    Tamiya RC Hotshot 58391

    Relive the glory days of RC racing with the Tamiya Hotshot re-issue, a 1/10 scale 4WD buggy that brings back the original 1985 design with a few modern twists. Originally Tamiya’s first 4WD off-road buggy, the Hotshot made waves with its innovative chassis and aggressive styling. This re-issue preserves the spirit of the classic model, featuring the iconic 3-piece monocoque chassis, shaft-driven 4WD, and double wishbone suspension, but with updated parts for a smoother and more reliable experience. Perfect for collectors and RC enthusiasts alike, the Hotshot re-issue lets you enjoy the iconic design and thrilling performance of an RC legend.

    Modern Oil Dampers: Features diaphragm-type oil dampers for enhanced suspension performance, while retaining the classic front and rear mono-shock setup.
