The red body rocks, if it were mine I would keep it red. But, you do have a good eye so I guess we have to wait and see what you decide.
Stuart Thorn
Thanks buddy, it’s going to look awesome on your shelf 😂👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends it's going to be used very, very gently
All Black Wing And Body - YEP - Very BADASS , do it bud, go on . You will be Wrapped.
Andrew Reece
Thanks for the feedback Andrew 🤩👊🏻
Can't wait for next ep! Black Mettlic Baja champ/King Wing
bobbavet
Nice 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback my friend 😎👊🏻
I agree Glenn, stealth look will just set it off nice.
Rear wing needs extending so it sits over the rear end more. Those new tyres with writing set it off lovely.
leigh snaithe
Yeah I agree Leigh a big wing on some wire mounts might be the way to go my friend 🤩👊🏻
😁👍Glenn I have to say that's a FU...... BEAUTY!! If you know what I mean!
Shen RC
I do my friend 😂👊🏻
That’s what I’m talking about! Never been a fan of “Tricked” chassis but that is the sickest HS I’ve ever seen! Total badass right there. I purchased one for my Fox and it just didn’t look right and reversed it. You did that one proud my friend!
Maverick74
Excellent thank you 😊
Yeah agree metallic black with a Top Force wing would look Epic!!!!!! I think you have my problem l have just done my BigWig tyre lettering and boy its getting harder these days lol bad eyes and trouble keeping a steady hand is tough now! I am only 46 years young too but the last few years have taken there toll!!👋 but tyre lettering is a must for sure!
I like window nets but good call on that better without! The only thing is those spot lights...not a fan of the black lights with the red body but if you decide to go all black it could be all good then!
Great this hobby mate! You are playing around with your HotShot and l am playing around with my BigWig! Happy days!!!
Keep safe though buddy Cheers James.
Mad-Bee RC & BB
Thanks James 🤩👊🏻
Gorgeous car mate! The red makes the car pop though. but let your imagination be your guide and share your adventure ;)
Steven Peirsman
Nice one Steven 🤩👊🏻
that was my dream car as a kid..it looks great
uroprop
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Yes go for the dark body 👍. Great job so far.
cloudninephoto
Cheers buddy 😎👊🏻
Just had to watch this again....chuffed I now own this beauty!
Bout time! Been hanging out for this. lol TY
bobbavet
Thanks my friend 😊👊🏻
How did I miss this build! Absolutely love it Glenn.
Spot on mate 😎 Some lovely bits on this!!!
The term your looking for with suspension travel when lifting up, is 'Droop' 👍
RTS Motorsport
Droop 🤓. That’s the one I was looking for 😂👊🏻
Hi glen . Thank you for these tips with the shocks . My lunchbox front wheels are to low . . Will do the same mod 🇬🇧👍
Richard Perry
Excellent Richard 🤩👊🏻
Awesome looking car. I reckon it would look sick in a camo style scheme, something with grey/black and white. Cheers Rob
Retro Rob Casa
Wow a camo paint job, great shout Rob 🤩👊🏻
The JG dart body in black with silver hotshot decals with an Optima mid wing would look epic. The last JG dart body you did looked way better than the standard hotshot body. Almost the way a Hotshot should look.
Loving this car nice to see something a little different from the box art build.
David Chapman
Thanks David, I’m definitely looking at doing something very similar to that 😊😊😊
Best channel on CZcams, Great content with clear honest reviews love it!
A thing of beauty! I still would love to see a stealth Hotshot with a larger wing - it would look bad ass! All the best, Toby!
zombiethon
Thank you my friend 🤩👊🏻
I was thinking turn the roof around so he can see, then you did! Awesome man and there is nothing wrong with multiple bodys
George Jones
Thanks George yeah I think a couple of shells is the way to go my friend 🤩👊🏻
Gooood morning Glen!!!! Wow that HotShot looks like it came from out of the grave!!!! Looks like if it ran into a wall the wall would lose !! I’m for making it all black but that looks mean! Awesome video! Keep it stealth! Can’t wait for the next video!
chris venianakis
Excellent thanks Chris 😎👊🏻
Nice work. It looks awesome!
Oh men that’s beautiful i recently wrap a wing with the same vinyl and love it. Great work
cuervo182
Excellent how did the wing turn out, was it difficult to do my friend?
Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
It’s a lovely thing Glen. I must admit I do like the darker mean look. Maybe the dart shell... then possibly more of the carbon wrap and few white decals???.
