Limited Tamiya 18624 Hotshot Junior MS Chassis 1/32 Mini 4WD Kit - Retro Buggy Edition  [18624]

Background of the Hotshot Junior model

The Tamiya Hotshot Jr. joins the PRO Series as a compact tribute to the brand's early buggy lineage. It mixes classic aesthetics with a layout suited to club and casual racing.

Styling inspired by classic buggies

Designed to echo the original 1986 Hotshot, the bodywork and spike tyres recreate that off-road buggy vibe. The styling is faithful to the era and still practical for Mini 4WD tracks.

MS Chassis - design and balance

The MS Chassis is a three-part platform that promotes stability and manageable handling. The fitment for a double shaft motor gives consistent drive behavior, which helps when testing gear ratios and motor choices.

Practical upgrades and mods

Owners often fit higher performance motors, different tyre compounds or altered gearing to refine acceleration and top speed. The MS Chassis makes such swaps quick for iterative tuning sessions.

Build approach and track fit

Snap-fit parts mean the kit goes together quickly without glue, letting builders get on track fast. The Hotshot Jr. is compatible with typical Mini 4WD circuits used in club racing.

For fans of vintage design who still want a tuneable racer, the Hotshot Jr. delivers a compact, flexible platform for Mini 4WD competition and display.
