Overview

The revolutionary 1984 2WD off-road buggy is back and more fun than ever before! The Hornet stands as one of Tamiya's most popular R/C cars ever released, helping launch a 2WD R/C buggy boom worldwide. Featuring excellent performance on both dirt and on-road tracks, this awesome buggy can take on any type of terrain. Just like the original, this re-release features an easy to assemble chassis and drivetrain consisting of a durable but lightweight ABS resin bathtub frame, diff gear loaded sealed gearbox, oil filled rear shocks, powerful RS 540 motor and high performance suspension system.

Note

This body shell comes completely UNPAINTED and may or may not 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.

Features

  • Solid bathtub frame with side bumpers
  • High performance Type 540 motor
  • Independent swing axle front suspension with friction shocks
  • Rolling rigid axle rear suspension with oil filled shocks
  • Sealed rear gearbox to protect diff gear during off-road running
  • Original 3-piece assembly wheels compatible with optional ball bearings (sold separately)
