[Product Description]
Product Introduction
Equipped with shaft-driven 4WD, adjustable mono-shock dampers, and double wishbone suspension at the front and rear, the main mechanics remain unchanged. The front and rear drive shafts and propeller shafts have been replaced with reliable dog-bone types.
Oil dampers are now of the popular diaphragm type. Additionally, since an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) is installed, the aluminum heat sink at the rear is technically unnecessary, but it is included as a dummy part that highlights the rear view of the Hotshot.
The finished chassis is pre-installed with RC mechanics, and it comes with a wheel-trigger type transmitter suitable for car operation, as well as a driving battery and dedicated charger, allowing immediate operation out of the box after charging the battery.
Enjoy comparing its performance with modern 4WD buggies.

Safety Warnings
Operate on safe, wide-open RC circuit tracks or similar areas.
Never operate on roads.
Do not operate near crowds, parks, or small children.
Avoid narrow spaces and indoor areas.
Do not operate near schools, hospitals, or residential areas where it may disturb others.
Do not operate at night or early morning.

As Tamiya's first shaft-driven 4WD racing buggy, the Hotshot was introduced in 1985. Its low-center-of-gravity design, aggressive form, and innovative mechanics quickly gained many fans. The restored version of the Hotshot (2007) maintains the original chassis and form as much as possible under the design concept of minimal modifications, allowing you to easily challenge its performance again.
The ESC is specified as TBLE04S.
No assembly required.
