About the Tamiya 18059 - 1/32 Thunder Shot RS Racing Kit

The Tamiya 18059 - 1/32 Thunder Shot RS Racing Kit uses the compact VS chassis to deliver an agile Mini 4WD platform. The package includes metal plated wheels and large 16mm plastic rollers; a motor is supplied in the kit while batteries must be purchased separately.

Chassis Traits and Visuals

The VS chassis gives responsive handling and keeps mass low for better acceleration. The bodywork conveys a race-inspired look and the metal plated wheels add a robust finish for regular track use.

Upgrade Routes and Race Prep

With large rollers fitted, the Thunder Shot RS stays true to the track during fast sections. Hobbyists can pursue upgrades such as alternative rollers, gearing changes, and lightweight components to tune lap performance.

Use two AA batteries. For longer and steadier runs pick quality NiMH rechargeables or high-capacity alkaline cells depending on your budget.
Metal plated wheels are more resistant to wear than basic plastics, but inspect them regularly for nicks and keep bearings and axles clean to maintain performance.
Common effective upgrades include optimised gear ratios, low-friction rollers, and fine-tuned weight balance. Test changes incrementally to find the best setup for your track.
