It is (and was) a great build, with a few quirks, as you'd expect from Tamiya. Still waiting to get the body painted and finished to give it a run outside, no regrets with the purchase.

Yes good idea, also though don't forget to buy the terra scorcher G parts (original or shapeways 3d printed versions) so you can attach the body!

Please add the new cc-02 mercedes g500 model, my showroom entry is stuck on misc!???? thanks

The mad bull did stop production for a while and then came back under the same number... So I'd say it hasn't been rere'd. This happens when there's a change of inc. ESC usually but the mad bull and mad fighter had longer breaks as I recall

I thought it did, it looks like it

The hornet uprights (that you put the wheel nut on) are smaller than the blitzer range

Red and blue Tamiya tool sets are great, nearly 15 years on my red set, still going strong!

I've found I've needed to drive a buggy for hours until it's been a real keeper!

13t pinion keeps the motor cooll

If it's your only thundershot, I'd recommend restoring it back to how the manual says but add.... A5 steel plate, ball bearings, 13t 32dp steel pinion and a Tamiya super stock motor, lovely retro runner...

The cc-01 Tamiya alloy shocks?

I am going to do the upright servo option, the angle is less severe.. ...there is also a Tamiya hopup, alloy extendable servo horn which would help as well
