The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with oil dampers provides smooth handling and control, whether you're hitting the track or tackling off-road terrain. The included 540-type brushed motor delivers ample power, and the kit is compatible with standard 2-channel radio systems for easy setup.

This special edition Hotshot arrives with a factory-painted and pre-cut body, so you can skip the messy and time-consuming steps of painting and trimming. Simply apply the included decals and focus on the exciting build process. This convenient feature allows you to get your Hotshot up and running faster, so you can spend more time on the track and less time in the workshop.
The Hotshot II features stylish matte plated wheels paired with high-performance semi-pneumatic tyres that provide excellent grip and stability on a variety of surfaces. This combination ensures your car not only looks the part but also handles with precision and confidence.
Adding to the realism and ruggedness, the Blockhead Motors edition Hotshot II features a metal roof with an integrated air intake. Protective guard plates are also installed around the cockpit, enhancing the scale detail and providing a touch of off-road toughness.
The Blockhead Motors edition Hotshot II features a driver figure positioned slightly higher in the cockpit for a more realistic appearance. A detailed roll cage surrounds the driver, complete with window netting, enhancing the scale realism and adding a touch of off-road authenticity.
