Tamiya Hotshot First Run - An Awesome 1/10 RC 4WD Icon!

Welcome to the first ever run of my new re-release Tamiya Hotshot 4WD 1/10 RC Buggy. This was the first eve 4 wheel drive buggy released by Tamiya, but as you can see in this video the design performs brilliantly even to this day! This Tamiya was a wonderful gift from my friend Peter ‪@cw-01creations46‬ and the colour choice for my Hotshot was made by my good friend Paul ‪@Paul_CoughinCornersRC‬ or "Coughlin Corners RC" Thanks Paul, and thanks for letting me choose the colour for your Hotshot! I hope you enjoy the run as filmed by my very talented son, Alfie, using a GoPro Hero 7 and a Sony AX43 Handycam. Cheers! About the Tamiya Hotshot The Hotshot, released in 1985, is a milestone as the first Tamiya 4 Wheel Drive chassis and the forefather of many similar chassis to come. The front and rear suspension both have single shocks and double wishbone system. The rear damper connects to the wishbones through a relatively complex lever system. The Hotshot chassis evolved during production, and was re-released in 2007 where the chassis has received a lot of smaller changes compared to the vintage ones.
