Very Hot Shot beach action
Hi there, this is my Very Hot Shot with a 9T brushless. I`ve also updated the wheels and painted them and the body black with a gold web spray. The heat sinks have been anodised to match the motor. I`m also using lipos now so the power is even more amazing. It was definatley a fun run, don`t know if these pics really captured just how fast this car really is. The only bad thing about this is that it makes driving the other cars feel sooo slooow. Hope you enjoy the pics.
And now...the Hot Shot
Getting ready

Awesome beach shots. I want to take my buggies to the beach for a run but am not sure about running them in the salt water.

Looks awesome with those wheels. They look like the ones of the Durga and I think they suit your ride very much. In that 4th pic I think I can imagine the speed it was doing......

Neat touch, how did you anodise the heat sinks?

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I actually used Tamiya TS-72 clear blue 500 spray for the heat sinks, works well. Light coats and allow to dry inbetween.

Can´t go wrong with black. How is the tranny coping with the new power source?

Ah, clear blue paint. Will remember that for future projects. Ta, Nige.

Thanks again guys, your comments are very much appreciated. First time I ran on the beach was about five years ago and I keep coming back for more. I`d say it`s a must try. Sand brushes off fairly easy when dry and you may expeirience some surface rust on screw heads if you dont spray with oil first. So far i`ve only checked the pinion and the spur. The pinion being alloy is holding up fine. The tires have been retreaded using BK XTREAMS, Infinity pattern on the rear and Vert pattern on fronts . Thanks again guys and hope to post up more action on my Sand Rider project next time round.

Looks fast standing still in photo 1. Love this and is straight in my favourites. Thing is do I bring forward the Hot Shot build or leave it in line behind the others I've got stock piled? Great car.
