Maintaining the spirit of its predecessor, the Super Hotshot offers modern RC enthusiasts a blend of vintage charm and contemporary performance.

Classic Design Meets Modern Engineering

The Super Hotshot retains the original's recognizable silhouette, complete with a polycarbonate body and rear wing, while incorporating modern updates to enhance performance. The 1/10 scale buggy is built on a robust chassis featuring a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain, ensuring reliable power distribution across all terrains. The inclusion of a full ball bearing setup reduces friction and enhances overall efficiency.

Sophisticated Suspension and Handling

Equipped with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system complemented by four oil-filled dampers, the Super Hotshot handles rough terrains with ease. This sophisticated suspension setup provides stability and control, making it suitable for both casual driving and competitive racing.

Power and Performance

At the heart of the Super Hotshot is the Tamiya GT-Tuned Motor (25T), delivering a balance of speed and torque ideal for off-road adventures. Coupled with an electronic speed controller, this motor ensures smooth acceleration and responsive handling, allowing drivers to navigate challenging courses with confidence.

The Tamiya Super Hotshot 2012 is a versatile RC buggy that appeals to both nostalgic collectors and performance-focused racers. Its classic design, coupled with modern enhancements, offers a rewarding experience for hobbyists seeking a piece of RC history or those looking to dominate off-road tracks.
