Scaled-Down Hornet Fun

The Tamiya 56716 - 1/12 TamTech-Gear The Hornet Mini (GB-01S) offers the charm of the original Hornet in a compact 1/12 scale. It keeps the nostalgic profile while making the platform easier to run and store.

Heritage meets modern handling

Keeping true to the Hornet's reputation, the mini retains confident off-road manners. The 2WD drivetrain gives responsive steering and steady acceleration, suited to garden circuits and local club tracks.

Durable GB-01S chassis build

The GB-01S chassis balances lightweight behaviour with structural strength. Its suspension soaks up routine impacts and the electric powertrain keeps maintenance simple compared to fuel options.

Suitable for workshop and display

Builders new to the hobby will appreciate a clear assembly process, while experienced hobbyists can tune handling or personalise aesthetics. The model also serves as a compact display piece for classic RC fans.
