Cool!

What chassis is that?

The HotShot was my very first hobby grade RC. I beat the daylights out of it until it was just a box of parts.

I relived my youth and picked up a brand new unbuilt kit a few years ago. I then followed it up with the re-release kit which I built.

I havent a clue what the chassis is made of but its a mixture of a fiber glass and plastic and weights nothing its great , i love the look and just about about everything , other than i dont have a shell or rear wing but i dont think it really need one
