Tamiya Hot Shot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2015
- This is Model # 58391 Re-release of the original # 58047 by Tamiya (1985).
Back in time, Tamiya's first 4WD Racing Buggy, and it's still just ace.
Footage is from June 2015, Italy.
Finally I've had time & spirit to do some editing on it :-) Hope you'll enjoy ! - Авто та транспорт
When I was a kid around 1985 I used to have a Tamiya brochure with all of the different buggies in it. I used to sit and stare at all of the action shots in amazement. Thanks for taking me back to how I felt at that time.
Thanks for your lovely comment! Glad you remembered :-) ...and yes, these brochures and catalogues...the stuff of what dreams are made of ! best regards
I used to stare in the local hobby shop window at the tamiya cars until my dad got bored! Ten minutes if I was lucky!! Never got one as a kid but a dad to a six year old boy now so can indulge my childhood fantasies and he loves tamiya too!👍👍
I did exactly the same. The magazines and the actual boxes themselves were something to marvel at.
I did the same thing!!!
I remember that catalogue- I used to do the same thing. Great memories!
This car, in my opinion, has the best design ever made it's just perfect!
Hope you could buy one in the meanwhile... :-) ! thx for your comment
Absolutely one of, if not THE finest 1:10 rc model to be produced. Period.
Thanks for your comment, and yes, in my opinion defenitely a unique pioneer...:-) best regards
One of the best RCs of all time.
Superb filming! There were so many shots where the buggy looked lifesize. As far as looks go, the Hotshot will probably always be one of my favorites.
Thank you for your great comment! I'm glad you liked :-) best regards
one of Tamiya's most iconic buggies. brilliant video just like the original Tamiya promotional videos
:-) Thanks for your nice comment, and yes, since I love the original promotionals from Tamiya, mine are similar :-) best regards!
Atemberaubend schön! Vielen Dank für dieses geniale Video! Und der HotShot ist wirklich eine Legende...
+Matteo's RC Movies Gern geschehen :-) ! Und danke für Dein comment, ja Legende...und schon fast märchenhaft.... Grüsse, DS
That Buggy was EPIC when it came out! Your choice of music fits it perfectly. Awesome video!!
I miss white letter tires! 😕 They look so much better - and I have no idea why they stopped.
Excellent video, well made with a great soundtrack to accompany it!
A bit late...but thanks for your great comment :-) best regards
The hot shot is one of the coolest looking buggies ever made. 4WD buggies are the 💣-diggity.
Thanks for your great comment !😃
@@Tamor70 You're welcome. ✌😊
Love it this should have been the official advert for the car they would have sold tons. And people moan about the Hotshot suspension not being up to it, But it seems to work pretty damn well in that vid. got mine at home waiting to be built and gold wheels on order lol And just bought my boy a grasshopper which was my first rc when I was 10. love they brought these back.
+Flibbertigibbet Very much appreciated your comment, thanks! And yes, the Suspension seems to be an issue for some ..., perhaps I was just kinda lucky...and yes these gold wheels are (unfortunately) extra order.... - But no complaining, with all these re-issues it's like 2nd x-mas ! :-) best regards
Awesome video of a Tamiya classic!!! Love that music :-)
Thanks, glad you liked it :-) ! best regards
Great stuff! A saved my pocket money to buy a Hotshot in 1985. It was my world!
Recently I had a talented friend track down an original that came with Futaba radio and even a prefect box, and then he totally restored it for me. It is fantastic!
Cool! Great to hear :-) Good thins should be preserved as long as possible though - Thanks for your great comment, best regards
Great music choice for this and some great shots!!
Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed 😀!
Yet another fantastic video. Thank you so much!
+Modellista Compulsivo Thank you for your comment, glad you liked it :-) Passion & Fun drives everything.....
Sehr cooles Video! Großes Kompliment! Toller Buggy perfekt in Szene gesetzt! Und zwar so gut, dass ich mir jetzt auch nochmal einen Hot Shot zugelegt habe. =)Danke für die Inspiration und weiter so!!!
+Drifter1970 Besten Dank für Deinen super Kommentar ! Der "Werbe-/Inspirations"-Effekt freut mich besonders :-), Grüsse
Looks like it's very solid in construction. Really cool rc and video!
+TwinEngines RC Thanks very much, and yes, the construction - even been criticised at the time to be too complicated - is quite solid for some serious action :-) best regards
You have skills... I built an original HotShot back in thd 80s and I ran it just last week. I upgraded to a 13t motor, radio and speed control. I also have 4 "modern" trucks but people always say, "cool buggy".... Lol.
