Comical Hot Shot Revived for Classic Wheelies and Off-Road Fun

Designed in the spirit of the 1985 Hot Shot, the Comical Hot Shot 58685 revives the iconic profile with up-to-date RC hardware. This 1/10 kit comes with a striking pre-painted polycarbonate shell and decal set for a ready-to-run appearance after assembly.

GF-01CB Platform for Tough Weekend Running

The GF-01CB chassis is a gear-driven 4WD system that offers robust performance and straightforward maintenance. A central motor placement aids balance while sealed gearboxes keep grit out. Independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil-filled shocks give a forgiving ride over rough ground.

Playful Handling and Robust Wheelie Support

Wheelies are part of the appeal on this model, supported by the rear wheelie bar to keep stunts under control. The two-piece wheels with red and white spokes come fitted with ST block bubble tyres that provide a good compromise between on-road speed and off-road traction.
