Thunder Shot legacy revived: Tamiya Thunder Shot 58706-60A

The Tamiya Thunder Shot 58706-60A returns as a faithful reissue of the 1987 classic, updated for modern driving. It keeps the spirit of the original Fire Dragon and Scorcher lineage while introducing enhancements that suit contemporary RC racers and collectors.

Performance tweaks for modern racing

Key mechanical upgrades include an aluminium motor mount to improve motor alignment and stiffness, plus new CVA oil dampers for controlled rebound. The 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension continues to give predictable handling and consistent traction across rough surfaces.

Looks and build details

This kit arrives with a pre-cut, pre-painted polycarbonate shell in white and blue, a clear canopy and a separate rear wing for an authentic look. A sturdy ABS bathtub chassis forms the base, while semi-pneumatic spike tires provide dependable grip on loose and uneven terrain.

Is this kit a good project for someone new to building RC cars?

The kit assembly offers a solid learning curve for newcomers comfortable with basic tools and patience. You will need to source electronics separately and follow the manual carefully during assembly.

What type of ESC and battery should I use with the Thunder Shot?

Pair a standard 540-compatible brushed ESC and a 7.2V NiMH pack or a suitably regulated LiPo setup using a compatible ESC and battery harness. Match the ESC and battery to the motor and local safety guidelines.

Can I swap tyres or upgrade the dampers?

Yes. The semi-pneumatic spike tyres can be replaced with other tyre types for different surfaces, and the CVA units are serviceable and can be tuned or replaced to tweak handling.

Where can I get spare parts and upgrade items?

Genuine Tamiya spares and common upgrades are widely available through hobby retailers and online stores. Check part lists for the 58706-60A and compatible items from the Thunder Shot family.
