Looking great Mark. Something about that rear monoshock that's just so wonderfully 80's Tamiya. What a thing of beauty! Great video as always, my friend. 👍🏻👊🏼
Thank a ton Fil! You know, the quirky design of this Tamiya really floats my boat! It's got classic Tamiya allure in spades! Take it easy my friend! Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Hey there Cobber🤠🙋♀️. So sorry for the late viewing, I don't know how we missed this video. It's certainly very different from the TT02. It's looking great mate👌. Your driver turned out awesome! 🏆 He looks alive as we saw him through the front of the cage. We hope you're having a fantastic week mate, All the bestest from Sheila and I 👍🦘🇦🇺
Hi there me old Mukka! Or should I say Cobber!?!?! Mukka is an old Black Country (in the West Midlands of England - "black" coming from the use of coal in the industrial revolution that started here) saying meaning "best friend" Enough of the history lesson! 😅 Always great to read you mate! Never worry about missing my videos, I'm just glad you watch my channel! Into the weekend now and all good, hope you and Ingrid (Sheila) are doing well, all the bestest to you two down under! 🤩👊👍
It is such a cool looking buggy even with the body off of it!! Great job on the build guide as well and it is really looking like a buggy now! Take care Mark and have a great week!
Hi Addam! Too right, this thing looks ready to hit the dirt even without a body! Thanks for the kind words, I must admit I do enjoy making these build guides, it's kinda therapeutic! Have a great week too my friend! 😎👊👍
Hello mate, how many times have l built a Hotshot! But that counts for nothing as l love watching you build this its a special buggy and you go about building it in such a calming manner! Looking great mate and tyre lettering too! Very nice! I imagine this has been done a while but looking forward to seeing what you do with the bodyshell?? I love my Hotshot and it had to be boxart but this buggy does look amazing in other colours! I always think its a shame to put the wing on a cover up that interesting mono set up on the back but this buggy needs its wing! Great stuff, l have been outside with an RC today a quick blast around the garden as the weather is fantastic it was great fun and put a smile on my face for sure its been ages since l last drive an RC and l am going to put that right more often! Cheers buddy have a great second half on Sunday Cheers James
Hello James! Well this is the first one I've built but I wouldn't mind doing another one! Such a special buggy to get into! Glad you enjoyed watching even though you've done it many times. The tyre lettering looks good from a distance mate, don't look too closely! It'll probably last 2 minutes on the first run! 😂 Good to hear you got some RC-time in today - it's called "therapy" my friend! Definitely need to do it as often as you can. Always makes me smile, too. Wishing you a great week ahead! 😎👊👍
@MarkBryanRC Yes Doctor a prescription of RC is definitely needed at least 3 times a week😆 Thanks buddy and tyre lettering looks great mate and you are right it will come off anyway in time! Always nice to see it in that first running vid! I surpose you have already driven your Hotshot as the vids are behind! Such a cool buggy!
@MarkBryanRC Mark l look forward to seeing it mate l bet it will looks great 👍 Yeah getting older sucks in a way l am finding out that! All the best my friend 😉👍
Starting to look like a car now mate! What a quirky buggy, it goes together really differently from anything I have ever built! They certainly enjoyed the use of zip tie's on this one. Loving how the electrics are safely concealed in a covered box, and I also love the roll cage with the netting..... she's a thing of beauty, and obviously a very enjoyable build. That's one stiff (not so) wibbly wobbly on there..... same as on the 959..... they create some pretty impressive flips when you roll it, and end up a little bent in no time! Very enjoyable matey. 😊 👍 👍 👍
I know mate, you will see the final result in the latest video I'm sure! It certainly is quirky but one of the most rewarding builds I've done! I hate the zip ties though! 😅 The component tray for the electrics is good but fiddly to get at to do any changes, so it's good and bad... I thought for a few seconds about fitting that wibbly wobbly, but though a nice stiffy would be good for a change! 😂 Cheers my friend! 🍻😎👊👍
@@MarkBryanRC Good stuff fella! Looking forward to the next instalment mate..... I'm running a bit behind on everyone's videos at the mo, one day I might just beat Paul!! 😂 Great to hear that you're fitting the stiffy for a change, very retro mate..... I've also heard Barbara's beaver is a big fan of a good old fashioned stiffy ! 😂 👍 👍 👍
@@MarkBryanRC He he. . . 😂 😅 🤣 👍 And on that note I think I should leave the chat before I end up posting something that may potentially get us in trouble!! 😉 👍 👍 👍
Right on! Chuffed is a great word, ain't it?!?!?! 😅 Those triangles are basically half a hex, mathematically anyway! Fingers crossed it will be a sweet ride. 🤞Cheers mate! 🍻😎👍
Another brilliant episode from 'Sir Sticker Master' Mark Bryan. 🤌I hit 90 McMiles per hour with the TT02 last night and no crashes! So close to 100 and still the original body!! 😁🏎💨
I really appreciate your comment, Are! Doing these guides is easier than it looks! Yeah I did like the metal antenna option, so very old skool! Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Great video my brother..... I did the same swap with the on/off switch with my Wild One and I recommend doing the swap if you have an old burned out or not working Tamiya esc, it does make things much easier to use/work. Again, great video man!!!!! ATB to You, Lou & the kids!!!
That's very kind of you mate! Yeah there was no way I could work out how to fit the 1060 ESC switch! Good job we don't throw anything away, everything goes into the spares box here! Cheers Bob and ATB to you and the crew!
Lovely build guide as always, Mark! If I were to build this kit, I would find it helpful to have watched your videos beforehand. All this weird engineering in this buggy, mostly cool and fun, but also some things that annoy me, all those damned cable ties, and wires hanging out the sides, flapping about, and what about that battery tray cover, why not have made it so it can protect the motor also? He he, I'm all into TD4-mode again, aren't I? My favourite part coming up next, the bodywork, looking forward to watch that one! Have a good one there, my friend!
Thanks very much, Mads! I hope you do get one of these kits, I reckon you'd love it! Haha, you did go on a bit of a TD4-mode rant there! 😅 Yeah those wires did bug me, but I manages to route them out of the way on the next video and it doesn't look so bad! The bodywork came out well, I hope you like the colour! Cheers mate! 🍻😎👍
Hiya Mal! Yeah it's a great ESC but I agree, the switch is a pain in an old Tamiya! Hehe, 😅how could i not go with a 27mHz with it's massive aerial on this classic Tamiya! 😎😬👊👍
Looks SUPER Mark!! I don't know why tamiya never updates that rubber cover that goes over the switches to like silicone or something they always dry rot real fast? Won't be long before your ripping it around!
Thanks Steve! My thoughts exactly, how many of those rubber covers have I got that have already split?!?!?! Loads! 😅 But yeah, this buggy is almost ready to RIP!!! Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Hiya mate. I'm really liking the look of this one. Looks like a great build and it's very solid looking. I do like the way that the old buggies had a big solid bumper because they are bound to be driven into trees fairly often. One thing I always thought looked a bit naff on these is the roof being attached with cable ties. Surely they could have made some little brackets. Anyway apart from that it looks great. Are you going with box art red for this one? Hope you are having a good Sunday. Decent Weather for a change. Best wishes mate 😁
Hiya Pete! Yeah this is a very cool buggy, the more I got into the build, the more I liked it! Very well specified and very solid indeed. Haha you know I will crash this thing into a tree at some point! 😅 I don't like the zip ties for the roof or the window netting either, I did use twine instead of all the ties though. This one is going to be green, I had a little agreement with Paul Coughlin, I chose the colour for his (pearl white) and he chose green for mine! Anyway, Sunday is going well thanks, and I know you are enjoying a well deserved beer as I just read your reply on your video! Cheers my mate! 🍻😎👍
Great job Mark. Fiddely is right on the spot for this car😊
Many thanks Dirk 😊 🙏 yeah this is definitely a fiddly build but very enjoyable all the same! Cheers 🍻 mate 😎👌👍
The original HotShot is definitely something special. That rear monoshock design is definitely a technical marvel lol - Very very cool!
You got that right dude! This actually feels special even as I'm putting it together - definitely a classic! Cheers! 🍻😎👍

