About 30! gears ago, I bought my first Tamiya car: the Thunder Shot! so now It’s time for a little revival and for my 2nd Tamiya car: the NEO Fighter Buggy! It is a brushed rear wheel drive 1:10 scale buggy
Of course it comes as a kit: https://www.brack.ch/tamiya-buggy-neo-fighter-bausatz-285217
The kit includes:
- all mechanical parts and screws, based on the DT-03 chassis
- rims and tires
- brushed 540 can size „torque tuned“ motor
- oil filled shocks
- TBLE-02 brushed AND brushless ESC
- plastic sleeve bearing bushings (I recommend to use ball bearings instead, 14pcs. are required, see below)
- transparent lexan body and rear wing

These parts are not included:
- paint for the body: Tamiya PS-1 & PS-28
- 5x11x4mm sealed ball bearings: https://www.banggood.com/10pcs-MR115-2RS-5x11x4mm-Ball-Bearings-For-Traxxas-Slash-Rustler-Stampede-Wheel-p-1103832.html?utm_campaign=4828314_1046285&utm_content=1097&p=NZ29024828314201605E

The „Thunder Shot“ I had 30 years ago in Nordic RC Vision’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGaeXSUDsDU

The TBLE-02 ESC is intended for NiMh batteries. The cutoff voltage is much too low for LiPo batteries. So the modification below is required, if you want to use it with LiPo batteries. I have used a 20kOhm 0805 resistor, so the cutoff voltage will be about 7V.
The ESC LiPo cutoff modification: http://laneboysrc.blogspot.ch/2015/08/tamiya-tble-02s-mod-for-lipo-cut-off.html
