Heritage styling and usable performance from the Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A

The Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A revives an iconic 1980s layout while adding components that make the car suitable for modern hobbyists. It is well suited to collectors and drivers who enjoy setup work and tuning.

Original layout with practical suspension

The classic shaft-driven 4WD gives reliable drive characteristics, while the 1/10 scale chassis uses 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers for controlled handling across varied surfaces.

Protection and traction for off-road use

Under-guard protection helps guard the chassis from impacts. The kit includes spiked tyres on gold-style wheels for traction, and a polycarbonate body with rear wing for a period-correct appearance and aerodynamic help.

Included motor, choose your ESC

A Tamiya GT-Tuned Motor (25T) is supplied to provide steady performance. The ESC is excluded, giving the builder the option to select a controller that matches batteries and driving preferences.

The Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A blends a nostalgic silhouette with upgrade potential, making it a practical choice for display collectors and active hobbyists alike.

Painting polycarbonate bodies takes practice but is straightforward with recommended paints, mask tape and thin coats. Practice on a spare shell if you are new to lexan painting.
It is equally at home on a shelf or on the track. Careful build and correct electronics selection will keep it competitive, while its vintage looks make it attractive for display.
Intermediate compound spiked tyres offer good compromise across loose and compact sections. Test different patterns to match your usual surface for best results.
Genuine Tamiya spares and common upgrade parts are widely stocked by hobby retailers and online suppliers. Keep a list of typical wear items like shocks and bearings for quick replacement.
