This and other old-school Tamiya videos have rekindled my childhood. I had one of those when I was six. I was the envy of the neighborhood. Equivalent of having an Enzo Ferrari these days. Thank you, TAMIYAINC.
it kinda sucks that 25 yrs after the thign came out i finally get one. my neighbor was tossing out one of the ORIGINAL hotshots that he had cuz he couldnt fix it. i am soo glad i finally have one now.. its age shows but i am in the process of fixing it up. soo fun to drive
i hope that tamiya can re-release the 1/10 scale fox that was a great buggy 2wd and fast as hell wow they will make a lot of money if the re-release it.
the fox was good, but those universal shafts sucked big time, dont know how many i tore up, thankfully I found a new in the pack set on ebay, now I just run mine very carefully lol every now and then

I remember standing outside the hobby store in the mid 80’s watching these videos and wishing I had one
Amazing!! I love the part where they show the suspension travel and drive shaft. Very cool!! So tempted to get the re-release version now.
I love these old promo vids. That anouncer is so boring and the music was lame but cool slo-mo shots. Brings back memories.
That’s nostalgic, these RC Buggies hitting up the dirt, even the mud of that matter.
glad they brought it back, and the new speed controller is a big improvement

great memories!! I vaguely remember putting one of those "black" motors on it and then it flew.
One of my favorites. Awesome PV.
