[Aero performance that uses the wind to your advantage]
This is a plastic model assembly kit of a four-wheel drive racer that is fun to race with its high-performance driving. The second machine in the notable Mini 4WD REV series, the Aero Thunder Shot, has been refined in aerodynamics from the body to the chassis. The body is a redesign of the popular Thunder Shot form, which is popular in both RC and Mini 4WD models. It has inherited the unique form, such as the large forward-moving canopy and the side stays of the rear wing that are integrated with the body, and is composed of even smoother surfaces. In addition, openings have been provided in the front and rear of the canopy and in the side pontoons, etc., to actively cool the battery and motor using the wind while driving. Also, a barge board has been installed behind the inside of the front wheels to emphasize the aerodynamic feel. The rear wing is a three-stage type.

[The lineage of the Thunder Shot]
The Thunder Shot Jr. is a racer mini 4WD based on the Thunder Shot, an electric RC/4WD racing buggy that has been popular with RC fans for its high basic performance. It features a large canopy and a compact bullet-shaped form with low air resistance, with the rear wing end plates integrated into the body. The Aero Thunder Shot inherits this bullet-shaped form and is designed to make the most of air flow to cool each part.

[Features a low body and large tires]
The body is kept low overall, giving the impression of low air resistance. In addition, large-diameter barrel tires are fitted to large-diameter lightweight wheels with a sharp 5-spoke design. The barrel-shaped barrel tires have a small contact area with the road surface, and because they are large in diameter, they achieve a top speed that is easy to extend. They are effective on high-speed circuits with long straights.
