Tamiya's Hotshot has been reissued to capture the classic buggy experience while fitting into modern hobby routines. The original 4WD design that influenced off-road models in the 1980s is back with changes that improve serviceability and runability.
The 1/10 Hotshot retains its iconic lines but benefits from updated mechanicals. A 4-wheel double wishbone suspension provides controlled handling and the mono-shock plus diaphragm oil dampers deliver predictable damping across varied surfaces.
The drivetrain uses an improved propeller shaft with dog bone type linkages to transmit power more cleanly to the wheels. The Type 540 motor works alongside an aluminium heat sink that assists in keeping temperatures in check during longer runs.
The bodywork preserves the high rear wing and distinct triangular hubs associated with the Hotshot. Builders can choose from multiple option parts to refine handling, durability, and visual presentation.
The Tamiya Hotshot 58391-60A offers a balance of nostalgic design and practical enhancements. It is well suited to hobbyists who collect classic models and want a solid platform for upgrades and track use.
