This is what you'd need to make it closer to a thundershot.

That's roughly what I did with the Thundershot runner I built, though I do use the blue fixed suspension parts since I found the link pins. I think the only other significant thing I added was put thrust bearings in the gearboxes, replacing E1 and the thrust washer, to reduce wear. Checking the manual for the 2020 Terra Scorcher they don't include those thrust bearings. Official version 3rd party version Manual

The Terra Scorcher shock tower isn't much lower than the Thundershot one, you need the Terra Scorcher tower to mount the wing to though depending on which body you want. The issue for me was the front shock mount, where I'm using Thundershot bodies I use the Thundershot mount in front. I've got a bit of a mixture of cars, from an almost pure Thundershot built from parts (before the Terra Scorcher re re) to an almost pure Terra Scorcher with upgrades (that one went brushless and is quite speedy, I went the route of trimming out an internal bulkhead to fit a decent brushless ESC). I did pick up a rere Terra Scorcher to keep on the shelf for spares down the line. The main differences I can think of at the moment, if you want to take a Terra Scorcher rere to a Thundershot entirely: Bodyshell Ball bearings (I'd keep them anyway) Universal joints (ditto) Rear stabiliser (ditto) Twin front shocks (ditto) Front and rear suspension mounts, body mounts ("G" parts) Adjustable suspension upper bars and fittings Wheel colour Most of the improvements were available as upgrade parts to the Thundershot, depends if you want to build an absolutely out of the box Thunder Shot or a more drivable one. The hardest part to find I had when I was building a Thundershot as part of this project was the 14mm link pins that connect the blue suspension uppers to the C1s and F parts. I found a link pin bag for a silly amount of money in the end. If you keep the Terra Scorcher upper suspension parts you don't need to worry about them. I have a hybrid build with a repro Thunder Shot body basically finished to actually drive, on that I'm using the Terra Scorcher rear suspension mount and the Thunder Shot front mount to avoid having to fit the body somewhat to the mounts and to not have the look change. It's doable, though, especially if you use the 3d printed higher front Thunder Shot body mount with the repro Thundershot body. I've got a set of 4 black wheel hubs I'm not using (new in their bags) but no spare 14mm link pins.

Going on ebay instead.

These cost £40 (and time) to get from Canada. Best part of a fiver to ship via Hermes with a signature. Making £20 back is below my hassle to return ratio, so no thanks. I think £25 is a pretty good deal and that's as low as I'm going, any less than that and it can stay in my spares box. £25 or £30 including shipping in the UK.

Even before I heard there was a ReRe Terra Scorcher coming I've been gradually working on cars. My Rising Storm (DF-02) and Porsche Carrera GT (TB-02) are finished mechanics (finally got all the all-metal adjustable suspension bars done) and electronics, both brushless. Bodies repaired (the Porsche shell had a pretty bad prang at the front) with shoo goo and being over-coated with clear to help protect the stickers and then they are finished. Still haven't started on the stickers and paint on my three Thundershot chassis cars. The Terra Scorcher had a slightly damaged painted body and a new original sticker set to go on it, that's all that would require now. The two Thundershots (shelf queen with original body and runner with repro body) still need body and driver, etc, painting and stickering. I'll work on those as soon as the DF-02/TB-02 are done. Veeery tempting to pick up a ReRe Terra Scorcher though. I have a bunch of spares still, including Thundershot bodies (new and repro) and random other parts if anyone is trying to do a TS from a ReRe TS kit.

Still got this going spare.

Bump... anyone looking to do a ThunderShot build from a ReRe Terra Scorcher kit?

Hah. Your prediction might have some merit... though this will run me down to a B parts tree, a slightly damaged chassis, a bunch of dogbones, a spare set of new/original suspension arms... hey I could put a new car together!

Yep. No idea how it got there, so few of them left in circulation new.

I might have fallen down the "Oh, I've got all these spares, I can totally build another Thunder Shot to run" after my original body Thunder Shot appears to be turning into a shelf queen. Started inventorying things and seeing what I'd need but I didn't have a front stabiliser and a few other parts and I haven't been able to get front stabilizers other than with partial builds... until I read @Baddon's restore post which included a picture of a box of goodies with extras including front stabilisers. Next thing I know we're inventorying his box of goodies and I'm taking a chunk of parts I need. Ooops He did have an original chassis cover for a Thunder Shot which can go on my shelf queen and the repro one can go on this new runner. Time to find another receiver to put in it...

