Classic lines and practical upgrades in the Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A

The Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A brings back a much-loved silhouette with mechanical updates that make it usable on modern tracks. This kit suits builders who like to tune handling and power to their own preference.

Proven chassis layout with dependable handling

The shaft-driven 4WD arrangement retains the original handling character while providing good traction. The 1/10 chassis employs a 4-wheel double wishbone setup with oil-filled dampers to tame bumps and jumps.

Robust underbody and grip-focused tyres

An under-guard protects the chassis during aggressive off-road running. Spiked tyres on gold-style wheels deliver traction on loose dirt while the polycarbonate body and rear wing maintain aerodynamic balance.

Motor supplied, ESC user-selected

This kit includes the Tamiya GT-Tuned Motor (25T) for reliable acceleration. Since the ESC is not included, owners can choose an electronic speed controller tailored to their batteries and driving style.

The Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A is ideal for hobbyists who appreciate a retro look and want the option to select modern electronics and tyres to suit their local surfaces.

Yes, the spiked tyres and 4WD drivetrain provide good traction on loose surfaces, and the suspension helps absorb rough landings common on dirt circuits.
Basic modelling tools like hobby knives, screwdrivers, pliers and thread-lock where appropriate will handle most of the build. A small parts tray and patience go a long way.
Tamiya parts and common upgrade items are widely available. Bearings, shocks and drivetrain components are typical items to keep on hand for maintenance or upgrades.
Converting to brushless requires matching motor and ESC mounting, plus appropriate gearing. It is possible but needs careful planning to ensure fitment and cooling.
