Tamiya The Hornet – 1/10 RC Buggy Kit (58336)

The classic is back – build your own legendary off-road buggy!

Tamiya The Hornet is a true legend in the world of remote-controlled cars, and this re-release brings the classic 1984 2WD buggy back to life. Known for its high speed, durability, and fun driving characteristics, the Hornet is perfect for both on-road and off-road terrain.

With a lightweight ABS bathtub chassis, oil-filled rear dampers, and a powerful 540 motor, the Hornet handles rough surfaces with ease. The sealed rear gearbox protects the differential, while the spiked buggy rear tires ensure maximum grip on gravel and dirt.

This kit is perfect for both nostalgic fans and new RC enthusiasts who want to experience genuine 80s RC magic combined with modern performance!
