Description
Please Note:

A legend lives on! This is the re-release of the legendary Tamiya Hotshot 4WD buggy, which for a lot of hobbyists from this era was their first RC 4WD buggy and helped set the standard for remote control cars from the mid 80s to late 90s. The Tamiya Hotshot 4WD Buggy featured a basic but tough design with a range of optional parts such as ball bearings and 540 sized motors enabling the user to customize and tune their Hotshot 4WD buggy. The Tamiya Hotshot is still to this day renowned as being one of Tamiya's most legendary RC 4WD buggies. Tamiya have kept this re-released version of the Hotshot as close to the original as possible, with the major difference being an updated TEU-101BK electronic speed controller. Enjoy the satisfaction of building and painting your own RC car with Tamiya's easy to follow instructions. The Tamiya Hotshot is a great introduction into the exciting RC hobby.
