Features
Wedge Shape Body
The body's distinctive wedge shape, a careful recreation of the iconic Hot Shot design, gives the buggy a classic and aggressive look. A dummy antenna can be attached to the right side for added nostalgic goodness
A Touch of Colour
The bright red front suspension uprights provide a striking contrast to the all-black body, adding a vibrant accent and a touch of racing flair
Horizontal Shocks
The front suspension is designed for peak off road performance, featuring a mono shock setup with a horizontally mounted CVA oil filled shock absorber and stabiliser bar for precise handling and reduced body roll
Scale Details
The Hotshot boasts realistic details, such as the metal roof with air intake and an included driver figure, improve the overall build experience and create a incredible scale vehicle
