Details on 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 model built around the VS chassis, aimed at hobbyists who prefer hands-on setup work. It includes metal plated wheels and large 16mm plastic rollers, and while the motor is supplied, batteries are sold separately.

Handling Characteristics and Build

The VS chassis provides a compact, nimble platform that helps the car change direction quickly on circuit layouts. The body styling keeps a racing aesthetic and the metal plated wheels add a tougher look and feel compared to standard rims.

Customisation and Competitive Use

This kit suits racers looking to customise components. The large rollers help maintain lane stability and the model accepts common Mini 4WD modifications so you can adapt it to different tracks and race rules.

Is the kit ready to run out of the box?

The kit comes with a fitted motor but requires two AA batteries which are not included, so you will need to add power cells before running.

What maintenance does the Thunder Shot RS need?

Regular checks of axles, rollers and wheel fitment will keep performance consistent. Clean moving parts and replace worn tyres or rollers to preserve lap times.

Can this model be used for display as well as racing?

Yes, the detailed styling and plated wheels make the Thunder Shot RS suitable for display, while its VS chassis and rollers support competitive track use.