Thanks for your great words! :-) ... all right, you did so!... must have been a nice experience to run it after all these years. I didn't own a hotshot back in the 80s though, but I was really impressed when I run first ! And yes, this Buggy is a bit a eye-catcher...but (I think) trucks are cool as well :-) best regards
Very nice. Looks Iike a modern HD take on the original advert from the mid 80's. looking for an original to rebuild at the moment. Excellent work Sir.
Thank you for your great comment ! Glad you liked :-) And yes, I try to do my clips rather reminiscent to These glorious days ...! best regards
Impressive and breathtakingly beautiful!
+2stroke4me Thank you ! Glad you like it :-) best regards
I LOVE THE power of this video! I love this car, so happy I own it. It has been a childhood dream to own it and to actually have it now, is just awesome! Great video! EPIC!
+Spike Spiegel Thank you, glad you like it :-) and appreciate your comment very much. And I'm also glad that this dream came also true to you as well :-)
Tamor70 You Sir, have made me very happy with this video, it truly elevated the awesomeness of this epic car! It just has something about it, something extraordinary and you certainly brought out the energy associated with it in this video :D So it should be me thanking you for sharing this awesomeness. :)
+Spike Spiegel :-) you're welcome !
Wow!Das ist einfach wunderbar!Super Aufnehmen!:) Ich bin wirklich sehr begeistert!Und natürlich auch von dem Klassiker!Ich mag die total! Weiter so!
+Maurice RC Productions Besten Dank für die Worte! Und ja, beim selben Ausflug, war ich noch mit dem Buggy Champ / Rough Rider unterwegs, auch absoluter Klassiker :-) ... vid to follow, Gruss
Tamor70 Genial!:)
EPIC VIDEO AND AN EPIC R/C car. When I was a kid I could not afford one. The best I could get was a Tyco Turbo Hopper. Damn the 80's was great!
Thanks for your great comment, much appreciated :-) ! ...and yes, in the 80's it was .... all new and just so exciting! best regards!
Amazing video footage of a cult classic. Very well done! Liked and Subscribed!

+bel976 Thank you, glad you liked it. I'll appreciate very much :-)
Great camera and editing work! :--)
Great looking car..a blend of old and modern.... kind of reminds me of the Tamiya Superchamp I used to own and love...
Epic video...
:--)
Thanks for your great words! Glad you liked it :-) ... so, you also had the Super Champ at the time...great car, which I also "re-discovered", see my vid's of the SC on this channel, if you want... best regards
Tamor70
Yes I've gladly watched them thankyou so much! :--)
I live in a tiny village in South Wales... back in 1982 a boy had one in the village.... non of us boys had seen a hobby grade rc car....especially one without a lead going from the controller to the car! Lol....
I had one soon after ( lucky me) I had to build it to of course..
Loved it for many years.....then sold it as a teenager.....wish I had kept it!..would love it in my collection....
All the best...
Thanks Sam! And thanks for your further comment :-) ... I was lucky enough to keep mine at the time though... but actually, they re-issued the Champ as "Fighting Buggy"... I got one, but it's still unboxed :-) All the best from switzerland, Daniel
Awesome video
it was put together nicely :D
Thanks for your comment and appreciation :-) best regards!
Wow.... beautiful. Great video
Thanks ! Glad you like it, much appreciated 🙂 Best regards!
Cool action shots...!!
+awd thanks for your comment :-) !
¡IMPRESIONANTE!
Buen video y un precioso modelo de Tamiya.
Gracias ! :-) y saludos !
Wow, that was awesome!
Glad you liked it :-) & Thanks for your comment, best regards
Great video. The Tron tunes rock.
👍 Thanks for your great comment !
Great vid 👍. I had a Frog and a Striker back in the day. A mate and I built a track out the back of his place and spent many hours racing and modifying our cars. Also really good to see no negative comments. Well done people. Little things like this prove we can all get along.
Thank you for your great comment :-) ! And yes, "modeling" is a good thing to do, with good memories, as you also mention :-). If it's scale or not - see on your channel, that you do 1:1 buggies ! Pretty awesome, but you need that space, which you got there in Australia....here in tiny switzerland you could bet on complaining neighbours....;-) best regards from tiny switzerland!
Good on ya mate look forward to seeing more of your videos.
