Tamiya 57785 Hotshot 1/10 Retro RTR Buggy  [57785]

Tamiya Hotshot 1/10 Overview

Classic Looks, Practical Layout

If you remember the original mid-80s Hotshot, the Tamiya 57785 1/10 RC RTR Hotshot Buggy brings that era back with period-correct styling and user-friendly assembly. This release keeps the vintage silhouette while fitting modern convenience for weekend track sessions and casual bashing.

Construction and Materials

The model uses a pre-painted polycarbonate shell finished with period graphics and a sturdy ABS resin bathtub frame that arrives pre-assembled. The shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain sits on a reliable platform, and the 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with oil dampers delivers consistent control over uneven surfaces.

On-Track Performance

Standard Hotshot tyres on white wheels give predictable traction for off-road runs, and the RS-540SH motor supplies the grunt needed for spirited driving. The kit is supplied as a full RTR with a 2-channel transmitter, TSU-01 servo, TRU-02 receiver, and TEU-101BK ESC, so you only need a 7.2V battery and a compatible charger to get running.

The Tamiya 57785 Hotshot suits collectors and club drivers who want a straightforward, authentic-feeling buggy with classic appeal and modern usability.
