Next month during the Shizuoka Hobby Show, Tamiya will officially unveil the 1/10 Comical Hotshot GF-01CB. First shown back in 1985, the legendary Hotshot buggy is now back in comical form with a shortened, “toon” body on the GF-01CB 4WD chassis complete with a pre-painted body, Hotshot livery, large rear wing and dual antennas.
The Comical Hotshot comes with a 540 brushed motor and the new TBLE-04S ESC.
The re-imagined comical body comes pre-painted in red and all that is needed is the application of the included stickers, and voila! The GF-01CB chassis in which the body sits on top of is a gear-driven unit that provides a thrilling drive and super wheelies when you jam on the throttle.
