I think it is all good and fun to upgrade and tinker with RC.. no doubt about that.. all I was saying is that for a HotShot, I don't see the point of "upgrading" it, as you don't buy a HotShot re-re because you are after the performance. (get a modern 4WD buggy if you want that) So for me, so this is totally based on my personal opinion, is that if I am getting the HotShot, I just want to build and run this Tamiya legend.. to re-live the childhood, etc. All that kind of stuff.. as opposed to worry about how the suspension isn't the best, etc. That's the part that made HotShot unique.. !!
We will remember HotShot because of that funky suspension setup.. for stuff like TRF501.. the all out performance machine.. they get replaced with newer version every year.. they are less memorable.. !

With that said .... if all r/c enthusiasts shared the same thought- that would put the aftermarket companies out of business.
