This is a re-issued R/C assembly kit of the Hot Shot. It originally debuted in 1985 as Tamiya's first 4WD off-road buggy.

With its aggressive-looking body design and low center of gravity, the Hotshot was Tamiya's first shaft-driven 4WD R/C buggy. The unique 3-piece chassis featured front/rear mono-shock oil dampers, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension equipped with stabilizers, and front/rear fully-enclosed gearboxes equipped with thrust ball bearings and differential gears. A wide array of Option Parts were produced especially for modifying the Hotshot.

Tamiya designers have given the Hotshot a makeover, replacing older, harder to assemble parts with modern equivalents while keeping true to the spirit of the original. The drivetrain features modern dog bone type propeller shafts, and the oil dampers have been changed to the more modern diaphragm type. A dummy aluminium heat sink part has been installed to remain faithful to the original look.
