Aero Thunder Shot - compact aerodynamics for precise laps

The Tamiya Aero Thunder Shot places aerodynamic refinement into the Mini 4WD REV Series, featuring smooth contours and engineered intake openings front and rear. It is intended for hobbyists who want a tidy mix of visual appeal and functional track performance.

Underpinnings - the AR Chassis explained

The AR Chassis provides a resilient ABS framework that promotes stability and predictable handling. Its layout supports compatibility with several TZ-style bodies, offering flexibility for modders and racers experimenting with different configurations.

Tuning, wheels and motor options

The car is supplied with large-diameter lightweight wheels and arched tyres to aid stability and reduce drag on typical Mini 4WD surfaces. The stock 4.2:1 gear train and Type 130 motor deliver dependable performance, while common upgrades include alternate motors, tyre sets, and gear choices to tailor acceleration and top speed.

Build experience and track suitability

Assembly is approachable for newcomers and still rewarding for experienced builders who want to refine performance. A new sticker sheet allows for custom liveries. The AR Chassis adapts across a range of Mini 4WD track formats, providing versatility for different race conditions.

The Aero Thunder Shot combines aerodynamic form and a durable AR Chassis in a compact Mini 4WD kit, making it a reliable basis for tuning and competitive use.
