Retro Racer: Tamiya 58361 Thunder Shot Reissued

The Tamiya 58361 Thunder Shot revives a late 1980s classic in a 1/10 scale format. It appeals to modellers who want a nostalgic build that still performs reliably on dirt tracks and club circuits.

ABS Bathtub Chassis for Enduring Strength

Built around a resilient ABS bathtub chassis, the Thunder Shot resists impact and flex in everyday use. The double wishbone arrangement with an upper I-arm stabilises wheel motion, giving a predictable feel when tackling rough sections.

Geared Compact Drive and Aerodynamic Shell

The gearbox is compact and includes an internal differential to improve cornering balance. The bullet-shaped bodywork keeps the profile tidy and complements the car's handling characteristics.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drivetrain: 4WD
  • Chassis Type: ABS Bathtub
  • Suspension: Double Wishbone with Upper I-Arm
  • Body Style: Bullet-Shaped

Tamiya 58361 Thunder Shot is ideal for collectors and hobbyists seeking a solid retro project that also offers enjoyable on-track behaviour after assembly and setup.

Basic modelling tools such as cutters, files and a small screwdriver set are enough. A hobby knife and fine sandpaper help with parts prep for a neat finish.
Careful tyre choice and setting ride height will greatly influence handling. Small sway adjustments and ensuring the gearbox is clean and lubricated also help consistency.
Many parts and repro components remain available through hobby suppliers, so maintenance and repairs are straightforward compared with rarer vintage kits.
Yes, its period-correct body makes it an attractive display piece, and the kit finish can be tailored for either show or regular running depending on paint and detailing choices.
