You get a esc & a s##t motor but most probably you would change the motor..all u need is radio gear like most kits do..

Most HK sellers habitually mark items as 15-20% of ACTUAL value (It is one of the many reasons why UK model shops struggle as it SO much cheaper to import items), most of their customers are Australians, Brits and Mainland Europeans where they get raped by customs, the HK shops do this to keep customers coming back, if you dont like this buy from UK (at 50% more), if you think you pay enough taxes already buy from HK  :ashamed:

Super-Hotshot (Supershot Re-Re) which is basically a Hopped Up Hotshot (4 shocks instead of 2, gold wheels and underguard, different body and decals, everything else is the same)  :happy2:

The decals that come with it are OK, but if you want to make it look like the original Supershot you need only add an original Supershot decal set:-

the guy selling the decals is a complete tool  :booty:, but he does have some good stuff now and again  :happy2:

Used to be able to get decent reproduction decals for Supershot (£9) but not available anymore  :sad1: (The repro from bjmodels on Ebay are not worth the vinyl they are printed on)  :signLOL:

If you want Uprated wheels you need 84280 wheels (Original Vanquish Wheels) and 84281 tyres (Original Egress Tyres), you will also need the Hex clamp adaptors 53569