Darren Grimmer
Yeah I’m with you on the Dart shell, I’m really surprised by how many guys don’t like it 🤷🏼♂️
TAMIYA Legends it gives it an old school look... I’m 49😂😂😂
Stunning Glenn, black shell would be bad ass with grey decals, would match the grey shocks and rims nicely :D
Chris Lee - UK
I’m liking the sound of that Chris 🤩👊🏻
Superb looking Hot Shot Glenn.
Very cool Bud 😎
Of course we're still watching Glenn. How about a nice matt black finish. I like the idea of a large wing on the back. Maybe some subtle silver decals.
Great vid, keep up the good work. 👍
It’s a tough one. I love that red shell but it would look super mean in black with gold decals.
Wade Beaumont
Thanks Wade, no idea what I’m going to do lol 😂
It's looking better every time I see it👍 how about hydro dipping it in carbon wrap with white stickers, it would be a beastly looking buggy👍👍👍👍👍
Wayne Yates
Thanks Wayne 😊👊🏻
Thats one awesome rig!
That is such a lovely build, mate! I would have painted the body and wing in some sort of gun metal grey. That would have been totally wicked along with all the black, and the carbonfiber wrapping
Tore B
Thanks my friend 🤩👊🏻
Stealth!! Go for it!!
Had to laugh about centering the sticker - I'd be the same Glenn 😂👍
Oh and just trimming the shell on the side window lower to reveal the driver would look amazing 👍
Lee Colgate
Now that’s a great idea Lee 🤩👊🏻
Looks sharp without the body, with the narrow black chassis, and no wing. If its mine, I'm leaving the body off, wrapping the chasis in black carbon fiber, and a smaller wing in either red or black. Again, thats if it were mine. Thank you for sharing your project with us!
SneerfulDust
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Whoa! I just noticed the differences compared to my original Hotshot. Love it!
S. Toshi Adair
Excellent thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Hi Glen , Just Picked Up a RE-RE Hotshot NIB, so happy slowly the Tamiya Collection is getting bigger , so love building these kits just awesome and yes the stealth look is just superb , But im a box art Guy for the moment if i get hold of another one will definately be doing it Black stealth , cheers Glen LOve This Video Its probably the fourth or fifth time watching it , just love it , :-)
Great Car Glen, More Black and a little red. yip for the new body. Thanks for another vid. Gauranga.
Matt McLafferty
Excellent it’s looking like I need to order a new shell Matt 🤩👊🏻
Looks awesome 👍 Would love to see full stealth!
Nigel Benton
Excellent thanks Nigel 🤩👊🏻
Looks like the “Fox” driver.. coolest idea.. now you have me wanting to trick out my “Hot Shot” II.. love the duel front setup..,you have to go brushless with this beast.. it’s screaming for a 3800 kv Castle and a 3 cell.. just upgrade the transmission before you do lol.. awesome buddy.. you did a JG Dart body a whilst ago and I think that body was made for this killer..
Maverick74
Yes I love the look of the Dart shell, really tempted to try another one 🤩👊🏻
Wow, seriously nice. I would be tempted to order a repo body and wrap that in carbon.
Ollie_NL
That’s a great idea, just not sure I’ve got the skills to do it 😬🤷🏼♂️
Love the carbon fibre wrap on the roof! I did the same thing on my rere Wild One, and love it! Great work Glenn! 🤙
Poor Boys RC
Thank you 😊😊😊
Absolutely incredible channel sir I just subbed up My first Rc was the Grasshopper in the 80s 👍🏻💯
Omg wow thats a beauty, brill videos you do mate 👌
D Giles m
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Looks great. I finished a hotshot yesterday. I painted it blue. Looks cool with the contrasting red parts. Did a wheelie with it on my carpet and when it landed the front shock fell to bits. I also painted a red stripe down the drivers helmet. Looks so cool but didn’t realise you can’t see it when the roof is on.
Stuntman Rich
Oh dear I hope you got it fixed buddy 😊👊🏻
Matt Black with gun metal stickers. 😎
Gareth Cornell
Thanks Gareth 😊👊🏻
That is awesome!
David Jenkins m
Thanks David 😎👊🏻
Black and gold like the lotus f1 70's style!
healthiswealth
Excellent thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Very cool. I wish my Nissan King Cab wasn't stolen I miss that one. I still have the RC car action featuring it.
