Tamiya 1/10 WR-02CB Comical Hornet 2WD Electric Off Road RC Buggy Kit

Catch the Buzz Again!

The original Hornet needs little introduction. It was a Tamiya legend which inspired legions of fans since the 1980s. For many, it was their very first introduction into the world of radio control assembly kits. The original Hornet is still among TamiyaΓÇÖs best-selling kits to this day. Now the legend is re-imagined as the Comical Hornet, with a new body inspired by the famous original. The re-imagined body, which includes a newly designed driver figure, sits on a new and dedicated variant of the proven off-road chassis: the WR-02CB.

WR-02CB Chassis - Great Fun Awaits!

The WR-02CB chassis is an exciting chassis at home on- and off-road, providing smooth driving and the potential for exciting wheelies! It features a pre-assembled gearbox with motor already attached to save hassle in the assembly process. Long suspension arms and CVA oil dampers make for excellent off-road performance, while underguard and side guards give great protection. A rear wheelie bar helps support the model when it leans back, maintaining a fun wheels-in-the air stance as the model plunges forward. Green and white 2-piece wheels are joined by bubble tyres (front: ribbed, rear: round block) for a fun look and drive.

Our designers have come up with this comical version of the classic Hornet body, infused with charm.

This rear view of the model shows off the trademark Hornet rear wing, plus the chunky, comical bubble tyres.

A wheelie bar on the rear of the chassis helps the Comical Hornet maintain exciting 2-wheel action.

The slimline WR-02CB monocoque has its motor in the center with gears routing power to the rear wheels.
