Comical Hot Shot Returns with Retro Style and Modern Running Gear

Honouring the 1985 Hot Shot, the Comical Hot Shot 58685 combines vintage charm with updated RC engineering. This 1/10 scale kit gives builders a hands-on restoration of a classic, featuring a bright pre-painted polycarbonate body and decal sheets for customised detailing.

GF-01CB Layout for Balanced Handling

The GF-01CB chassis delivers a gear-driven 4WD setup focused on predictable handling and durability. With the motor mounted centrally and sealed gearboxes to protect internal components, the platform stays reliable across hardpack, grass and mixed terrain. Independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil shocks help tame jumps and rough ground.

Fun-Oriented Performance and Wheelie Control

This Comical Hot Shot is tuned for entertaining moves like wheelies, backed by a rear wheelie bar for stability during stunts. Two-piece wheels with red and white spokes are shod with ST block bubble tyres that balance grip for light off-road trails and smoother surfaces alike.
