Tamiya 58737 1/10 HotShot II 2024 RC Kit

This R/C model assembly kit is a re-released and updated version of the 4WD buggy Hotshot II, the original of which was first released in 1987. The sleek, smart body and rear wing are polycarbonate and pre-painted black, as well as being pre-cut. Stickers are included to apply racy orange and yellow markings.

Durable 4WD Buggy Chassis
The Hotshot II has a shaft-driven 4WD chassis with sealed gearboxes front and rear to keep out dirt and sand; each has a differential inside for smooth cornering, while the underside of the model is protected by the underguard. Its 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs three CVA oil dampers - one at the front and two at the rear, with a front stabilizer helping to get the most out of the 4-wheel drive. White dish design wheels are paired with semi-pneumatic oval block tires for exemplary grip on tough off-road surfaces.

Key Features:

• The shaft-driven 4WD gives speed and stability off road, and through corners.
• The 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs CVA oil dampers (II) (one for front and two for rear) with a front stabilizer to help get the most out of the 4-wheel drive system.
• The body and rear wing are lightweight polycarbonate (0.7mm thick) and use a color scheme featuring orange lines on a black base. The polycarbonate body is pre-cut and pre-painted in black.
• Gearboxes are sealed to keep out dirt and sand and contain differentials for smooth cornering.
• Sections such as ABS monocoque frame and suspension arms feature reinforced plastic for high durability.
• Semi-pneumatic oval block / pin spike hybrid tires are paired with large-diameter one-piece nylon wheel.
• Includes updated stickers.

The Hotshot II wedge body design is a classic!

Red front upright parts really catch the eye.

The front monoshock suspension uses a single CVA oil damper, which artfully keeps chassis roll in check.

The metal roof has an integrated air intake, while a driver figure is included to use in the cockpit.

The rear uses H-shaped arms top and bottom. Dog bone drive shafts are a reliable design.
