For me, this is simply one of the most beautiful and iconic 4WD buggies from the 1980ies! So happy Tamiya re-re-released this again last year, 2017.

This Build Video is a little different than normal. The main part consists of photos of the complete steps, initially used for Instagram. But for those who prefer a video and one click, here it is. I added the additional footage I had. It was really never intended for a video, as I build this in several steps in the evening time, with no studio lights, while my son was sleeping. I know it's a long video, with no images flickering by in a rush, but I hope it will interest the few, with a keen interest in the Hotshot family.

More footage of the final result, first tests and first run coming up very soon!
