Tamiya 1/10 R/C Hornet EVO 57842

This R/C model assembly kit is an updated version of The Hornet, the original of which was first released in 1984. Length: 430mm, width: 230mm, height: 135mm. The kit largely keeps the original Hornet’s bathtub frame and pairs it with 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and oil dampers. It also has a sealed rear gearbox for excellent off-road dust proofing with a built-in 3-bevel differential gear for smooth cornering. Three-piece assembly wheels are paired with front ribbed and rear high-grip spike tires. Decorate the lightweight and durable polycarbonate body with the included stickers that cover the orange and yellow color scheme, logos and car numbers.

●This lightweight, well-balanced chassis has a slim ABS plastic bathtub frame with the R/C equipment atop the longitudinal battery pack in the lower center. ●4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs front and rear CVA oil dampers and turnbuckle shafts in the upper arms for adjustable camber angle and lively off-road performance. ●Its rear-wheel drive setup uses a sealed gearbox with differential gear and a rear-mounted motor, plus reliable dogbone type driveshafts and full ball bearings. ●The model is compatible with various Hop-Up Options.

The year 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the original release of the iconic Hornet off-road buggy! To celebrate the milestone, Tamiyas designers have cooked up a fun variant that is sure to please new hobbyists and veteran hobbyists alike!
