Nice one, they have re-released the Hotshot and more recently the Supershot so spares should be easy to get.

My collection sor far, collecting gets a bit addictive. Spent a fortune on some rare Hop-Ups aswell
The Dyna Storm & Top Force are re-releases but getting rare already, the M3 is original. Everything is BNIB

The car in the second video is much better on carpet, thats what is designed for! The RC18 is a offroad buggy, so doesn't go too well indoors :)
