I make video's of vintage RC's from the golden era & in this video I restored a 1987 Tamiya Super Sabre using re-released HotShot parts & show the many differences when compared to the originals.
I include backstory to the Tamiya Hotshot family of buggies which all share the same chassis and gearboxes.
The various Hop-Ups and re-release part numbers are listed throughout the video. Fortunately, Penguin Custom Body Shells make a reproduction body shell and I picked up some decals from eBay but the quality caused me some issues.

Be part of the Thumbs Up Support Squad if you like the video and I hope to see you in the comments.
