The Hotshot name is familiar to many RC fans, and this reissue recreates the spirit of the original while adding parts that respond well to modern upgrades. It keeps the classic buggy attitude and makes it accessible for builders who like to modify.
The 1/10 Hotshot pairs its retro profile with a refined undercarriage. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension delivers predictable handling and the mono-shock arrangement with diaphragm oil dampers smooths rough tracks without losing responsiveness.
Driveline efficiency is aided by a new propeller shaft that uses dog bone linkages to reduce losses. The Type 540 motor fits with an aluminium heat sink that helps manage temperatures during sustained running sessions.
The body keeps the tall rear wing and triangular hub look that mark the Hotshot silhouette. There is a wide selection of optional parts available for those wanting to tweak suspension geometry, gearing, or styling details.
The Tamiya Hotshot 58391-60A is a functional nod to RC history that also serves as a capable project car. Its layout makes it straightforward to service and upgrade for improved performance.
