History
The Tamiya Hotshot should need no introduction – it is one of the most formidable and complex R/C buggy designs of the 1980s, and was a huge hit when it was released – being one of the first ever 1/10 scale R/C electric 4WD buggy kits. Featuring four wheel independent suspension, and a rugged design with plenty of exposed suspension linkage, the Hotshot was beyond the reached of the average kid in the 1980s. It remains one of the most iconic creations in R/C history.
