Hotshot II Blockhead Motors

Item No: 58710

Customized Hotshot II
The Hotshot II debuted in 1987, a follow up to the Hotshot, our wildly popular first-ever shaft driven 4WD buggy. 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.

Shaft Driven 4WD Chassis
Based 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.

1/12 Big Scale Racing Car Series no.37

Lotus type 78 (w/Photo Etched Parts)

Item No: 12037

A Pioneer
Renowned as one of the pioneers of the wing car era, the Lotus Type 78 debuted in the 1977 Argentine Grand Prix to much acclaim for its sleek, aerodynamic form. The inverted gull wing shaping on the underside of its side pontoons generated significant downforce via the "ground effect," without adding significant drag, giving the Type 78 exemplary cornering speed. In the highly capable hands of Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson, it triumphed in the United States Grand Prix West, and the Spanish, French, Italian and Belgian Grand Prix. It raced into the first half of the 1978 season, and helped put the Lotus team firmly back on the map.

About the Model
★This is a 1/12 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 381 mm, width: 171 mm, height: 76 mm. ★Features moving coil-sprung suspension. ★The steering wheel turns the front wheels. ★A highly realistic depiction of the engine features numerous pipes and lines. ★Removable front and cockpit cowls, radiator ducts and induction box allow inspection of the model interior, even after its completion. ★Comes with photo-etched parts for radiator cores, brake discs, two different types of wing end plates, and more. ★Decals include recreation of Goodyear logos on the nose tip and wing plates.
