The model includes nets in place of side windows and a nice formed sheet metal part for a roof which attaches with cable ties. A couple of hooks on the cage serve as the pivot axis for the rear sway bar. They are almost identical in terms of build, they're almost the same chassis. The Hot Shot has rather cool rear suspension linkages, funky collars for setting the springs and you have the roll cage and netting to assemble which is really cool, but the Boomerang has a better steering setup assembly and twin rear dampers. The Hotshot looks much cooler, but the Boomerang is a better runner out of the box with better dampers/springs and better steering (the Hotshot has bump steer). Take this updated Hotshot out for a spin and compare it to today's R/C buggies to experience how far this hobby has developed!

The Tamiya Hotshot 2007 from our great range of radio controlled buggies, has been awaiting re-release from the nostalgic Tamiya radio control range for some time. The eye-catching Hotshot 4WD radio control buggy, which was originally released in the 1980's and helped popularize the R/C car hobby. The Tamiya Hotshot has a timeless body shape matched with updated improvements to let both old and new R/C car fans enjoy exciting off-road action. So get the re release Boomerang first and get the re release Hotshot at a later stage as the Hotshot should be around for a while. I also said that i would choose the Boomerang over the Hotshot so i'm not entirely sure what point it is you are making aside from pulling my chain Tamiyoman Length: 390 mm, width: 235 mm, height: 150 mm ★Weight: 1,285 g ★Tread: 205 mm (front), 200 mm (rear) ★Tire width/diameter: 31/88 mm (front), 38/88 mm (rear)

It’s safe to say that the guy I met was one of those people who just ‘hoard stuff’ since he had an entire house filled with junk, complimented nicely by an entire front yard filled with junk! I really wasn’t sure if he’d be interested in my guitars (or where he’d put them), but to my surprise he took them and (with a bit of cash thrown in) gave me a fairly old, beaten, but relatively complete Tamiya Hotshot. It features an overhauled color scheme of brilliant blue (body and wing are pre-painted in this color, and pre-cut), with a prominent white stripe. If you want a truly original used example for restoration, just be aware that some people are supplementing their old cars with the cheaper, commonly available re-release parts. Some of these new parts are quite different, thus affecting the originality. The completed front gearbox and suspension module is shown at left. Note the unconnected ball ends for a sway bar which has not yet been attached. The next thing to build and paint is the main chassis tub. This is unusual for several reasons. Firstly, the tub is inverted. In most cases a bathtub chassis is concave and the opening faces up. In this case the tub is convex and faces down. The driver figure is integral to the chassis tub. In the original model, this part had a solid top and no access to the electronics beneath without a significant disassembly. This design persisted through the Supershot, but the Hotshot II added an access cutout (shown at right) which is used for this re-release. This cutout is nice for access but greatly reduces the torsional and bending strength of the middle of the chassis.The Hotshot II debuted in 1987, a follow up to the Hotshot, our wildly popular first-ever shaft driven 4WD buggy.
