Now, the Hotshot II makes a re-appearance with various tweaks added by the famous Japanese designer Mr. Jun Watanabe. It features an overhauled color scheme of brilliant blue (body and wing are pre-painted in this color, and pre-cut), with a prominent white stripe. The driver figure position has also been reevaluated, while the upper deck and roll cage are new components, bringing the driver up to a more realistic location. Guards and car number plates were also designed by Watanabe, while the motor has a dedicated sticker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Driven 4WD Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased upon the original Hotshot II design, this shaft driven 4WD chassis has sealed gearboxes and differentials front and rear and gives an intuitive drive. The front of the four-wheel double wishbone suspension employs a monoshock setup, with two dampers at the rear (all are CVA oil dampers molded in yellow), while metal plated parts such as uprights and wheels give the model a realistic look. The latter are shod with hybrid oval block\/pin spike low-profile tires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e★Length: 390 mm, width: 235 mm, height: 150 mm ★Weight: 1,285 g ★Tread: 205 mm (front), 200 mm (rear) ★Tire width\/diameter: 31\/88 mm (front), 38\/88 mm (rear) ★ABS monocoque ★Shaft-driven 4WD ★3-bevel differential gears ★2-piece steering tie-rod ★4-wheel double wishbone suspension ★Gear ratio = 8.70:1 ★Type 540 motor (with dedicated sticker) ★Electronic speed controller (ESC) is sold separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeparately Required Items\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e★2-channel R\/C system w\/ESC ★R6\/AA\/UM3 batteries for transmitter ★Battery pack \u0026amp;
