description  As there are 2 Hotshots on the TC homepage, I thought I'd re-add mine with updated photos. This is new built and completely vintage except for the wheels which are from loaded. It was an absolute delight to get the chance to build such a legend, so many years on . I really do think the box art red body and gold wheels look amazing on this total legend of an RC. A true true Icon. Thanks all, J

Agreed John, a total legend and a definitive icon in Tamiya's history. Stunning from every angle and the Gold wheels just complete the look. Absolutely superb.

Stunning as always mate. Added to my favourites. Never had the pleasure of working on a Hot Shot yet, but I think I might just have to start looking for one.

A real beauty. I am daily in my hobby room and whenever I am there, I have a look over all my vintage cars and I love them all. But still, the Hotshot with the golden wheel is simply outstanding.

looks gorgeous, that looks like it could have been straight from the tamiya catalogue . Thanks for the comment on my own re-re john and am now starting work on my vintage hot-shot that arrived today... pleased to say its in really good condition. Hope to get it gleaming like this but doubt it ever will look this good.. regards hot rod

Scorcher night last night! so why not have a Hotshot night tonight!!! I am so happy to own a scorcher at last! but the Hotshot is also one high on that list!! and i just love the look of the Hotshot and this looks top draw JW! I am the odd one out tonight as i don't own a Hotshot but i damn well wish i did!!

Excellant, I have a new box kit that I cant wait to build and i've also been lucky to get the gold wheels for it also. Promised myself I cant build another till i've sold some though yours has given me inspiration I must say
