TAMIYA Electric RC Car Series Hotshot II BLOCKHEAD MOTORS 58710 1/10 No.710 1/10RC

[A brightly colored custom buggy packed with attention to detail] Graphic designer JUN WATANABE has customized the Hot Shot II, which first appeared in 1987 as an improved version of the Hot Shot, which was admired as Tamiya's first shaft-drive 4WD racing buggy. The coloring has been completely changed from the original version, which was mainly black with yellow and orange stripes. A new design with brilliant blue and white stripes. Moreover, the polycarbonate body and rear wing are painted brilliant blue and have been cut. The original shape of the driver doll's seating position was revised to be too low, and the upper deck and roll cage were replaced with new parts, making it the same position that a human would sit in a real car. In addition, the body guard, rear guard, and side plates are designed by JUN. The chassis is a shaft drive 4WD that inherits the original Hotshot II. Equipped with differential gears in the front and rear sealed gearboxes to provide smooth maneuverability. The structure of the double wishbone 4-wheel independent suspension, which is equipped with one front and two rear CVA dampers, remains the same, but the damper color has been changed from red to yellow. Plated parts are used on the front and rear wheels and uprights to create a metallic feel. A specially designed sticker is attached to the 540 motor to enhance the custom mood. The tires are hollow rubber low-profile types with excellent grip that are a mix of oval blocks and pin spikes.
