Tamiya Hotshot Resto-Mod with a Brushless Motor, Lipo Battery, and Many More Hop-ups! 

Join me as I restore my vintage Tamiya Hotshot. Warts and all!
It's an in depth journey as I combine new parts with old parts while updating the Hotshot for modern times...
It's a resto-mod project as I add a brushless motor, electronic speed control, aerial-less receiver, Lipo battery, aluminium wheel hubs and tire adapters, aluminum battery holder, and various suspension upgrades.
If you want to learn all (and I mean all) about the "guts" of the Hotshot or just want to know how to upgrade the buggy...then this video is for you!
It's not short...but if you enjoy the RC hobby as much as I do, then you may just like the length and detailed restoration of this Iconic Tamiya 4WD Buggy.
Stick to the end for a test on our dirt track..spills and thrills!