Very cool. Looks way stronger than a standard Hotshot and that body looks awesome! 👌👍
RC Hobby Shed
Thanks Mick, yes it looks the biz, but it doesn’t sound like it with that rear gearbox 😂👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Sounds good to me! My miss's is watching a movie so I had the sound off. 🤣
For me I think the red body is awesome! 👍 That is the best Hot Shot ever 🔥🔥, I'd love that if you ever wanted to sell it Glenn 😂
boostaholic 71
Thank you 😊😊😊
That is one gorgeous rc brother!!🤩👊
Harlon David
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
She is an amazing car, I wouldn't want to run her incase I damaged her. I would just leave her as a shelf queen. She's just stunning
paulus842000
Thanks Paul 😎👊🏻
after just talking to you about the Hotshot and seeing this one I am going to go for it
I like the shiny red body if I’m honist looks awesome 👍👍
David Turner
Thanks David, yeah I know what you mean, maybe I’ll just do another shelf for show and run it with the Red shell 🤔
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Yes Glenn I would do the body black with gold decals mate
coz
Yeah Black and Gold works really well 😎👊🏻
Sweet Hotshot!! About the carbon fiber wrap, I did the same thing to the roof of my Gen 8 crawler! If you could wrap the wing and the body!
The Houleigan
That’s what I want to do, but I’m not sure it’ll look that good with all the joins I’ll have to do 😬🤷🏼♂️
@@TAMIYALegends I was going to wrap a hard body F150 but after doing a couple panels it doesn't looks as good as I thought.
Translucent Black backed by bright silver body would really make it stealthily shiny.
Rcaddict 1
Excellent thanks for the feedback buddy 😊👊🏻
15.01: Best looking buggy I’ve ever seen..and without the body shell 🤩😍
G'day Glenn love your bling Hot shot how did you find all that good stuff to put on it. I haven't seen the end result hope you went Stealthy. Might get my hot shot out and have tinker inspired again thanks mate your a legend 👍😃👍
I had shock limiting cables on my old baja 5b that worked a treat. Pretty easy to make with some picture wire with some heat shrink over them and a couple of loop connectors on each end 👍🏻
The Paradox
Oh wow that’s an interesting method 🤔👊🏻
Thanks for watching
@@TAMIYALegends liked your spacer fix though 👌🏻
It looks good as is, black would look good!
Michael Dack
Thanks Michael 😊👊🏻
I reckon it would look fantastic with a carbon body shell & rear win, although I love the red as it is, 😀😀😀
bluesimon13ify
I’d love to do that but unfortunately I don’t have the skills to do it unfortunately 😞
I agree, hydro dip a carbon fibre transfer. Would be an innovation for the Chanel as haven't seen anyone else do it on RC bodies.
Black and gold it will look great 😎
wow, sick man. Black body and white and gold stickers
I sub`d
It looks excellent just the way it is, but the Hotshot 2 & The Supershot bodies are a little wider with larger wings. I remember seeing on eBay, those Hotshot alloy arms but wasn’t interested at the time. After this Video, now I want a set...Glenn, stop showing me all this good stuff (just kidding) keep it coming 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎
Rcalltypes m
Excellent thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
Looks mint , funny a vid pops up on this as me a my girlfriend finished building my super hotshot re re.
I have had it since my first boy was born over four years ago and just never got around to completing.
Hudnut197
Excellent well thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
Looks awesome,nice job. Is it gone be running brushless.
Nathan Burnett
Not really sure on the running gear yet 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Possibly the Tamiya 10.5 motor 🤔
Turned out Nice 😎
RC Action Australia
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
It does look nice with the carbon on the roof,😀😀😀
bluesimon13ify
Thanks buddy 🤩👊🏻
This is where you need sketches! What about a completely new and bespoke body? Something I've been thinking about for a little while!
A Black body and wing would be freaking badass man, hey why not be different.
SHAYEN 2320
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Defo black body and a carbon- fiber wing! Still it's looking wicked!
Earl Tai Sen Choy
Thank you 😊👊🏻
If you do go darker
Still need elements of the red on there for definite 😁
dmfman123
Yeah that’s a good point, thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
That is a good looking car.
Thanks for watching buddy 🤩👊🏻
Glenn, this is the best looking buggy I have seen, to me its better looking than topforce`s and Avante`s. Do not know about handling but look wise this can not be beaten from any brand. Would love to get one looking the same.
gary murphy
Wow excellent Gary, it’s definitely a looker my friend 😍👊🏻
If you take a small brush and paint black all around the driver (gloves, arms, back) it will look much more realistic and clean. Just let the brush slide exactly in the middle of the transition from the horizontal platform to the vertical driver. If the driver gets painted black up to 1mm above the platform, that is totally fine and will give it a realistic 3-D look.
