Hotshot 58391 - Retro DNA, Modern Running Gear

The Tamiya Hotshot 58391 reissue brings back a beloved 1980s design while fitting in running gear that meets contemporary expectations. It captures the original style but includes revisions that make it more usable on present-day tracks.

Classic Body with Improved Suspension Layout

This re-release keeps the 1/10 buggy proportions and pairs them with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and mono-shocks at both ends. Diaphragm oil dampers help absorb bumps so the chassis stays composed across uneven terrain.

Included Motor, ESC and Drivetrain Refinements

The kit comes with a Type 540 motor and electronic speed controller to simplify the build-to-run process. The updated propeller shaft and dog bone linkages refine power transfer, while an aluminium heat sink helps with motor cooling during longer running sessions.

Scope for Upgrades and Visual Tweaks

There is a broad selection of option parts available for appearance and performance. Many owners choose to swap wheels, tyres and add tuning parts to match their local track conditions or personal style.

  • Scale - 1/10
  • Drive - 4WD
  • Suspension - 4-wheel double wishbone with mono-shocks

Blending retro visuals with practical modern upgrades, the Tamiya Hotshot 58391 makes for a satisfying kit that you can race, tune or display.

Popular upgrades include different wheel and tyre combos, stiffer shock springs, and option drivetrain pieces to sharpen handling and durability.
Many builders upgrade to brushless setups and modern batteries for more punch and lighter weight, though you should confirm mount and space requirements before switching components.
Regular cleaning, using dust-resistant bearings where possible, and checking drivetrain lubrication will extend component life when running on dusty tracks.
Inspect screws and suspension bits, clean grit from moving parts, and re-lubricate driveline components to keep the Hotshot performing consistently.
Yes, replacement shells and aftermarket bodies are offered by various suppliers, letting you refresh the look or repair damage after a hard session.
