Tamiya 58517 - 1/10 Super Hotshot 2012 4WD RC Kit Off-Road Favourite  [58517]

Classic Buggy Style with Practical Upgrades

The Super Hotshot 2012 brings back an iconic silhouette while adding practical improvements to make the kit more user friendly. It is built to appeal to hobbyists who enjoy both display builds and active off-road running.

Timeless Bodywork and Strong Drivetrain

The polycarbonate shell and rear wing keep the classic look, and the shaft-driven 4WD setup delivers dependable power transfer. Ball bearings throughout reduce friction and help the drivetrain run cooler under load.

Durable Suspension for Hard Use

Four oil-filled shocks and double wishbone arms provide predictable handling and good control over rough ground. This suspension layout is easy to tune with different spring rates or shock oils to match driving style.

Stock Motor with Upgrade Potential

The included specification around the Tamiya GT-Tuned Motor (25T) gives a usable mix of acceleration and top speed; the platform is friendly to motor swaps and gearing adjustments for more aggressive performance.

With a pleasing balance of retro looks and serviceable mechanics, the Super Hotshot 2012 is a versatile kit for drivers who want a reliable base for upgrades and race-day tweaks.
