Question: I just finished putting together a re-release hotshot. Initially I noticed that if I turn one of the rear wheels with my hand, the right front wheel turns but the left front does not. When I ran the car, it ran OK at low speeds but when I gun it the front seems to lock and the car does a left spin. Any suggestions would be appreciated, fantastic site!

Shounds to me like you might have a diff problem?

Try stripping the front gearbox first and check everything over. I've found sometimes the plastic gears can be moulded badly, just in the front gearbox. I even had to use a knife on a new set of gears i bought a few years ago. Some of the teeth were sharp and binding. Not good Tamiya!