おーっ、(Wow,) What many great jumps!! running has so powerfull impression also filmed with very fine pictrue. so we are able to watch the movement of a cool machine very well.
+BuoyEngine Thank you for your great comment! And yes, one of my passions is kind of to portrait a cars quality characteristics :-) best regards
WOW Man! Seeing this car brought back so many memories. The original HotShot was the car my best friend had when we were kids in the 80s, I had a Kyosho Optima.
These were such great times. The Hotshot is such a Badass looking machine, you have done an Amazing job capturing how Cool this car is.
Excellent video, very Impressive and entertaining........Liked and subscribed (-:
+Jax Teller RC Glad the way you see it, thanks very much for your impressions! I've checked your channel as well (and subscribed) and you got some serious action there (fav so far, VW desert racer....) :-) all the best!
Tamor70
I went out today to buy an rc plane and came home with a wild willy 2 ha ha ha, I couldn't resist it (-:
Thanks so much for subscribing mate and I am glad to hear you are enjoying my channel ((-:
+Jax Teller RC :-)) ouuu, yes....sometimes life is not really projectable, specially when it comes to RC.... :-) You sure will enjoy the WW. And yes, I'll go through (all) your vids as soon as possibel, looking Forward to it !
Tamor70
I still haven't even had a chance to take it out of the box lol
Thanks mate, I have a lot of videos (-:
Awesome vid bud...Man I think the Hot shot was my first video...But it was nowhere near the quality of this one... Great job bud... Excellent work on the camera...
+RcNickster Thank you, I'll appreciate very much. I've checked your channel, and found some Supershot vid's...:-) best regards
lol.... nothing like the quality vid you've given us...it was way back when I got started...lol
+RcNickster :-) yes, but kinda' nice anyway and it's real... that's always good
It is a great video! ! !
Nostalgic I have ordered! ! !
+Katsunori Suzuki (Bell's Factory) Thank you, I'll appreciate very much! You got some interesting & funny Videos as well (also ordered...) best regards
Pure awesome! Liked and Subscribed
Thanks :-) ! Glad you enjoyed though, best regards!
Looks like you've seen 50 times. That's the best video.
Thank you for your great words :-) Glad you liked it ! best regards
Nice camera work. Looked very scale and real.
Thanks for your nice comment! :-) best regards
Awesome Video!
Thanks! Glad you liked it :-) best regards
AWESOME VIDEO!!The hot shot series buggies the meanest looking buggies ever made in my opinion!PS. you have to hold up that battery wire some how from hanging down it will get mangled like that.
+shenlonco Thanks, I'll appreciate your comment. And yes, this wire is a bit of a challenge....best regards
Nice buggy, it deserves to be built with a ball bearing kit & the Tamiya gt tuned 25t motor (Tamiya ESC motor limit).I'm using a Tamiya rz 23t super stock motor, 13t steel pinion gear & a 7.2v 3300mah traxxas battery. Gps speed was 38kph with 13t pinion & 44kph with a 15t pinion. Both of those motors have more torque than stock motors, good for a heavy 4x4 vintage buggy.
+Rcalltypes Thanks for your great comment and input. And yes, to have more Performance you're right. But if I go for filming, less Performance makes it easier for me to catch up...;-) (Long time ago, I've passed my 20iest Age....;-) ) best regards
Rcalltypes 44kph on a 7.2v battery? Impressive.
beautiful video!!!
+MondoReman Rho Thank you, glad you enjoyed :-)
This is one car i didn't have as a kid so I'm building one now. What a complicated car to build so many parts
Hi! thanks for your comment :-) ! And yes, true, this kit is not really a simple one though... it's been "criticized" at the time to be to complicated, eg. construction for just one shock Absorber for two wheels... BUT i hope you defenitey can enjoy building it (or is now already finished) and maybe also go for a decent driving (experience), it's worth for sure :-) all the best !
@@Tamor70 thanks for replying. I love the hotshot about half way through building it only 6 months into the build lol i have a lot going on but I'll get there haha. I used to race a hirobo zerda against the hotshot back in 1985 was a lot of fun.
:-) All right, cool ! there's never rush... take your time... but never give up :-) best
very nice video and music great video greetings from germany.
Thank you ! Glad you liked it :-) greetings from switzerland !
Great video well done
Thanks for your comment ! Glad you like it :-) best regards
Love this video!

Das ist ja einfach nur GENIAL!!! Super Video!!!! :D +1Abo!
