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.

The manual provides step-by-step guidance; beginners will benefit from working methodically and following torque and alignment notes closely.
Check and re-grease the gearbox and inspect bearings after heavy sessions; a regular monthly check is sensible for active use to avoid premature wear.
Yes. The wheel mounting is conventional and buyers can swap to different tyre compounds or patterns to suit grip and running conditions.
