Tamiya Hotshot II Blockhead Motors
About this product
The Tamiya Hotshot II Blockhead Motors is a 1/10 scale 4WD buggy kit. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.
Finished, it measures 390mm long. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.
Tamiya supply an electronic speed controller in the box.