+RC Showdown Besten Dank für Dein Kompliment ! Freut mich :-) Grüsse
just imagine if this is 1/1 scale. awesome. :)
ohh yeah :-) thanks for your cool comment! best regards
This is an absolutely marvelous work.
I grew up with this buggy and this video really captures the essence of both the era and the buggy. Epic music and high quality slow motion - Brilliant!
You have immortalized this iconic machine.
I think I've watched this 10 times already and every time it transports me back to my childhood! Thank you.
May I ask what the theme song is and what camera did you use?
+Gee Z Wow, these are great words, I'll appreciate very much! Best regards
Also, does the Mabuchi Motor RS 540SH work well? Should I change? And Bearings... FastEddy? Thanks :) Great Video :0
Hi there, thanks for your great comment! To your questions: I simply used kit's content, so Mabuchi Motor 540SH, common ESC and no extra (ball-) bearings and it goes VERY well.
I'm sure you could use brushless, since the chassis and gearing I think is very stable. But I am not into brushless for Tamiya kits (so far), therefore I can't give any advise which one to use. I hope you'll find your best setup and you'll have fun anyway :-) best regards
looking at getting either this or the Super Hot shot at the end of this month. Think I might go for this, theres just something about the design that I prefer.
Thanks for your nice comment, much appreciated :-)
I don't own the Super Hot Shot, but I also prefer this "first HS".... and it is "Hot" anyway though.
And keep in mind, it's legendary since it's been the first 4W buggy at the time.
But eitherway, you'll have great enjoyment for sure :-) ! best regards
How did you get your front suspension to work?
I just finished build on a re-re Hotshot, and the front suspension sits squat, and when depressed, it bottoms out and stays down. I read up online and many people seem to state that this is a problem with the hotshots with monoshocks.
But in your video, the front wishbones are pushed all the way up and they actually work!
+Sage Kim Hi there, thanks for your comment & question. I try to answer: first, my chassis is 100% Re-re as well Second, perhaps it helps if you adjust the spring (strong enough) on the front damper. Mine is, eventhough it works, quite soft & slow. Hope you can fix it on yours.... best regards
legend car
True :-) thx for your comment, best regards
I'm thinking about getting one, is it worth 200 dollars? Plus the radio battery and charger brings it up to $270?
Übernought • Tamiya's are always worth their price ;)
Hi there, if you have a radio control unit already, +/- $200 will do it (with battery & charger) depending on how you order. best regards!
That's true !
EPIC!!!😳
+blzr2bull Thanks ! :-)
it's the best! cool!
:-) thank you for your comment ! best regards
echt starkes video
:-) Danke !
MUSIC IS AWESOME!!!!!! VERY NICE VIDEO!!!! BUGGY IS .......STILL JUST ACE!!!!!!BRAVO!!!!!!
+ODSTP471 DRPPJR Thanks for your appreciation :-) best regards
the music does not fit the mod at all he should have played some eurobeat and not slowed down the video.
This is one red hot beauty!
Thanks for your comment :-) ! Best regards
Very cool, nice camera work? How did you follow the buggy around?
Thank you! To do these shots I'm just holding the camera low level (sometimes with a self made extension) and then: running! With my left hand I do the radio control.... quite sporty actually.... best regards
this is really amazing, very good job !
Can you tell me which camera did you use please ?
Sure, it's a Panasonic HC-V757 - thanks for your great comment :-) best regards
thank you so much,
hopefully you'll do other new videos like this !
Good effort
+Scott Quinn Thanks for your entry.... effort & FUN :-)
Tamor, this is an amazing video! I will be watching more of your stuff, and I just subscribed. How did you get such great, closeup follow shots like this? Was someone running behind the car with the camera? Mounted on another RC Car? I don't know how you kept the camera on the car so well while it was moving so fast away from you. Thanks, Brian
+dpss2112 Hi Brian, thanks for your great words, much appreciated! Actually, I'm just holding my cam with my right hand, on left hand the RC unit... and to capture "the right picture" is pure exercise :-) best regards, Daniel
Amazing that you could run that fast and keep up with the speed of the car!
How did you get the gold rim edition? I can only find the white rims. Awesome video btw thanks for sharing 👍
Hi and thanks for commenting, much appreciated :-)
I bought those gold plated wheels back in 2010 on "the bay".
I still have one set unpacked, could sell it to you, if your interested.....
