The Tamiya Comical Hornet 58666 captures the spirit of the original Hornet while using the WR-02 chassis to improve durability and serviceability. This reworked edition balances classic visuals with chassis layout that supports real-world running and tuning.
The VW-02 style monocoque frame provides a solid foundation and the inline battery slot keeps the centre of gravity low. The combination of double wishbone suspension and a two-piece steering tie-rod helps maintain responsive steering under load.
The polycarbonate shell and period sticker set recreate the iconic look, and the orange/white two-piece wheels with bubble tyres deliver traction on grass, dirt and concrete. Headlight housings accept 5mm LEDs if you want to add illumination.
Construction is engaging and the included driver figure gives the model character. Multiple damper positions let you tune ride height and damping for different surfaces and driving styles.
The Tamiya 58666 Comical Hornet is a fun blend of nostalgia and practical chassis engineering, suited to hobbyists who like to tweak handling and display period charm.
