For long range try a couple of 250mm railguns with iridium ammo.
Heavy drones are limited to 20k but light/medium ones should be able to attack targets that are farther away (depending on your scout drone skill).

I usually run my Thorax with 3 railguns (anti-matter ammo) and 2 smartbombs (for missile defence against nasty Angel rats).
MWD to open the range in a hurry, shield booster to repair any damage, gauss to boost RoF and damage and some cap boosters and relays so you can keep running it.
Has worked for me so far, though admittedly not below 0.1 space nor in PvP!
Destroying a BS? I'm guessing, but probably much the same but without the MWD (you're not going to stay out of BS longgun range)and with more emphasis on shields and armour so you can survive his hits.
Alternatively, play to the Thorax's strength and go for a knifefight with 5 short-range blasters and 8 heavy drones! Okay, your chance of dying might be high, but if you were worried about that you wouldn't be going up against a BS in a Thorax, right? :-)

This is it. Try for 5 M blasters if you can, but settle for 4 good ones (use loot blasters) and damage mods in low slots. you'll need to be part of a pack to do this though, as any BS captain worth crap can kill a Thorax if it comes at him alone.

Cool, congrats.
Oh, stupid idea by the way.

Good luck!
Thorax is for mining only. CAP/Power suck bad. After 30 secs you'll be left dry and be blown to bits.
Youre only hope is using a sensor dampener or target inhibitor and send out 8 heavies and may the force be with you

Not to mention it got the agility of a snail.
You want to take down a BS with a thorax... well orbit the BS at 2k. Arm your self with IonCannons and Antimatter. Deploy all your drones and fire away. Prob the BS will be equiped for long range (99% are.. no BS commander want to lose their BS so they eq for long range) and wount be able to hit you at 2k or below 10k for that matter.
But your chances of pulling this of is slim. (So slim that it will snow in hell first i think)
You need to stasis him as well and you only got 3 mid slots on a thorax.. any way your best bet is short short short range.
oh my god they killed -

Only One Battleship in our corp fights at only long range. Every other one can hit you at 2k. I personally have a 4k optimum with a 21k falloff with 800mm Reapeating Artillary. Drones for short range anything i can't track close. You better hope a short range thorax can take out my BS before the wasp and ogres eat him up or my 800mms blast it out the sky. And I can run hardners and shields all day long with my setup and not worry about it. Even with a eWar pal it would be useless because I have +21 anti-jamming and ALL my guns take no more than 15 cap so I am in good shape for my cap to outlast the jammer's cap. Its not the Almighty setup but its enuff to make the other person leave me alone and cruisers to think twice.

Also.
Many BS have launchers, i sometimes use 4 of these, cruise/torps will toast a cruiser.
Even at 2k they will still hit u, yeah i will get some splash dmg, but who cares when i have 5500 shields and loads of armour/hull.
And dont forget, that even the scorp has drone space with some nice ogres .
All i can say, and i think everyone will agree, is the only way u will take out a BS with a thorox), is either if they are sleeping, fitted for mining. or picking it up and dont have any modules fitted .
