Relive the Glory Days with the Tamiya Comical Hotshot
The Tamiya 58685-60A, better known as the Comical Hotshot, is a delightful nod to the original 1985 Hotshot, yet it brings its own flair to the table with a whimsical design and robust performance. This 1/10 scale R/C buggy captures the imagination of hobbyists, marrying nostalgia with modern engineering. With its playful polycarbonate body, pre-painted in a striking PS-2 Red, this kit provides a perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality, ready to hit the track once you add your stickers.
GF-01CB Chassis: Where Stability Meets Performance
At the heart of the Comical Hotshot is the GF-01CB chassis, a gear-driven 4WD powerhouse. Engineered around a rugged monocoque frame, this chassis ensures stability and control. The centrally-mounted motor keeps the balance in check, while sealed gearboxes shield the internals from dust and debris. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, coupled with CVA oil dampers, delivers smooth handling and exceptional cushioning during high-speed maneuvers.
Design and Features That Spark Joy
The Comical Hotshot isn't just about performance; it's equally about style. The pre-painted polycarbonate body is complemented by a stylish bumper, muffler parts, and dedicated side guards. With light pods ready for separately sold 5mm LEDs, you can illuminate your buggy for those thrilling night drives. The combination of red and white spoke wheels paired with ST block bubble tires ensures excellent traction across varied terrains.
