Hotshot II returns with classic styling and modern upgrades

Tamiya has brought the Hotshot II 4WD (58737-60A) back into the hobby scene, preserving the personality of the original 1987 release while adding refinements for current-day use. This reissue keeps the iconic silhouette but incorporates practical updates that appeal to hands-on RC fans.

Engineered for stable off-road driving

The shaft-driven 4WD layout delivers a balance of traction and stability on loose surfaces. Independent double wishbone suspension combined with CVA oil dampers soaks up bumps and keeps wheel contact steady. A front stabilizer improves steering feedback and control through faster sections.

Built light but tough

The pre-painted polycarbonate shell in black with orange highlights preserves the retro look while reducing weight. Key components use reinforced plastics, including an ABS monocoque frame and sturdy suspension arms, designed to handle rough terrain without adding unnecessary mass.

Traction package tuned for mixed surfaces

Semi-pneumatic oval block tyres paired with pin spike inserts provide a hybrid tread that grips dirt, grass and gravel. Large-diameter nylon wheels help maintain momentum and give predictable handling across varying surfaces.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 390mm
  • Width: 235mm
  • Height: 160mm
  • Motor: 540-brushed
  • ESC: Not Included

Whether you collect classic kits or want a tunable off-road buggy, the Tamiya Hotshot II 4WD 58737-60A blends nostalgic design with practical performance, making it a strong choice for hobbyists who enjoy setup and upgrades.

The kit is aimed at hobbyists with basic modelling experience. The manual guides you through parts and assembly, but expect soldering for connectors and some trim work on the body. Patience and a few basic tools will get you running.
You will need a 2-channel radio, steering servo, ESC and suitable battery. The model uses a standard 540-brushed motor, but the electronic speed controller and power pack are not included in the kit.
The hybrid tyres perform reasonably on packed sand, but fine beach sand and salt can accelerate wear. After runs in sandy environments rinse components and avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater to protect bearings and metal parts.
Common first upgrades include higher quality shocks, a stronger servo for improved steering, and aluminium option parts for durability. Many builders also swap tyres to suit specific track surfaces.
