Following the Fire Dragon, Scorcher, and Thunder Dragon, Tamiya proudly reintroduces the Thunder Shot with exciting updates!

An Entry-Level Futuristic Buggy

Originally launched in 1987, the Thunder Shot achieved widespread acclaim for its futuristic body design. Tamiya is thrilled to announce the re-release of this classic off-road buggy. The body, resembling a spaceship, is crafted from durable yet lightweight polycarbonate. It even features a cockpit housing a driver figure to enhance its realism. The sleek black wheels are paired with spiked tires, ensuring exceptional grip, while the sizable rear wing contributes to stable 4WD off-roading by providing additional downforce.

The front suspension is equipped with a unique mono-shock with a stabilizer, and the rear suspension features two high-performance CVA oil dampers. Gearboxes are fully enclosed to keep dirt and debris at bay and feature internal differential gear units, enhancing transmission efficiency.
