The Tamiya Hotshot 58391 makes a welcome comeback, pairing its retro look with improvements that suit modern RC use. This reissue nods to the original while adding practical changes to improve drivability and longevity on the track.
Maintaining the classic 1/10 scale silhouette, the 58391 adds a refined 4-wheel double wishbone layout and mono-shock units front and rear. Diaphragm-style oil dampers tame rough sections so the chassis keeps a predictable attitude through corners.
The kit ships with a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller to get you running after build. A new prop shaft with dog bone connectors improves drivetrain efficiency, while the aluminium heat sink helps manage motor temperature during extended sessions.
Owners can fit a variety of option parts to alter handling or aesthetics. From wheels and tyres to performance items, the Hotshot platform is friendly to common upgrades and visual customisation.
The Hotshot 58391 offers a pleasant mix of nostalgic styling and practical engineering, ideal for model builders who enjoy tuning and weekend off-road sessions.
