| 【 The Legend Comes Pre-Assembled 】 With its aggressive-looking body design and low center of gravity, the Hotshot, Tamiya's first shaft-driven 4WD R/C buggy, made waves when it was introduced in 1985. Tamiya is now proud to release the Hotshot as a pre-assembled expert built series models. While keeping its basic design of the original chassis, the Hotshot (2007) is successfully updated to fit modern specifications. Tamiya now brings back this legendry machine to let fans to relive their childhood. |
| 【 Modern Revival 】 Tamiya designers have given the Hotshot a makeover, replacing older, harder to assemble parts with modern equivalents but still keeping true to the spirit of the original Hotshot. While the front/rear double wishbone suspensions and adjustable mono-shock oil dampers remain the same, the drivetrain features modern dog bone type propeller shafts for enhanced reliability. The oil dampers have also been changed to the more modern diaphragm type. Also, with the use of a modern ESC, the original Hotshot's rear aluminum heat sink is no longer necessary. However, the Hotshot would not look the same without it, so our solution was to install a dummy part to remain faithful to the original look. In addition to the pre-assembled chassis, the set includes a wheel-type transmitter, a battery pack, and charger. Take this updated Hotshot out for a spin and compare it to today's R/C buggies to experience how far this hobby has developed! |