Excellent guidance for assembly of this kit, my friend! Well done indeed!
Many thanks! Your comment is much appreciated! 😎👊👍
Yup looking good Mark. Once again just letting it play through While I listen and work on a rig. :)
Cool, thanks Nick! Hope my droning voice doesn't make you fall asleep as you work on that rig! 😅 All the best to you my friend! 😎👍

Always thought these look good even without the body on. Nice tire writing 👍🏻
I think you are spot-on, Damian! Doesn't need a body to look like a cool buggy! The writing looks better from afar, mate! 😅 Cheers! 🍻😎👍

Hey thanks brudda! Yeah this thing will stop for no man! It's built like a tank, can't wait to get it out on the dirt! All the best, my mate! 😎👊👍
Chuffed indeed! The wheel hex er um triangle thing is quite different. Will be a sweet ride I’d say! Cheers!
Right on! Chuffed is a great word, ain't it?!?!?! 😅 Those triangles are basically half a hex, mathematically anyway! Fingers crossed it will be a sweet ride. 🤞Cheers mate! 🍻😎👍

Thank you very much, Sir! Wow, that's going some with a TT02! Good to hear the body is intact - go on and smash 100 my friend! 🤞🤩👍
@MarkBryanRC Just need a stronger motor and I'll achieved quite a feat. Thank you for all your tips and advice on the build, my friend. OOH! 😁💪🫡
Great job and how you explain everything. I was expecting a wibbly wobbly but then i remember it got metal antennas :-D
I really appreciate your comment, Are! Doing these guides is easier than it looks! Yeah I did like the metal antenna option, so very old skool! Cheers! 🍻😎👍

I love the Tamiya Hobbywing ESC but the on/off can be a pain, why they did not have there switch put on I do not know. The long aerial so Tamiya.
Hiya Mal! Yeah it's a great ESC but I agree, the switch is a pain in an old Tamiya! Hehe, 😅how could i not go with a 27mHz with it's massive aerial on this classic Tamiya! 😎😬👊👍