Let me know, best regards
@@Tamor70 thanks! Once I buy the car I will reach out to you. 👍
@@steveh8224 All right, cool ! 👍
wow! by far the best vid i ve ever seen made by you.. concrats! what cam did you use?
3:25 love it!
nice cuts btw! 👍
+Art Jorge Thanks man! :-) yes, these days I stick with the Panasonic HC-V757 cam, best regards!
Never drove my one on sand looks like fun
Thanks for your comment! And yes, it is definitely worth to go on sand fun & also the great power of the 4WD :-) best regards!
Hammer Video
:-) Besten Dank (nochmals) ! Grüsse
Hallo Armin, Du hattest mich am 30.04.2019 etwas gefragt zu diesem Video, sehe aber den Eintrag hier nicht (mehr). Nun, generell ist der Sound von UA-cam (ist meines Wissens auch ein anderer "Künstler"...), hoffe das klärt sich somit. Beste Grüsse
Love it, just the wire way no pick up to Better?
:-) Thanks for your comment! And yes, the wire "had a bit of dust eating...", didn't notice at the time filming...so many things to think of during the shooting....best regards :-)
Nice car and nice vidéo thumbs up and subbed !
at 2.45, is your camera on another car or...you are hussain bolt ?
Thanks, very much appreciated :-) I also subbed to yours, very nice 'n interesting Videos (will do comments soon as well). And no other car for filming....yes, I'm running though...I'd appreciate if H. Bolt could help me on that ;-) !best regards
... then you run... SO FAST ! LOL
Nice
Thank you, glad you like it :-) best regards
Then you spent the next day cleaning sand out of the transmission and bearings...but it's worth it for those pics. Looks great.
+Angus Allott Thanks a lot :-) And yes, cleaning is not the best part....best regards
This is great. Is this stock Mabushi??
+Johnny Turbine Thank you, and yes, Motor is stock Mabushi :-) regards
Song title? (I know it's not Darude Sandstorm.)
Hi there, it's Aurora from Groove Addicts....best regards
Wonderfull! This video is lie honey.
Thank you
+Binbin Ben Glad you like :-) and thanks for commenting, best regards
When did this buggy come out?
True, m4jedi, and thanks for answering :-) And the re-issue though came out 2007...in this clip you see the re-issue, rgds
Hi, did you use a drone to follow the Hot Shot?
Hi ! No drone, I just hold the camera low level (sometimes with a self made extension) and I'm running.... keeps me fit ! :-) best regards
Congratulation! Excellent work.
Thank you :-) !
What is motor do you use?
Hi there! It is the 540 type Motor from the Kit/Tamiya. best regards!
Russell Crowe in Gladiator,s no got a look-in,..lol,..Bad-Ass!! Well Done dude!!
+dukeswhiteshark :-) thanks a lot !
I’m by no means a tech wizard, but had to buy this 1985 wonder. Still the coolest buggy ever designed. It’s so mean.
Other than servo and battery boxes what kind of paint and oil etc. is essential for the build? Please advice me - thanks!
Hi Martin! Thank you for your comment. And congratulation for your purchase, very good choice, 'cause it IS A MEAN vehicle, very cool too drive...- So, you're asking me for extra stuff for the built? Paint, yes: Best, you're going to use Tamiys Spray, for this polycarbonate body, you use the "PS"-Sprays (so for red: PS-2) - this is in the manual mentioned, for the plastic parts, such as driver figure, you use the X- or XF- colors by Tamiya (or any other for plastic parts paint). Oil: should be all included in the kit, no additional (normally) needed. I hope you have a ESC (electronic speed controller) for the "electrics". I think that's about it to make it running....
Maybe you started already, but anyway: ENJOY all of it, building, running, repair (hope not...) and just to play with it :-) best regards, Daniel
I should've get it when it was little over $200 including shipping. Now its over $300 everywhere i found..
True....if they're out of stock at the resellers....maybe you'll be lucky and the kit will be reissued once more....
I got mine in 2009 for less than $200...
Thanks for your comment & all the best!
Atemberaubend..!!!
+Franky goes to Hobbywood Danke. Übrigens cooler channel Name :-) Videos werde ich mir auch mal noch anschauen...
That battery wire is giving me anxiety issues.
;-)! You're not the first mentioning it though.... but you can chill...;-) battery (and wire) survived... and I think I didn't kill any animal creature with an electric shock on that beach .... ;-) best regards and thanks for your comment!
Imagine this without music
