Few kits carry the same nostalgic appeal as the Super Hotshot. The reissued Super Hotshot 2012 keeps the original spirit while adapting to modern hobby standards, making it a rewarding build for collectors and active RC drivers alike.
The familiar polycarbonate body and rear wing keep the vintage silhouette, while the chassis benefits from a durable shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain. A full complement of ball bearings cuts drivetrain drag and improves long-term durability on varied surfaces.
Four oil-filled dampers work with the double wishbone layout to tame bumps and ruts. The suspension setup delivers predictable handling whether you are cruising a backyard course or practising on compact dirt tracks.
The kit is supplied to run with the Tamiya GT-Tuned Motor (25T), pairing well with a matched electronic speed controller for smooth throttle response. That combination offers a practical balance of torque and top speed for trail and off-road use.
The Super Hotshot 2012 offers a mix of period-correct looks and usable mechanics, making it a great project for builders who want a classic feel with straightforward maintenance and upgrade paths.
