Upgrading Tamiya for the 2023 revival

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Can't wait to see the Super Hotshot build video, and to see it running. Oh, and looking forward to seeing the MB-01 running too ;)

[@PopalongRC]

We have so much to get done

[@Pablo668]

Looking forward to seeing the build of the Super Hotshot, and see it go racing. The closest thing I have to a Hotshot is my Boomerang.

[@PopalongRC]

I look forward to getting it finished

[@Helghast73]

Look forward to the Super Hot Shot build and what this other car Mark has 🤔 A quick question though regarding brushed motors and breaking them in, is it worth doing and best method for a noob 😅 That’s a shame about the Abarth body as it looks great, can it not be removed easily? keep up the great work and enjoy this week of summer we now have 👍

[@PopalongRC]

It depends what you want to achieve We don’t tend to bother as the gains are marginally… brushed motors can be water dipped but this will shorten the life of the motor …

[@Helghast73]

@@PopalongRC Well it was to make it last but as it’ll shorten the lifespan there’s no point. Cheers for the reply too 👊

[@dankforest]

Great paint job. I love patena looks

[@PopalongRC]

Got another one ⚠️ WIP

[@lo2713]

Dont google 2 cars 1 cup, you have been warned 😂 i loved my super hot shot, but sadly had to move it on 😭 i’ll see you both there on sunday 👍

[@PopalongRC]

See you there

[@johnnyhaberfield721]

Not the" Cup Mug ", dilemma again.Speaking of big prizes, I was back at Gatwick raceway again Sunday.Briliant day.Thanks to all involved and you too mugs.✌️

[@PopalongRC]

Glad you got down to Gatwick raceway… that was best race day for us ….

[@reldwob22]

Really looking forward to this build, because I have a Super Hotshot kit ready to build! I'll watch your mistakes and then make my own new ones.... ;)

[@PopalongRC]

Hahahahaha easily done

[@joshuathompson2131]

When I was stationed over there at RAF Mildenhall tamiyaclub would rent out large venues like Snetterton and make a weekend of racing vintage cars. Was a proper good time and had fun watching the cars try to not hit each other and stay on the track. The wild willy race was too funny. How's the new MB01 running?

[@PopalongRC]

Sounds amazing Not run it yet !!!

[@leechorley3750]

See you guys at Oswestry, I ran a Hot shot a couple of years ago at the Broxtowe one a top force last year and this year I'm running a xxx4 i would definitely recommend chatting to the guys at pukka parts for some handling upgrades

[@PopalongRC]

Need to look into that for sure … looking forward to the weekend

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Great video. Sorry gents. Was a busy weekend didn't catch this video until later.

[@PopalongRC]

No worries

[@Nordlicht05]

Iam only about two years into tamiya. Never really looked up for. Had my rc buggy and good. These have a lot downsides but it often depends on how you look at it. But there is something strangely interesting about these models.

[@PopalongRC]

Totalling agree Nordic👍

[@danjaz2000]

Don't get me wrong I got a soft spot for a hot shot...(dreaming...good times) but I do recall the old hotshot getting beaten by one inch of grass. Hehe and the never ending speed controller melt downs.

[@PopalongRC]

Ahhh, the good old days😂👍

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Vintage racing, serve it up when you're ready lads!!

[@PopalongRC]

We certainly will buddy👍
