Tamiya has long been respected in the RC scene, and the return of the Hotshot brings that heritage back into active hobby use. First seen in the 1980s, this 4WD buggy helped define off-road fun, and the updated release keeps the character of the original while adding improvements that suit current builders and drivers.
The 1/10 Hotshot merges retro form with improved function. Its updated chassis includes a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension that sharpens handling on bumpy trails. Unique mono-shock fittings at the front and rear, paired with diaphragm-type oil dampers, help stabilize the car during aggressive runs.
Power moves through a new propeller shaft using dog bone linkages to better translate motor torque to the wheels. The included Type 540 motor works with an aluminium heat sink mounted on the chassis to reduce thermal stress and preserve consistent performance during long sessions.
The Hotshot keeps its distinctive buggy silhouette and large rear wing that recall the original era. Triangular wheel hubs add a period-correct touch, and a range of option parts lets builders tailor handling, durability, and styling to their preferences.
The Tamiya Hotshot 58391-60A bridges retro appeal and practical upgrades. Its solid construction and scope for modifications make it a good pick for collectors who drive and hobbyists who want a tunable off-road platform.
