Thunder Dragon Vintage Reissue

The Thunder Dragon back catalogue model has been reissued to retain the classic 1988 looks while offering a practical 1/10 scale chassis for hobbyists. The design pairs a shaft-driven 4WD system with double wishbone suspension and an ABS bathtub chassis to provide dependable off-road behaviour and an enjoyable build process.

Robust Undercarriage and Smooth Dampers

The ABS bathtub chassis forms a durable, easily maintained base that copes with rough running. Drive is transmitted via a central shaft to front and rear differentials for steady traction. CVA oil-filled dampers plus a front stabiliser help keep control on uneven ground.

Period Bodywork with Modern Convenience

The clear polycarbonate body is supplied with silver pre-paint and is pre-cut for faster finishing. The aggressive spike tyres fitted to ABS wheels give solid grip on loose terrain and contribute to the authentic vintage stance.

Are parts compatible with other 1/10 Tamiya models?

Many common items like bearings, tyres and some hop-up components are compatible across Tamiya 1/10 models, but always check part numbers for items like suspension arms or chassis-specific pieces.

Can I convert the kit to brushless power?

Yes. A suitable brushless motor and compatible ESC can be installed provided the motor mounting and pinion are matched correctly. Verify gearing and battery capacity to suit the higher power output.

What radio setup is recommended?

A basic 2-channel radio is required. Choose a transmitter and receiver with reliable range and a steering servo with adequate torque for off-road use.

How should I store the body to avoid paint damage?

Store the polycarbonate shell away from direct sunlight and solvents. Place it flat or on a soft surface to prevent pressure marks and keep stickers in a cool, dry place until fitting.
