Thunder Shot Lightweight Shell Overview

The Tamiya 15502 Thunder Shot Clear Body Set is formed from thin polycarbonate to cut overall vehicle weight while retaining impact resistance. Reducing the centre of gravity helps the car feel more planted through bends.

Compatibility and Construction

This body is compatible with AR, VS, Super-1 and Super-II chassis types and uses a 0.4mm clear polycarbonate panel for an optimal balance of lightness and strength. Wing and catch mounts are manufactured from black ABS to maintain secure fixing points under load.

Tuning and Race Use

Its featherweight construction supports quicker acceleration off the line and crisper cornering response. Enthusiasts often pair the shell with higher torque motors, performance tyres and altered gear ratios to extract better track performance.

Mounting Advice

The kit supplies screws for a straightforward installation, but minor trimming or slight mount adjustments could be necessary on some chassis to achieve a snug, low-profile fit.

Good products, reasonable prices, fast shipping and good comms add up to a pleasant shopping experience :) will be happy to do business here again.
It fits the standard AR and VS chassis layouts listed, but very heavily modified or stretched variants may need small adjustments.
At 0.4mm the material is lightweight yet resilient for racing; it will resist minor knocks but may deform in high-impact crashes.
Yes, minor drilling or trimming is common to fine tune fitment. Use fine tools and test fit frequently to avoid over-cutting.
The black ABS mounts are tough and can be swapped or reinforced if you prefer custom strengthening for competitive use.
Complementary upgrades include higher performance motors, grip-focused tyres and tuned gear sets to capitalise on the lower weight of the shell.
