Description

The Tamiya Hot Shot 2007 1/10 Scale Electric RC Car revives the legendary shaft-driven 4WD racing buggy that debuted in 1985. Its low center of gravity, distinctive combat-style body design, and innovative mechanical arrangement continue to make this Tamiya revival kit appealing to RC enthusiasts and collectors. The three-part chassis combines front and rear gearboxes with a central monocoque to provide convenient maintenance access.

This electric RC buggy is supplied as a buildable kit that requires assembly and painting before operation. The updated reproduction includes shaft-drive 4WD, an adjustable mono-shock damper, dogbone-type drive shafts, and a speed-control system compatible with an ESC. Recommended for ages 15 and older, it provides an engaging introduction to a classic off-road buggy design using specified RC equipment.
