The Tamiya Hotshot 58391 reissue revives a standout 1980s model, updated where it counts to suit modern hobbyists. It keeps the spirit of the original Hotshot while adding useful refinements for everyday running and tuning.
The model retains its signature 1/10 scale buggy look and benefits from a redesigned chassis that uses 4-wheel double wishbones and front and rear mono-shocks. Diaphragm-type oil dampers help the car stay composed over bumpy circuits.
Supplied with a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller, the Hotshot 58391 is set up for strong basic performance. The redesign of the propeller shaft featuring dog bone linkages improves drivetrain reliability, and the aluminium heat sink supports motor cooling under load.
There are numerous option parts available to refine handling or appearance. Whether you favour subtle performance tuning or a striking visual build, the Hotshot platform accepts a wide range of aftermarket parts.
The Tamiya Hotshot 58391 strikes a good balance between period appeal and practical upgrades, making it a versatile choice for collectors and active racers alike.
