That's really impressive Steve. Handles incredibly well with the lighter springs and very powerful for a stock motor. I think you have found the sweet spot for that car.
I have always said the thundershot was miles ahead of its time. It’s what started me on a lifetime of RC . That is the best handling vintage rere I have seen so far. I drove a bigwig a few years ago and that felt really nice to drive too. I found this video because I’m thinking of buying a thundershot .
It's a great buggy but you need to swap the rear springs out with the ones used in the super hot shot like I did because the stock springs they made way to long for the shocks and it makes it so stiff in the rear it just hops all around when you use them. Thanks for looking and go for it!
The handling of the Thundershot is impressive, the way it handled the terrain in the field is great, and the slow motion action makes it more impressing. Get to see the dirt flying all over the place, thanks for sharing.💯💯💯💯🤜🤛
@@ShenRC cool. Beside it get more intersted in those cars and had the money spent on other RC cars, I would rather like to see how it performes against a stock classical Avante. Thinking of the prices this might be a revolution if this anime inspired cars are faster then this high-end beast. 🤔
It really drove super great out there and handled all the rough stuff well!! I will have to grab some of those springs for some of mine to try them out!!! I love the look of this buggy!!!
Yeah use the shorter springs and you can ad a spacer to make them the way you like and they run much better, most of these in stock form I se the rear hopping all around the whole time they are running them. It sure s a beauty i love this chassis and all the buggies but that darn pulled tooth dragon! LOL!! Thanks for looking!
Hi they are the rear springs from the super hot shot rear shocks, and you can try 15wt or 10wt I used the stock pistons they show you using when you build the kit.
Hi there Steve, a great Thundershot run for sure, people, really, why don’t they place there plastic netting in the proper bin, a poor animal could also get caught up in that stuff, let alone a poor Tamiya Thundershot! 😂😂, awesome dust trail! The suspension looks very compliant. Take care and best wishes to you and the family 😊😉
Nice, same chassis as mine. Net or other rubbish, been there and destroyed bearings. First tumble without running, then another with brakes them more 🙂Would have been cool if Tamiya had done a hard body version.
tamiya diffs confuse me, as they are neither open nor slip diffs, yet they work on a similar principle to viscous limited slip diffs but they go together as an open diff, its freakin genius considering how simple they are, but freakin weird on how they work, heck i'd bet they make most modern rc diffs look bad
Hi they are open diffs but what makes them feel like oil filled diffs is when you coat all the gears inside them with tamiya antiwear grease. Thanks for looking.

Thanks, The shorter super hot shot springs in the rear made a world of difference. Thanks for watching.
What I a beauty is right dude !! Tearing it up on Halloween like a champ!!
It's a great buggy lots of fun to rip around. Thanks Guy's!

Awesome buggy i love running my old tamiya cars on 2s.Perfect blend of power for those brushed motors.
Yep gives them that little extra POP they need to feel just right! Thanks for looking.

Awesome run Steve. The Thunder Shot looks great. I need to get mine built. So many projects.
Yea this things super awesome once you put the springs on that I used. Thanks for looking!
Yeah that netting is a killer got into some of that before
you can see in slo mo when it's sliding towards me getting stuck in the wheel! Thanks for watching.

Couldn't agree more! Thanks so much.
It’s a great one
Yes so much fun!! Thanks Bud.
Hi Steve, first a big compliment for NOT putting on the extra wing.
Is it really stock? This Thundershot is awesome fast.
Great run my friend👍
Yes, it is all stock with ball bearings and a steel pinion it goes real good! Thanks for watching.
@@ShenRC cool. Beside it get more intersted in those cars and had the money spent on other RC cars, I would rather like to see how it performes against a stock classical Avante. Thinking of the prices this might be a revolution if this anime inspired cars are faster then this high-end beast. 🤔
@@RCBirds Hi I honestly think these chassis will run better than the Avante.
@@ShenRC now I feel being robbed🤣
@@RCBirds All show bling and maybe no go?
Wow! That thing Rocks 🤘🏻😝! It handles that terrain beautifully with the softer springs! Thanks for sharing this gem Brother!⚡️⚡️⚡️💯💯💯
Thanks 👍These buggies run great!
Nice run!!
Thanks!
Yeah the Thundershot is making some real nice dustclouds.
👍 BEAUTY!
What a beauty indeed Steve! She really ripped it up; such a nice buggy!👍😊
Yes indeed! love it!!! Thanks HD!

I've been thinking about one of these. Looks smooth. Surprisingly fast with the silver can. Thanks
it's really nice! Thanks for looking.
Part number for the springs? Also what weight oil you running front and rear? 2 or 3 hole pistons? Great runner, looks like it handles very very well
Hi they are the rear springs from the super hot shot rear shocks, and you can try 15wt or 10wt I used the stock pistons they show you using when you build the kit.
Snappy and quick! Suspension, as quirky as it looks seems pretty smooth. Too bad about the RC net trap! Cheers!
It's a nice runner! Thanks for looking.
Really it's wonderful car 👍👏👏👏
Thanks it is cool!

For sure!! and the thundershots runs like a champ! Thanks very much for watching.
Looks awesome Steve! 🙂👌Just might get one myself some day even if I am not the greatest fan of those style of buggys from Tamiya.
Try one they run much better than the hot shot super hot shot series buggies. I think you will like it!
Nice.. what brand battery did you get and speed control? TIA..:)
Hi thanks, this has the hobywing 1060 esc and I am running a venom 2s lipo.
@@ShenRCthank u!
Nice, same chassis as mine. Net or other rubbish, been there and destroyed bearings. First tumble without running, then another with brakes them more 🙂Would have been cool if Tamiya had done a hard body version.
O that net!!! These are awesome runners you will like yours! Thanks for watching.
Bad part of a bubble cabin is when they flip that bubble gets scratched up
Yep they look good for shelves after running they look like hell!! LOL!! Thanks for watching.
I think you should GPS it.
You have a 6,000 milliamp pack in there because I bought one and it fits a lot of Tamiyas.
Hi I think mine was the venom 5400Mah 2s.
@@ShenRC forgot the name of mine started with a s.
@@ShenRC yeah I forgot the name of it started with an s and it's 70c haven't used it yet.
I miss the rocky surface that used to have.
Yea me to I loved the terrain in this spot from back in the day.
I'm always surprised How they slide without rolling.
So awesome right? Thanks for looking.
Cuz I you told me that it had the stock motor in it it must have come with the biggest pinion you could use in it?
All stock Brad but bearings and a steel pinion the same size they give you in the kit. It runs great!
@@ShenRC what's the pinion size?
@@bradkalman2353 I don't recall maybe 15T?
It’s a ripper😁 that netting sucks to get caught in the axles and wheels ..
Yeah and I just noticed in a slow motion shot when it's sliding towards you you can see it get stuck in the wheel!
