This R/C model assembly kit is a re-released and updated version of the 4WD buggy Hotshot II, the original of which was first released in 1987. The sleek, smart body and rear wing are polycarbonate and pre-painted black, as well as being pre-cut. Stickers are included to apply racy orange and yellow markings.

Durable 4WD Buggy Chassis

The Hotshot II has a shaft-driven 4WD chassis with sealed gearboxes front and rear to keep out dirt and sand; each has a differential inside for smooth cornering, while the underside of the model is protected by the underguard. Its 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs three CVA oil dampers - one at the front and two at the rear, with a front stabiliser helping to get the most out of the 4-wheel drive. White dish design wheels are paired with semi-pneumatic oval block tyres for exemplary grip on tough off-road surfaces.
