Tamiya 58391 - 1/10 Hotshot Re-release Off-Road Buggy Kit  [58391]

Classic Hotshot Reissue for Modern Off-Roaders

The Tamiya Hotshot 58391 returns as a faithful reissue that honours the original 1980s design while adding practical upgrades. This re-release brings vintage silhouette and contemporary engineering together to appeal to both long-time collectors and newcomers wanting a nostalgic off-road buggy.

Heritage Styling Meets Revised Chassis

The 58391 preserves the iconic 1/10 buggy profile yet benefits from a reworked chassis layout. It uses a 4-wheel double wishbone arrangement together with front and rear mono-shocks to improve cornering and stability. Diaphragm-type oil dampers smooth out rough tracks so the Hotshot feels confident on mixed surfaces.

Drive Components and Thermal Management

This kit includes a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller for immediate use after assembly. The updated propeller shaft with dog bone linkages helps deliver power evenly, and the aluminium heat sink assists motor cooling under demanding running conditions.

Personalise and Upgrade Your Buggy

There is a wide selection of option parts available for the Hotshot, allowing cosmetic tweaks and performance upgrades. Whether aiming for track competitiveness or a show-quality build, the Hotshot's platform supports many common modifications.

The Tamiya Hotshot 58391 blends period charm with useful modern touches, making it a solid pick for hobbyists who want a buildable, tuneable off-road classic.
