One of the best-looking buggies Tamiya has ever produced. Work of art Glenn!

I was never a massive fan of the Thundershot, but by god that one looks utterly gorgeous! Those wing decals that you added have made a big difference, they really just look right. Nice one!!

The thundershot was my first ever hobby grade rc. I remember working on it every weekend with my dad for most of the winter. Those were great times…awesome video.

I have always wanted a Thundershot since I was a kid. I bought a Re-Re earlier this year and its still in the box. I like the dual shocks in the front, I may build mine the same! Great job!

Love these, was my first proper RC car and i got it in a thrift store for very little because it was not working, iirc the gears were stripped so ordered some of those and got it back running, wish i had kept it actually have no idea where it went as i have all my other RC cars from the 90s. Great video.

The Thunder shot is my favorite out of the series unless you consider the big wig part of the family. I prefer the car without the wing. This turned out beautifully Glenn
@steveblackbird6 ай бұрын
Bodywork looks epic... That wing is perfect..I'd keep it 100% The red stripe on the wing end plate sets it off perfectly!! Nicely done Glenn. Intake decals are great too. Look at me lol.. Been binging your channel after I just built an Avante 2011..With a barely used Technigold motor that I've just put in it... In love with Tamiya all over again after over 30 years without one in the fleet. *EDIT* Love the T shirt... must get a Technigold one!!!

Never saw a Thundershot with a wing. Wasn't aware that was even an option. When you first showed it, I wasn't sure about it. Once the decals were on, the lines just flow! Another job well done! That's going to look absolutely splendid in your collection! 😎👍

You made it look awesome Glenn wow I want one now😅 your comment on the tyre compound is correct i think the new stuff is so soft which will become apparent when you put the oval blocks on your super sabre build without killing your fingers 😅😅

The thought you've put into the wing is great, but it just doesn't sit well with the whole rear end shape of the body, it just looks plonked on. The buggy is beautiful

Best think about Tamiya is they always had a driver
@tonygregg69579 ай бұрын
Superb buggies, the terra scorcher is one of tamiyas best recent re-releases, good value and a good runner. I'm not sure about that wing it's just a bit fussy and could do with the back tilting up ever so slightly. Can't wait to see what you do with the other kit and glad you seem to have the building bug back.

I do have an original wing mount in spare. Drop me a message if you are interested in building a totally original winged thunder shot ;) Raced my Thunder Shot, too, when I was a kid. So I thought the wing is a must. Didn't turn out to be super stable so I replaced it with something 3rd party.
