I remember when the Hotshot came out, it was so high tech with the 4WD and the single shocks. I still think it's a beauty, thanks for having us along my friend.
The best Hop up is always switching from a NIMH battery to a lipo , took me awhile to figure it out . Pretty good impersonation of the guy doing the Tamiya commercials to Steve .
Such a cool place you got there for the speed tests, Steve. Not sure what it is in kph (what about converting it on screen for the rest of the world - just a thought). But +3 mph for the LiPo was surprising. Was the NiMH freshly charged? Voltage on NimH’s drops quickly if it sits on the table for too long. Anyways, it was nice to see the blue Hotshot again. Always a treat. Good job with the voice over. Hope your mic can be fixed.
Thanks I had to buy a new mic but also have one GPS video from when the mic broke that I still have to do. Nims fully charged and ready to go. I think I will go out tomorrow and do a couple more GPS tests on some new RC's. Thanks for watching.
Cool video, can I just ask if you ran it in 4wd? I drop the front drive shafts out of my super hotshot to make it 2wd and a bit faster, not easy to handle but lots of fun!
Hi those rear things I used are a vintage part CRP I think, I purchased on e-bay that you can use up front or in the rear they are slipper clutches so you can loosen the wheel nuts or tighten them up to let the slippers slip so the tires wont break loose. Thanks for watching.
Hi thank you, It's a vintage part I think CRP made it back in the day, It protects the rear A arms in a crash or if you hit something in front of the wheel so it stops the A arm from snapping off. probably does something else but I am not 100% sure on this. 😁
What is the c rating on the gem ace and and I still make those types of batteries that are 135 mm long so I can fit them in my fighter buggy RX and how much are they?
Hi Brad How did you like my tamiya classic video voice trying to sound like the famous guy in the videos? Also look here scroll through there are a few 2s tamiya style packs www.amazon.com/s?k=tamiya+2s+lipo&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
Hi again. Sorry I keep posting on your old videos 😅. Anyways. Any long term review with this 21t motor in your hotshot? I’m wanting to put 21T in all my hotshot family’s but wondering how the diffs and gears hold up. I AW grease all my diff gears.. want something a little better than a sport tuned and my motor of choice are the holmes hobbies retro sports because of the internal fan for cooling. Thanks 👍
Thanks, I am sure you can find a larger capacity pack that will fit. I think some places may make these NIMH shaped lipo packs that are 4600mah or maybe more.
Yeah it will be even slower with the stock kit motor because I put a 21T motor in this one! your used to those fast RC's this will feel like it's in slow motion..... but it will look like a beauty that's for sure when you run it around. Thanks for watching.
I remember when the Hotshot came out, it was so high tech with the 4WD and the single shocks.
I still think it's a beauty, thanks for having us along my friend.
Yeah it was awesome when it first came out and still is awesome today! Thanks for watching.
The hotshot is new and improved and ready to crush!!!!
🔥🔥🤘🤘👍👍
Yes sir! Thank you for watching.
Nice video, Steve! The Lipo sure woke her up a little! Sweet looking Tamiya buggy. Nice donuts, too. All the best, Steve! :O)

Nice Steve this is one of the best looking buggies of all time
I agree! Thanks very much.
That was great.
My first 4wd was the Hotshot back in the 80's.
I definitely want to get another one.
You should! Thank you so much!

Yeah they give you the power! 😁

Hi na I ran 4wd. Thanks for looking.
lol, cool vid. what rear wheel adaptors do you use?

the flap underneath the batterytray looks cool. is tihs a selfmade part? and whats the purpose? nice buggy too. very cool

Oh my that buggie is a blast from my past, except mine was the Hot Shot 2!
Hello friend
If you can watch my videos friend
COOL! the hot shot 2 was a BEAUTY! Thanks for watching.
Bright blue's a great alternative colour for the HS. Lime green's not bad either.
Thank you,😁👍 Yes I have a lime green super shot also.
Nice Steve😉👍
Thanks very much 👍
@@ShenRC 👍
Very cool 👍🏻🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool... Nice video
Thanks!👍
Wooww
Good video my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
What colour blue is that? Looks wicked!
Hi tamiya PS3 light blue. Thanks for watching.

This motor has been fine no problems. Thanks for watching my videos I don't care if it's old or new ones!
@@ShenRC okay cool. My main concern was gear and diff wear
Just make sure as with all tamiya kits you use a steel pinion gear as the stock ones melt away real fast and mess everything up!@@NoNoRc
@@ShenRC yep. I’ve ordered steel pinions for every tamiya kit I own. Ive felt butter harder than those aluminum ones
Not sure if it has already been asked, but what pinion are you running here? As the kit comes with a 13t and 15t pinion. Cheers
Hi it's been so long I will have to check it and reply back to you ... stay tuned.
Hi just looked at the hot shot it has the 15T pinion installed in it.
@@ShenRC Thank you! And love watching your vids.
friend I have a 7.4v battery ... can I use it in my car that is 6v? will have a problem??
Hi what car? also sometimes you can and sometimes you can't. Thanks
@@ShenRC My car is MZ 2838 1/14 6V
@@enfrees Not sure your going to have to change it to find out.
@@ShenRC thanx friend 💪🏻
Yes 👍. That’s 4x4 ?
Yes it is! A beauty of a classic! Thanks for watching.
very noice
thank you
Looks pretty zippy for a 21 turn. Do you know if a bigger capacity 2s lipo will fit the hotshot?
Thanks, I am sure you can find a larger capacity pack that will fit. I think some places may make these NIMH shaped lipo packs that are 4600mah or maybe more.
is that gps reader up to the task
Yeah just got to leave it sit on for like a few min to connect first on short busts it does ok.
You didn't get any flooding out there by you did you hope you're all right after all that rain and fury.
Yeah it was bad but I am up high, we got 6" of rain in a few hours floods all over trees down and dirt and big rocks all in the roads. Thank you
Carnival Barker haha
I don't know what your trying to say but thanks😜
I wanna wear that GPS, and see how fast I can run lol
Ha ha yeah it would work! Thanks for watching.
Just uploaded
cool!
I got me one ordered....seems soooo slow compared to my arrma and Traxxas trucks n cars😂.....my speed car is Abt 80 mph faster than this car.. 😂
Yeah it will be even slower with the stock kit motor because I put a 21T motor in this one! your used to those fast RC's this will feel like it's in slow motion..... but it will look like a beauty that's for sure when you run it around. Thanks for watching.
