The year was 1987. I got my second ever hobby grade r/c, the Tamiya Thunder Shot for Christmas. This is of course a re-release, but the CD is original, received the same Christmas. Jammed it with my cousins while we built the T Shot. Raced it hard and lost a lot before getting my TQ10, which I also lost a lot with. And I can finally put the rumors to rest. Yes, it does have Hyper Cam engineering.

I started with an ORIGINAL AE Graphite chassis, and built up from there to have a 'modernized' durable racer.

13mm Kashima Fox shocks, 3.5mm ball cups & Titanium turnbuckles, B6 rear wing mount, JC Racing Retro case with a B6 gear diff, Factory Works steering kit, Dragon Punch RC shorty Lipo mount & Carbon towers, & all Titanium/Aluminum hardware.

Thanks for looking!

CPE Brushless Clodbuster

Picked up this as a partial slider and pieced it back together, mostly when parts that I already had.

A stamp, modified for inline battery, DS servo saver, Factory Works towers and transmission brace, and Tamiya turnbuckles (weird, right?).

Body is a JConcepts Protector with reproduction Cox Bandido wing. Wheels and tires are JConcepts as well.

Electronics consist of Novak esc and receiver, Royal Titan mini servo, and a Reedy stock motor.

Nothing compares to Hypercam (except Spacetech engineering for sure)

Wow, that is a huge steering linkage! The steering servo that far back is really wild. I guess that's where there's room and then weight balancing, etc.

Ya. The worst is that is actually the third body i bought for the car as the others were just too low to clear. I still ended up having to cut out the back window to clear. i really didnt want to go with a mini cooper style body.

If it seems slow, try installing a pinion gear I have one on all of my cars.

that old motor on my dyno with a full 2s lipo spins 87k rpm, the air off the motor shaft alone makes it faster than it needs to be.
