Thunder Tiger Corporation (Chinese: 雷虎科技股份有限公司; pinyin: Léi Hǔ Kējì Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī) is a Taiwan manufacturer of radio controlled models including airplanes, helicopters, cars, boats, accessories and engines.

History

Thunder Tiger Group was founded in Taichung in 1979. In 1997 it was involved in a takeover of ACE R/C corporation in America. Its 1/8 EB4 car was honored as an Offroad Champion of Europe in 1999. It established a marketing center in Germany for Europe in 2004 and was involved in a takeover of Associated in America in 2005.

In 2012, ThunderTiger set up a new company TTBIO CORP in order to provide the Dental Instruments, accessories, machining parts, and components to customers.

Following the widespread use of drones in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the official drone development program was expanded to include non-state owned companies including Thunder Tiger as prime contractors for the first time. The government views drones as a destabilizing technology whose adoption would allow Taiwan to asymmetrically counter the threat from the PLA.
