A Classic Hot Shot Updated for Contemporary RC Play

Evoking the original 1985 Hot Shot, the Comical Hot Shot 58685 blends nostalgic styling with present-day RC components. The 1/10 kit includes a pre-painted polycarbonate body and sticker set so you can assemble and display a faithful classic quickly.

GF-01CB Chassis Focused on Durable Performance

The GF-01CB gear-driven 4WD chassis is engineered for steady, predictable behaviour across a variety of surfaces. Central motor placement and sealed gearboxes reduce maintenance, while the independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers provide controlled responses to rough patches and jumps.

Distinctive Moves and Practical Stability

The Comical Hot Shot is capable of entertaining wheelies, with a rear wheelie bar to keep the car from over-rotating during dramatic pulls. Its two-piece wheels with red and white spokes are fitted with ST block bubble tyres to give useful traction on both tarmac and light off-road tracks.
