Tamiya 18620 Thunder Shot Mk.II Mini 4WD Special Edition Kit  [18620]

Mini 4WD with classic off-road styling

The Tamiya Thunder Shot Mk.II adapts the look of traditional 4WD buggies into a compact Mini 4WD form, featuring a sharp, aerodynamic body that helps concentrate airflow and reduce drag during fast laps.

MS chassis: engineered for mid-motor balance

Built around the MS chassis, this model uses a segmented construction to fine tune weight placement and chassis stiffness. The chassis accepts a mid-mounted double-shaft motor, which aids handling by lowering the centre of mass.

Practical upgrades for track gains

You can extract better performance with a few targeted mods:

• Motors: Fit motors with improved power delivery to get faster acceleration off the line.
• Tires: Low-profile tyres reduce sidewall flex for sharper cornering on smoother tracks.
• Gears: Swap gear sets to dial in either faster starts or higher top speed.
• Dampers: Install dampers to reduce bounce and keep the car planted through transitions.

Race-ready fit and easy assembly

Compatible with common Mini 4WD track standards, the Thunder Shot Mk.II suits both competitive events and casual racing. Its snap-fit assembly keeps build time short so you can focus on setup and upgrades.

If you want a tunable Mini 4WD with authentic buggy aesthetics, the Tamiya Thunder Shot Mk.II is a dependable base for upgrades and race setup work.
