Hornet Heritage Meets Small-Scale Performance

The Tamiya 56702 Tamtech Gear Hornet captures the charm of the original Hornet in a compact 1/16 scale. It combines classic styling cues with a chassis designed for lively handling and straightforward maintenance.

Balanced Setup for Casual Off-Roading

With its distinctive black and yellow body, this Tamtech Gear Hornet runs on a lightweight 2WD platform featuring a 4-wheel independent friction-damped suspension. Full ball bearings and an adjustable slipper clutch contribute to consistent drivetrain performance.

Compact Electronics for Reliable Control

Equipped with a 370-size electric motor and a rear-wheel drivetrain, the package includes a compact ESC, receiver and servo controlled via a 2-channel wheel transmitter. That combination gives predictable steering and throttle feel for everyday use.

Scope for Personalisation

Hobbyists can fit a variety of optional parts to alter speed, grip and durability, making the Hornet a versatile base for small-scale upgrades or cosmetic customising.

The Tamiya 56702 Tamtech Gear Hornet is a compact, user-friendly buggy that works well for weekend runs and as a fun project to personalise with upgrades.

Basic modelling tools like hex drivers, pliers and a hobby knife are sufficient for assembly and routine maintenance.
Soft-compound tyres with a mixed tread work well on loose dirt and grass, while medium compounds are better for harder-packed tracks.
Its small size and straightforward setup make it suitable for informal club events, though competitive classes may require class-specific tuning and upgrades.
Inspect bearings and the slipper clutch regularly after rough runs, and clean or replace worn parts to maintain smooth operation.
