Introducing the Tamiya 18059 - 1/32 Thunder Shot RS Racing Kit

The Tamiya 18059 - 1/32 Thunder Shot RS Racing Kit is a compact Mini 4WD build based on the VS chassis, tailored for hobbyists who enjoy setup work. Included parts feature metal plated wheels and sizeable 16mm plastic rollers; the motor is fitted but batteries are not included.

Design and Chassis Behaviour

The VS chassis gives the Thunder Shot RS a compact stance that supports quick directional changes on the circuit. Its low weight helps with acceleration while the body shape and plated wheels add visual appeal and durability.

Tuning Pathways for Racers

Racers will find the large rollers useful for keeping the car stable through bends. The kit is friendly to common Mini 4WD upgrades, allowing changes to wheels, rollers, and gear sets to optimise lap times.

Does the kit include a motor and batteries?

The kit comes with a motor already installed but does not include batteries. You will need two AA cells to run the car.

Can I change the rollers to different sizes?

Yes, the roller mounts accept common Mini 4WD roller sizes. Swapping to different diameters or materials is a typical upgrade to suit track layout and handling preferences.

Is this a good kit for someone new to tuning?

It is a solid choice for beginners who want to learn basics of Mini 4WD setup. The VS chassis is straightforward and the included parts offer a clear starting point for upgrades.
