The Thunder Tiger is 1/12th scale, listed at $219... 380 motor. They have a video that shows it in action, looks quite capable - runs completely submerged at one point. Personally, I'm not interested in 1/12th though - I'd prefer a MSX, Deadbolt or the upcoming HPI even at $60-$90 more. Last edited by durok; 08-12-2017 at 07:11 AM. |

| Thunder Tiger anybody They need to, but the classic Toyota lines look better to me. 1st gen Tacos and older are the best looking Yoders to me. I'm more interested in what's below the throw away cheap body of the Thunder Tiger. The lines of it look 'off' a little and it resembles a cheap copy. It's got a little bit of the old Datsun shape to it. Any one of the classic Land Cruisers from the 70 series Pigs down to the old J20 would have been better, IMO. Or please the new generation owners and use the current square fendered Tacomas. Last edited by Brake Weight; 08-12-2017 at 07:14 AM. |

| Re: Thunder Tiger anybody https://youtu.be/pecdIy99HGc the video... It looks really small, but I already wouldn't know how a 1/12th crawler should look, looks smaller than the barrage |

It looks small but is supposed to. I can deal with that to be able to use static model bodies as long as the rest of it is a solid platform. Is it just me, or is the rear bumper crooked in every shot from the rear? |

with that length it might actually fit under a Marui Big Bear shell giving one of the rare ways to make a Nissan/Datsun 720 pickup scaler...

| Re: Thunder Tiger anybody I could happily go with a nice Bronco II or smaller Ranger from the late 80's, a larger then cc-01 square headlight wrangler or older cj, older dodges, nissan/datsun trucks or a pathfinder... or any of the endless of possibilities of truck that is not a Jeep JK based or a Toyota. Variety makes nice blog photos ;)

If only Tamiya would build a proper scaler Chassis that would fit under the Brat/ Ranger/ Midnight Pumpkin/Lunchbox shells. Also rework those bodies & the Isuzu Mu/ Amigo, or Pajero to better accept lights & such.

^^^ Agreed, except for me the strong urge come over me when I look at Lowride Pumpkin bodies - I don't care for the bed design of the Midnight version, with the protruding boxes and rollbar.
