The legendary Tamiya Hornet is back and better than ever! This 40th Anniversary Edition of the iconic 2WD buggy features upgraded suspension for improved off-road performance. The Hornet retains its classic bathtub-type frame but now boasts a double wishbone 4-wheel independent suspension with oil dampers for a smooth and agile ride. With the sealed gearbox keeping out dirt and debris, the built-in 3-bevel gear differential ensures smooth cornering. The Hornet comes with grooved front tyres and high-grip spike rear tyres for excellent traction on any terrain. The lightweight polycarbonate body features special 40th Anniversary decals with an orange and yellow fire pattern. The Hornet has evolved into its ultimate form and is ready for you to build and tackle anything.
