Iconic Hotshot Silhouette Refined for Today

The Tamiya 58685-60A, known as the Comical Hotshot, channels the iconic 1980s design into a modern 1/10 scale kit. The pre-painted polycarbonate body is ready to fit and decorate, offering a quick path from box to run with minimal painting required.

Stable 4WD Setup with Central Motor

The GF-01CB chassis is a gear-driven 4WD layout that keeps the motor centrally located for balance and predictable behaviour. Sealed gearboxes help reduce maintenance, while the double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers give steady control over uneven surfaces.

Period Styling, Wheel Fitment and Lights

The kit includes a period-correct bumper, muffler components and side guards to capture the original look. Light pods accept optional 5mm LEDs and the combination of red and white spoke wheels with ST block bubble tyres offers a capable contact patch for mixed-terrain running.

Absolutely. The accurate body shape and tidy trim parts make it a fine candidate for shelf display once assembled and detailed.
Sealed gearboxes lower routine maintenance needs, but periodic inspection and final drive lubrication are recommended if you run in dusty conditions.
Yes, standard 2-channel radios and modern receivers fit easily; just ensure your steering servo and ESC are compatible with the space available in the chassis.