The thunder shot rere manual download from Tamiya says the same part number, but the picture is of the new one. My terra scorcher manual says 9005288. Huh. I guess the thunder shot bucket o'bits I bought was original, then (I thought it might have been, the chassis said Japan in it, I'm about to use that chassis in a thunder shot runner build), I have a used full set of the extra height parts mixed in with my spare parts.

You said left both times, I assume you mean right for the lower ones. Odd. The Terra Scorcher manual shows C parts looking the same as the Thunder Shot manual (which may be a rere manual)... did they change the part number for C parts? Ta.

A pair of the wrong C hub carriers must have come with one of the Thunder Shot / Terra Scorcher bit sets I bought, hadn't noticed they were different until today. The one on the right is a standard Thunder Shot carrier, the one on the left is almost the same but not right in the top mount. Any ideas? (and now I need an extra real Thunder Shot C hub carrier, since with noticing this I am one short... just after some get sold here).

Heh. @Yalson it was the bumper, still had the part number on the other side. The plastic was disintegrating, it was so old.

Someone has a few Thunder Shot screw bag A on ebay, which includes that stupid 36mm machine screw if you want to be really accurate in a refurb... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-9465266-Thundershot-Screw-Bag-A-Thunder-Shot-NIP-58067-VINTAGE/293349816303?hash=item444d02f7ef:g:FqkAAOSwuCBd3avk

SOLD Since I managed to get an original body I don't need this TBG body. It's as it came to me. These cost £40 including shipping and import duty/fees to get in the UK so I'd like £25 plus shipping for it.

I bought a pair of Thunder Shot bodies from the US with a box/instructions and set of stickers. I only needed one body so here's the other one. The box has a tear at one end and the top of the canopy on the body has some slight wear, presumably from rubbing against the box. Uncut, unpainted, as original. Looking for £100 plus shipping OBO.

Been a while but I finally had some more time to get back to this. The Terra Scorcher has gone more not-original-but-a-lot-of-fun-to-drive. I found a short servo and trimmed one of the internal bulkheads out of a chassis so I could fit a brushless ESC with fan in with a receiver... tried on 17 turn motor but it was a little slower than it could be so have shifted to a 13.5T/3650. Full DF-02 universals. New bearings. Metal A5 support still, full metal 3D printed B8 part with E-clip rods. All new blue plastic parts. Front anti-roll bar adapted with the same ends as the rears to get rid of the stupid bits of rubber tubing. I just need to decide if I'm putting real/repro stickers on the original (already painted) body. The Thunder Shot is staying mostly upgraded-original. This is what I would have wanted to do to mine in the '80s. Full Terra Scorcher universals, full bearings including thrust bearings, as many new parts as I could manage (almost all of it), steel A5 support, etc. I haven't put the twin front shocks on yet, which I did do to mine, but might yet do. The Avante link pins did for a while, with an extra washer, but I did manage to get a screw pin bag at some expense from the US for brand new link pins. While trolling around ebay for parts I had some good findings. A couple of original bodyshells with a set of stickers and I had already bought an original set of stickers... so now I have two. A few days ago I cut one of the original body shells using the score with a scalpel and then flex/break along the scorings to get good edges method... it needs masking and painting, though. Just got a brand new bumper that came back from Italy (if only these were still £4.75) so the underside has no marks at all. This thing has cost me a mint to put together, I don't want to add it up, but it is basically new. I think the only non-Tamiya part at the moment is the chassis cover... I have an original one for the Terra Scorcher but it isn't painted correctly for the Thunder Shot. It just needs painting and stickers then it's done. This looks like it will stay a shelf queen at least for now, it's too pretty. I have some extra parts I now don't need for sale: Boxed thundershot original body, uncut and unpainted, with original sticker set (slight box wear on the top of the driver dome, box has a tear) New TBG thundershot body Set of black thundershot runner wheels (a bit used up but perfectly usable) Tamiya 08 module steel pinion gear, 19T x2 Used good condition dogbones Various screwpins, some brand new Avante link pins Most of a set of used plastic gears (everything that was salvageable from the bucket'o'bits) So if you're doing a thunder shot type chassis restoration ping me. The bodies are probably the only things worth putting time into advertising.

Gone. This was posted out a while ago.

I'll take the rear anti-roll bar and the bumper, please, if you still have them. Will PM to sort money/address/etc.

I've also bought a bunch of smaller things from rcmart and had no problems. Only ended up paying import fee/duty once. One order from abroad took a while to arrive, most things have arrived reasonably fast for the distance. If I can get something in the UK or the EU for close to the price I tend to do that, but some things can be a chunk cheaper and I may not need them soon.
