Playful Retro Buggy with Solid Underpinnings

The Tamiya 58685-60A Comical Hotshot revives a playful retro design in a 1/10 scale assembly kit. The pre-painted polycarbonate body in PS-2 Red and included trim bits give the car character while keeping the build approachable for hobbyists.

Chassis Dynamics of the GF-01CB

This model uses the GF-01CB gear-driven 4WD chassis which centres the motor for balanced handling and fits sealed gearboxes to reduce wear from dust. The double wishbone layout combined with CVA oil dampers helps the buggy absorb rough bumps and maintain control at speed.

Trim, Lighting Prep and Wheel Choice

Detail options include a dedicated bumper, muffler-style parts and side guards that enhance the period look. Light pods accept aftermarket 5mm LEDs, and the red and white spoke wheels with ST block bubble tyres provide dependable grip on grass, dirt and track surfaces.

Basic modelling tools like hobby nippers, screwdrivers, and a small wrench set are sufficient; a paint pen can help touch up details if desired.
Yes, many WR-02 and GF-01 hop-up parts will fit, allowing you to upgrade durability and handling progressively.
The ST block bubble tyres are better suited to packed surfaces; for loose sand you may want wider, paddle-style tyres to improve flotation.
Yes, installing 5mm LEDs in the light pods will provide basic illumination for casual evening runs, but consider secure wiring and weather protection for reliable performance.
