The Tamiya Super Hotshot is a re-release of a true classic, bringing back the excitement and nostalgia of 1980s RC models. This 1/10 scale kit offers a rewarding building experience and delivers thrilling off-road performance that will take you back to the golden era of RC. The Super Hotshot faithfully recreates the look of the original, with its distinctive silver body and rear wing, yellow oil dampers, and spiked tires with gold metal-plated wheels.

The Super Hotshot is built on a capable chassis that's ready to tackle any terrain. The durable ABS monocoque frame, roll cage, and underguard provide exceptional protection, while the full ball bearings minimise friction loss for smooth and efficient operation. The horizontally-mounted motor delivers power to all four wheels via dog-bone type drive shafts, ensuring reliable performance. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension is equipped with oil dampers that offer three adjustable spring tensions to match different track conditions. And with the included GT-Tuned Motor (25T), the Super Hotshot has plenty of power for dynamic off-road driving.

Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast or new to the hobby, the Tamiya Super Hotshot RC Buggy is a fantastic choice for experiencing the thrill of classic off-road racing.
