Tamiya 56711 Tamtech-Gear Hotshot 1/10 RTR Buggy  [56711]

Classic Hotshot Styling with GB-03 Practicality

The Tamiya 56711 Tamtech-Gear Hotshot captures the spirit of the original Hotshot while adopting the GB-03 chassis for improved drivability. This Ready-to-Run 1/10 buggy brings a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement to the Tamtech-Gear range, delivering predictable handling for track and club sessions.

Drive Train and Suspension Overview

The GB-03 design uses a shaft drive to send power to all four wheels, enhancing traction across varying surfaces. Double wishbone suspension combined with a front mono-shock yields steady handling characteristics, and universal shafts at both ends keep the drivetrain responsive under acceleration and cornering.

Performance Traits and Upgrade Path

Fitted with a 370 size motor, the Hotshot offers run times exceeding 30 minutes under normal use. The slipper clutch protects the gearbox during hard landings and sudden loads, while pinion-type differentials ensure even power distribution. Hobbyists can choose from many optional parts to tailor performance.

RTR Convenience with Room to Tweak

Included electronics comprise a compact ESC, receiver and servo, plus a 2-channel Expec SP transmitter for instant operation. A 6-cell battery and a charger are required to begin running, and basic hand tools will handle most routine servicing tasks.

The Tamiya 56711 Tamtech-Gear Hotshot is a compact, serviceable RTR buggy that appeals to hobbyists who like to tune and upgrade a solid base model.
