Tamiya 58517 - 1/10 Super Hotshot 2012 4WD RC Kit Heritage Edition  [58517]

Iconic Buggy with Practical Modern Details

The Super Hotshot 2012 brings back a much-loved silhouette and pairs it with proven mechanicals. It is aimed at modellers who want a period look together with components that are straightforward to maintain and tweak.

Authentic Shell with Solid Underpinnings

The polycarbonate body and rear wing retain the classic appearance, while the shaft-driven 4WD system provides consistent power split. Ball bearings across the drivetrain help lower rolling resistance and extend service intervals.

Controlled Ride from a Time-Tested Layout

Double wishbone suspension with four oil-filled dampers produces a stable ride and predictable feedback. The setup is easy to set up for general club running or casual off-road sessions.

Practical Power and Tunability

The kit is compatible with the Tamiya GT-Tuned Motor (25T) for a reliable performance baseline. The platform allows sensible motor, gearing and suspension upgrades for those seeking sharper lap times.

As a blend of nostalgia and functionality, the Super Hotshot 2012 is a sound option for hobbyists who enjoy restoring classic lines and tuning an accessible chassis for better performance.
