Tamiya is thrilled to announce the re-release of the Hotshot II, a 4WD buggy that first made waves back in 1987. This revamp brings a fresh take on a classic, following the lineage of Tamiya's groundbreaking 4WD buggies: the original Hotshot of 1985 and the Supershot of 1986. The Hotshot II, known for its lightweight design thanks to the use of plastic parts, is ready to hit the tracks once again and comes with a pre-painted black body shell. So, gear up for some high-speed fun with this updated classic!
