This 1/10 scale 4WD electric buggy captures the spirit of the original Hotshot II, with its iconic design and off-road capabilities. But this version comes with a modern twist, thanks to a fresh livery and updated features designed by Jun Watanabe of Blockhead Motors.

The pre-painted and pre-cut body makes assembly a breeze, while the new roll cage and raised driver position add a touch of realism. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with oil dampers provides smooth handling and control, whether you're hitting the track or tackling off-road terrain.
