Description
Entry-Level Futuristic Buggy
Originally released in 1987 the Thunder Shot gained widespread popularity with its futuristic body styling and Tamiya is now proud to announce the re-release of this classic off-road buggy. Its spaceship-like body is made from tough lightweight polycarbonate and even features a cockpit housing a driver figure for increased realism. The slick-looking black wheels are equipped with spike tires that provide excellent grip and the large rear wing helps add downforce for stable 4WD off-roading.
Easy to Assemble Shaft-Driven 4WD Chassis
Durable off-road chassis features mid-mounted motor for optimum balance and a bathtub frame to make installing the R/C mechanisms a breeze. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features upper I Arms and lower H Arms for a simple but effective setup. Front suspension features a unique mono-shock with stabilizer while the rear suspension has two high-performance CVA oil dampers. Gearboxes are fully enclosed to keep out dirt and debris and feature internal diff. gear units for enhanced transmission efficiency.
