Tamiya Hotshot Restoration

[@wildcat650power]

That was a good cleaning, fix and rebuild. Now it requires a restoration with upgrades 👍

[@Bormac073]

It's always great seeing an old gem brought back. Liked and Subscribed.

[@surrealrc3769]

thanks very much

[@BigDuke6ixx]

0:20 and Jesus wept, about the soldering...

[@andyives3447]

Well I liked it, No endless waffling just a reasonable runner restoration. Good job :D

[@surrealrc3769]

Yes! Thank you!

[@homeworkpictureshq]

Nice restoration... I like it..

[@drm2566]

I enjoyed dismantling and rebuilding my car when I was a kid

[@surrealrc3769]

Those were the days!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Nice resto 👍🏻😎🇦🇺. Would of been mint with a set of Bearings and new Rims.

[@surrealrc3769]

yea should have gone the extra mile

[@rickahrens5994]

That was so fun for you. Just starting mine.👊❤

[@surrealrc3769]

Thats Epic!

[@samuelmartin2213]

Where did you get the new parts from? I’m having a hard time finding the parts

[@surrealrc3769]

[@cowboywiki1743]

Nice

[@SeriesIII]

So my original 1985 might be worth something? I need a new front shock and a resistor

[@surrealrc3769]

yes it is and it would be good to fix iit up

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

I'm going to take a guess that whoever did this, didn't know bearing kits and spare parts were available

[@surrealrc3769]

Yeah didn't know at the time.

[@monolinkster]

Wheres the running video?

[@surrealrc3769]

we never ran it just sold as rtr

[@Freddie44utube]

You should resist using normal mineral oil with plastic it has an effect over time you really should use silicone oils and greases lovely job otherwise

[@surrealrc3769]

okay thanks for the heads up, and thanks was a long restoration

[@goldenmanuever1176]

plastic bushings and NO grease? ugh.

[@surrealrc3769]

yhea next time

[@legoproductions7286]

guys guys..stop picking on him, he restores it to whatever state he chooses too, nice rebuild mate!

[@JeffersonHumber]

Please get a Philips screwdriver

[@surrealrc3769]

I got one thanks

[@marco6517]

The tires are a horrible job. But okay, the rest is okay.

[@surrealrc3769]

Thanks

[@RedLP5000S]

Isn't there a re-re now? Kinda pointless.

[@surrealrc3769]

It's more about the fun in restoring, people restore 1970 porches, even though they sell 2019 models

[@legoproductions7286]

no its not, a 1985 car if in great condition is worth more than a re-re..

[@jdub8]

Terrible job. Worst part of it is u made a video of it. Just being real.

[@legoproductions7286]

J Dubb..shut ya cake hole!!!!

[@jdub8]
