The Tamiya Hotshot II Blockhead Motors is a 1/10 scale 4WD electric buggy kit that brings the legendary Hotshot II back to life with a modern twist. Powered by Jun Watanabe's Blockhead Motors design, this kit features a fresh livery and is prepainted and pre-cut with only the decals needed to be applied.

The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension uses transverse oil shock absorbers on the front axle and double shock absorbers on the rear axle. The new roll-bar is positioned higher to ensure a raised pilot position for greater realism, and the upper frame is updated to achieve this. Uprights and wheels are plated in matte metal.
