FAQs
Is this part compatible with the Tamiya Hotshot II?
No, this part is specifically designed for the original Hot Shot (58047) and the Re-Release (58391) and is not compatible with the Hotshot II.
Does the roof come pre-painted?
No, this part typically arrives as a clear or white molded plastic piece, requiring painting to match your specific vehicle color scheme.
Does this include the screws for mounting?

Troubleshooting
Roof does not sit flush against the body
Check for leftover plastic fragments from the old roof or ensure the body shell has not warped due to heat exposure.
Screw holes do not align perfectly
Verify that the chassis variant is either the 58047 or 58391; other Hotshot-family variants may have slightly different mounting point tolerances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this roof, ensure your body shell is cleaned of any residual adhesive or broken plastic fragments from the previous component. Align the roof with the designated mounting holes on the upper cabin section of the Hot Shot body. Use the original hardware or equivalent small-gauge RC screws to secure it in place.
Regarding compatibility, this part is strictly limited to:
- Tamiya Hot Shot (Original, 58047)
- Tamiya Hotshot (Re-Release, 58391)
For care, if you intend to paint the part to match your chassis, use high-quality polycarbonate or plastic-safe spray paints. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents for cleaning, as these can embrittle the plastic over time.
