Hornet Heritage Meets Everyday Off-Road Use

The Tamiya Hornet 58336 revives a landmark 2WD buggy design with period styling and practical usability. Its 1984 roots are clear in the look and layout, but the package suits modern hobbyists who enjoy hands-on builds and club sessions.

Capable Across Different Surfaces

Whether pushing around a local track or cruising on hard-packed trails, the Hornet's ABS bathtub chassis and sealed gearbox offer a good blend of durability and maintenance ease for active running.

Suspension and On-Track Behaviour

The independent front suspension with a solid axle in the rear and oil-filled rear dampers gives balanced handling that is forgiving yet engaging. This setup is easy to tune and keeps the car stable through corners and over small jumps.

Drive System and Motor Notes

Equipped with a 540-class brushed motor, the Hornet provides approachable acceleration and is simple to service. The solid axle drivetrain and friction dampers contribute to a composed ride during spirited off-road outings.

arrived on time and well packed thank you
Yes, many hobbyists fit a brushless motor and compatible ESC, but you will need to confirm space and adjust gearing to match the new powertrain.
The kit lists a 7.2V pack as required. For longer sessions, choose a quality 7.2V NiMH with good capacity or consult upgrade options if converting to LiPo with the right electronics.
The clear polycarbonate body is resilient to impacts and can be trimmed and reinforced where needed; it is well suited to regular off-road use with basic care.
Yes, common replacement tyres and hop-up dampers are available through hobby shops and parts suppliers to refresh grip and ride quality when needed.