19Marc79
Excellent thanks for the feedback my friend 😊👊🏻
The red looks great. But a bigger wing and maybe doing the bars in back in aluminum to match the front bar would balance it out nicely. The stealth idea is fantastic but that buggy has Soo much going on it would be a shame to make it harder to see all the details. Unless you two toned it with the frame bits dark silver and the body bits in a flat black.... Sounds fun no matter what! Happy r c ing!!!
Peter Renaud
Great feedback Peter thank you 😎👊🏻
As much as I love the chrome red. Yeah black, Hot Shot body would do it! Maybe even matte black???
Thanks again and take care me ole mucker!
Paul Garwood
Oh matt Black 🤔. Now that’s a great shout Paul 🤩👊🏻
Yes, matte black with minimal gold decals would look awesome
Awesome looking buggy...and yes black body looks maener
More badass
A Stolk
Awesome thanks for the feedback my friend 🤩👊🏻
Hey I like what you are doing. I would go for a stealthier look, if you use a self etching primer on outside of polycarbonate body you can spray a really dull or rubberised finish. I would trim as much as you can and have just the minimum of body, and then do to the rear wing what you did to the roof.
Also saw on Tamiya Club someone has made an F1 Lotus style shell for a dark impact. Black with gold decals, looks really good

James Thomson
Wow that’s a lovely looking thing 😊😊😊
TAMIYA Legends yep, way above my skill level!
It looks like the baby from a Hot Shot and a Buggy Champ :D
Roger Skagerström
😂 love it
Glenn, Perhaps you can use lacing cord (thin flat black string that is used on aircraft wire bundles) to secure the roof and the netting too if you want. This way you dont have tie wraps sticking out, like they do.. i can send you a bunch as i have a few rolls from years of working on private jets.
Gene
Thanks buddy I’ll have a think about that once I’ve finally decided how I want it to look 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Need an update on this gorgeous machine 😍
Yes, black body and wing!!
Chris Wong
Thanks Chris 😊👊🏻
You have just created the sexiest Hotshot. Yet as you said it could get sexier. I'm personally not much of a fan of black buggies apart from wheels as some black wheels can "pop" a color scheme. A gold body would be nice to see.
Gr8 work on the driver, looks 100% better.
Honestly whatever color scheme you go for will be good to see.
Can't wait for the rear end issue vid be very interesting to see what the problem/ damage is & seriously hope it's nothing major. My Boomerang rear end had a similar noise but was just dirty grease from too many puddles & dirty water getting in. The down side of H2o proof esc & brushless 🤣🤣
Matt Hutch
Cheers Matt 😊👊🏻
Black body would work well with those wheels.
The metallic red is too cheery/happy looking 😆
Hello glenn great video. car looks amazing quick question can you recommend a good servo as iam using a etronix only bin using it for a few months and it now won't centre thanks take care stay safe mate
coz
Hey 👋
Unfortunately I just use whatever’s lying around here, I’ve never really looked into buying a good quality steering servo 🤷🏼♂️. Maybe I should 🤔. Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Not a fan of black but that’s just me. Wondering if a Astute wing would look good or Top Force!
Great looking, making me think about getting one of those chassis.
Michael Piwonka
Excellent Michael thanks for the feedback my friend 😎👊🏻
Can you not get the shell dipped in gloss carbon fibre, would look great imo..great hotshot Glen.
Flibbertigibbet
Oh I’ve no idea, I didn’t even know that existed 🤔👊🏻
Thanks buddy
The rear end look better with the spacers, 😀😀😀
bluesimon13ify
Thanks buddy 😊😊😊
No new rear wing decal in the end?
Absolutely no to a new wing and body. That red is super delicious 👌 But it's your car 😉
al1stare
No because I was thinking to do another shell I didn’t change it 😬
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends gotcha
You could use the pen spring mod that the crawler boys use and mount a section of pen spring below the piston of the shock,to limit the droop.
Just come across your channel - good to find a UK RC channel but saddened you don’t have a review of The Hornet - one of the original RC cars!
I think it does!!!:)
James Cunliffe
Thanks 😊😊😊
Definitely go with a black body and wing.
KingBollock
Excellent thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Very trick!
Yeah looks good very good! No don't change the body and wing it looks perfect the way it is now👍 (jury's out on the bar on the front shocks though? Just my honest opinion )
Phil Moffett
No worries Phil I appreciate your feedback my friend 😎👊🏻
Phil Moffett
No worries Phil I appreciate your feedback my friend 😎👊🏻
Go stealth, will look awesome !!!!!!
Jasper Greenwood
Thanks Jasper 😊👊🏻
Hey I think a gun metal grey would go best with th carbon roof and the black chassis.
Wow all the goodies on this car!!
