Tamiya Hotshot II Blockhead Motors Edition Online Build - Part 1

We finally got the Tamiya Hotshot II Blockhead Motors Edition buggy on the workbench and built, bringing it to you in two full videos.
In this first one, we go over the tools needed followed by the front and rear gearbox, front and rear suspension and attaching the front and rear clips to the chassis.
As usual, this is a fun (and unique) build that you don't want to miss!
Enjoy the video!

Nice video very hellpfully for to build this kit, btw what type of chasis this hot shot? I try looking in the tamiya official website i can not found what chasis this kit

[@Competitionx]

Thanks. It's kind of a proprietary chassis. If you're interested in buying, here's the link: alnk.to/1C6O62F.

Great build but throw the plastic bushings in the trash never start a build without the proper ball bearing kit I use Fast Eddies!

[@Competitionx]

Yup, we always use Fast Eddy bearings!

[@schuttrostig5729]

You kidding, right? Why do you build it with the plastic bearing imitations instead of using steel ball bearings?

[@Competitionx]

Because it came with them. This wasn't an upgrade video and, honestly, I'm probably not going to run it all that much. More of a shelf queen :)
