Iconic hotshot in my hand 6 years 2 weeks ago #48824

Since some hours, I am the happy owner of an 80's icon. The hotshot.

It is a very good resto base.
Like all very used rc it needs some care.
I will order some spares but my first question is,
Can I put a esc in place of the missing msc?
This one for example?
For the radio, it will be a techniplus mk IV.
Thanks for your advices

Hi Stingray, I managed to fit an ESC in my Hotshot and I’m talking back in 1985 when it was released.
I do remember that I had to put the receiver in the space where the driver should have been.

I’ve still got that car and now you’ve made me want to get it down and restore it !?!?

Nice find, Flo!
The resto looks like a challenge but I'm sure you can do it.
