overall it looks great!

Great unboxing of the BHM HotShot Freddy! Wasnt a great fan of it when released but now its actually growing on me to be honest..have a nice day and thank you for sharing.🙂

[@FastFreddyRC]

Thanks Peter! I'm with you 100% Over time this really grew on me and like I said the article in RCCA finalized my decision to get one for the channel :)

Hey Freddy, another great kit to build. I’ve always wanted the WildOne, but unfortunately not got the budget for one. Also been curious about the HotShot both one and two. But will just have to watch you instead 😊😊😂😂best wishes 😊

[@FastFreddyRC]

I always wanted a Wild One and when the BHM version came out I thought it looked so good. They are definitely more expensive though. There are certain kits I’ve always wanted to get over the years but they just aren’t in the budget…Bruiser for example. Maybe one day. I’d love to get the hot shot II being that it’s just been rereleased but with me getting the BHM version I think I’ll have to pass for now. It’s a tough one John..so many great kits but you have to decide which ones are more important to you. You can’t get them all :) And I’m already seeing a few new ones that were released at the Fair!!!

Thanks…..I can’t wait to mimic this build from the video clips. Got my kit ready and waiting. If anyone reads this do subscribe as no one else does videos like this step by step in real time….and not a 100 MPH. It really helped me do my 1st ever build at 48yrs old a monster beetle. I am grateful to your channel. Jon from London UK.

[@FastFreddyRC]

Sweet Jon! Glad you've got it! Ok I'm just going over everything and will be starting to shoot videos on this very soon. Appreciate the kudos!! :) - In your kit does it come with the HobbyWing ESC? Just checking because if it does I'll use that ESC for the build so that what I'm doing will be the same for you.

@@FastFreddyRC Hi Yes it does come with an esc but it has kind of a detachable extended battery plug. I actually need to get the controller and servo. Which I’ll order for next day delivery but can you recommend a fairly decent set up. I’m going to build the wild one blockhead which I bought 2 of as I’m going to put one away unbuilt and in the sealed box and other as a show piece. I also bought 3 hotshot blockheads again 1 I’m going to use and one as show and put the other away again in the box as their limited editions. Thanks

[@FastFreddyRC]

@@Jaytee-x5c which ESC does yours come with? As to a radio you can’t go wrong with a Futaba setup. It’s been my go to for years. I have multiple 3PRKA 3 channel radio setups that I just love and they’ve never let me down. For servo you can go with the S148 or the 3001 series as they both work well. Others like Flysky setups but I have no experience with them.

[@FastFreddyRC]

@@Jaytee-x5c very cool though about buying multiples. It’s nice to have a NIB one that you can put away for keeps.

[@Jaytee-x5c]

@@FastFreddyRC I’m going keep them all bagged and boxed up as I’m sure they’re gonna be future classics.
