Description[]
Hot Tub is a hot rodded hot tub/spa, with the driver being immersed in water due to the seat being directly inside the tub. Due to its full-metal construction Hot Tub is often seen as a prime choice for downhill racing. The name is a double entendre, the actual name of the tub and "Hot", as in Hot Wheels.
The casting was retooled in 2021, losing the metal base and gaining a new plastic base; this plastic base has all the originally hollow parts of the base filled in. The casting also gained a plastic spoiler which is part of the pool insert. The engine was cast into the body. The seat and steering wheel are also now part of the tub and the wing, seat & steering was also moved outwards against the tub walls.

2006 card[]
From the back of the 2006 card:
FUN FACTS!
No kidding, the Hot Tub™ is a sauna on wheels! If you think that's crazy, you won't believe that the "Scum Chums" action pack featured the Hot Seat, a now now-retired toilet on wheels and the Sudster, a bathtub on wheels. This is a highly collectible pack!
