The Tamiya Thunder Shot 58706-60A is a faithful reissue of the 1987 favourite, refreshed to suit current RC hobbyists. It carries the heritage of the Fire Dragon and Scorcher while adding improvements aimed at on-track stability and reliability.
An aluminium motor mount improves rigidity and motor positioning, complementing new CVA oil dampers that help control body motion. The independent double wishbone suspension on all four corners gives consistent wheel movement and predictable traction across rough ground.
The kit includes a pre-cut, pre-painted polycarbonate body in white and blue, a clear cockpit canopy and a separate rear wing for authentic styling. The ABS bathtub chassis is robust and the semi-pneumatic spiked tyres deliver dependable bite on loose surfaces.
Tamiya 58706-60A offers a straightforward build with period looks and practical updates, ideal for fans of vintage designs who want to run a car that handles properly today.
