Retro Character with Practical Build Notes

The Tamiya 58685-60A, dubbed the Comical Hotshot, blends vintage silhouette with straightforward assembly. This 1/10 scale kit arrives with a PS-2 Red pre-painted polycarbonate shell and tidy trim parts so builders can focus on setup and driving rather than complex painting.

GF-01CB Platform and Drive Layout

The GF-01CB chassis is designed for dependable 4WD performance, using a gear-driven transmission and a central motor arrangement to keep weight balanced. Sealed gearboxes help limit maintenance, and the double wishbone suspension teamed with CVA oil dampers smooths out bumps on park tracks and backyard runs.

Exterior Trim, Wheels and Lighting Options

Exterior details include a molded bumper, faux muffler parts and side guards that lift the period feel. The kit accepts 5mm LEDs in the provided light pods for night running, and the white-and-red spoke wheels fitted with ST block bubble tyres deliver traction across a range of surfaces.

Whether assembling for display or for casual off-road use, the Tamiya 58685-60A offers an accessible build and a distinctive finished look that appeals to modders and classic R/C fans.

Assembly time varies by experience, but a focused afternoon or a couple of evenings is common for hobbyists following the instructions carefully.
Yes, with attention to motor mount and pinion spacing you can install compact brushless setups, though the kit is optimised for a 540-brushed motor out of the box.
The kit ships with ST block bubble tyres mounted on red and white spoke wheels. They perform well on dirt, packed clay and gravel, offering a good compromise for mixed-surface driving.
