Description

Painting Required

This body shell comes completely UNPAINTED and may require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate style paint such as The Tamiya PS series to finish these bodies, as standard paints will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface. If you require paint, we recommend the polycarbonate safe paints.

The Tamiya Hornet is a triumphant return of a true RC legend. This re-release of the revolutionary 1984 buggy captures the spirit of the original while incorporating modern technology and performance enhancements for today's enthusiasts. The Hornet was instrumental in launching a 2WD R/C buggy boom worldwide, and now it's back to inspire a new generation of RC enthusiasts.

The Hornet features a durable and lightweight ABS resin bathtub frame, providing a solid foundation for off-road adventures. The sealed gearbox with a built-in differential gear ensures smooth cornering and protects the internals from dust and dirt, while the oil-filled rear shocks provide excellent damping and control.
