About the Model - Compact-sized and Ready-to-Run 4WD electric R/C off-road buggy. - Featuring the brand new, shaft-driven 4WD GB-03 chassis, the first 4WD chassis in the TamTech- Gear lineup. - 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features a front mono-shock that echoes the actual 1/10 R/C Hotshot design. - 4WD drivetrain equipped with front and rear universal shafts for optimum efficiency. - Front and rear pinion-type differentials effectively transfer power from the motor to the wheels. - Slipper clutch protects gears from the rigors of off-road racing. - High-efficiency 370 size motor provides extended running time of over 30 minutes. - Includes compact ESC, receiver and servo, and 2-channel Expec SP transmitter. - Running battery & charger separately required. - Wide range of Option Parts available to customize the look and performance of your machine.

Mmmmm, can't make my mind up about the Tamtech's. I had one of the originals and was as quick as a bullet. But, unless you're into the smaller stuff, I think you may as well just go for the normal 1:10 scale.

Justy my view, of course!! :clap:

:thumbs_up:

Not too bad.

Quite like the new Tamtech stuff


:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

not bad, is that a 1/18?

Its reminds me of one of my first RC buggys, but mine was Black, AA Powered and cheap,lol :lol:

nearly they are 1/16th this is the first 4wd tamtech should be awesome :thumbs_up:

oh nearly a 1/16 class thx mate :thumbs_up: they do look pretty cool, and with a 370 motor its gonna move well :clap:

do you think they will bring out upgrades for it mate?

Motors and electrics, not parts..

oh yes theres probably some out already from the fox/frog/hornet ones that will fit

class :thumbs_up: Its a dodgy buggy tho when i first saw it i thought hmm it was ok, but the more i look at it the more it grows on me..

i like 1.18 stuff because it caters for for family use in the gardens.
i hope to sort a track in my back garden ready for next summer.
i havent been able to see thi hotshot on any web site as a 1.18 scale , even if i do a search for tamiya tamtech hotshot
