The Tamiya Hornet returns in the 57741 RTR form, giving a faithful recreation of the original 2WD buggy with parts suited to everyday running. This model keeps setup simple for quick track time.
The Hornet's bathtub chassis and Type 540 motor make it easy to maintain steady pace and control. Its layout is forgiving and well suited to practice sessions and informal racing.
Front independent swing axle combined with friction dampers provides a traditional steering feel while the rolling rigid axle at the rear uses oil-filled dampers for added traction. The sealed rear gearbox reduces the need for frequent servicing.
The polycarbonate body copies the original Hornet silhouette and stands up to regular use. Wheels are the original three-piece design fitted with straight ribbed fronts and spiked rears for mixed-surface grip, and a reinforced resin bumper helps to absorb impacts.
For fans of classic buggies who want an uncomplicated, hard-wearing 1/10 model, the Tamiya Hornet 57741 combines nostalgic looks with sensible mechanical choices.
