Can a Tamiya Thundershot Hit 70MPH? (Build Begins)

In this video, I start building a Tamiya Thundershot with one goal in mind… can it reach 70MPH? This classic vintage buggy is being pushed way beyond its limits using carefully chosen hop-ups and performance upgrades. Along the way, I’ll be fitting some seriously rare parts – including one of the hardest-to-find upgrades ever made for the Thundershot. This is Part 1 of the build series, where we strip it down and begin transforming it into a high-speed machine. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we take it out for a full speed test.
