Cells are a lot bigger than they used to be so maybe there is a little more room?

Lot's of things on it make me think you might be right, it has a real "factory" look to it...



- Different coloured wheels, look too good to be a dye or paint job on existing white wheels.

- Very professional Hotshot/DF-03 hybrid chassis, you can even see the anti-roll bar links coming out beside the shock tower.

Ahh.. but Tamiya said the 2007 HS will have monoshocks.. I reckon it will be fairly faithful to the original a bit like the 2005 Frog..

Nah, it wouldn't be called a re-release if it was this different. It'd just be called a Hotshot 2007 or Hotshot 3. This one looks good, but I suspect it's made up by some enthusiast. If I had to guess, it's probably Grahoo. Haha.

I'm thinking the changes are going to be dogbones.

It seems like they're available at rc-champ :

http://sv09.wadax.ne.jp/~rc-champ-jp...601daf3899dea0

Does anyone has a clue what the difference is between those versions ?

BTW, 14.200 Yen is a great price !

58391 Hot shot kit 14,200 Yen
58391b Hot shot kit + bearings 15,400 Yen
58391f Hot shot 2007 + ESC 22,300 Yen
58391fb Hot shot 2007 +ESC and bearings 23,300 Yen
58391s Hot shot 2007 low spec complete deal 28,400 Yen
58391s2 Hot shot 2007 high spec complete deal 36,800 Yen

Champ is the cheapest by far at the moment. The easiest way to order from them is to email Masa at champ_international@yahoo.co.jp with what you want and your address and he will email back with a price including delivery.

Isn't the strong pound great.

Anything imported into the UK from anywhere outside the EU should incur customs duty and VAT. In reality stuff from the US gets stuck in customs and stuff from Japan or Hong Kong usually avoids customs fees. if it's delivered by the post office.

If you are lucky it will sail through customs, if you are unlucky and it gets stopped you will have to pay duty/vat/duty processing fee. This can be as much as £25-35 for a Hotshot kit depending on the fees charged by whoever delivers the kit in the UK. If it gets delivered by Parcelfarce they will charge you £13.50 for 'processing' your customs charges - not bad for sending you a letter

Mine left Customs in Sydney around 4pm yesterday - I wonder when it will get to Brisbane?

I only got the standard kit - I'm sure I've got more than enough Tamiya size bearings laying around

Just ordered two. One will be a shelf queen next to the Wild One (restored original), Frog and Hornet, the other is going to be a runner just to fool around.
