Description
The second release in the REV Series, Aero Thunder Shot reworks the body of the classic Thunder Shot R/C buggy — the machine that also spawned the Racing Mini 4WD Thunder Shot Jr. — into an aerodynamically optimised one-piece shell. Front bargeboards and a three-step rear wing manage airflow over the car, while openings in the canopy and side pontoons duct air in to cool the battery and motor as it runs.
The body sits low over large-diameter tires on lightweight wheels, a combination intended to favour top speed on tracks with long straight sections.
- Assembled dimensions: 155mm (L) x 97mm (W)
- Second model in the Mini 4WD REV Series
- Body: one-piece aerodynamic shell with front bargeboards and 3-step rear wing
- Wheels: lightweight, large-diameter tires
- Chassis: AR; includes motor; snap-together assembly
- Requires 2x AA (R6/UM3) batteries, sold separately
