Retro style meets practical performance in the Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A

If you love classic RC designs with contemporary usability, the Tamiya Super Hotshot 58517-60A is a standout. Built from the lineage of the 1986 Super Shot, this kit merges nostalgic lines with sensible updates so hobbyists can enjoy both display and track duty.

Classic architecture with modern reliability

The Super Hotshot preserves the original shaft-driven 4WD configuration for predictable handling and added traction. Its 1/10 scale chassis uses a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers to absorb rough surfaces while keeping the car planted.

Durable build and traction-focused setup

Key practical touches include an under-guard to shield the chassis during rough runs, spiked tires on gold-plated wheels for improved bite, and a polycarbonate body with rear wing that balances look and aero efficiency.

Motor and electronics notes

This kit is supplied with the Tamiya GT-Tuned Motor (25T) for dependable pace. The ESC is not included, giving builders the freedom to select an electronic speed controller that matches their battery and driving preference.
