Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic Off-Road 1/10 Kit  [84383]

Modern Classic: Tamiya 84383 Hornet in Black Metallic

The Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic updates a timeless 1/10 scale buggy with a tougher finish and the familiar layout that made the Hornet iconic. It balances collectible appeal with a layout geared toward enjoyable off-road running.

Sturdy Frame and Tuned Suspension

A hard-wearing plastic bathtub frame and side bumpers form the backbone of the model, protecting key components. The front uses an independent swing axle while the rear runs a rolling rigid axle, with friction and oil-filled dampers helping control weight transfer over rough ground.

Electrics and Traction Components

The kit comes configured around a 540-brushed motor and an ESC that can handle brushed or brushless types. A solid axle with a gear differential handles power delivery and the black plastic wheels with pin spike rubber tyres provide usable traction on loose and mixed surfaces.

For builders who appreciate period styling with an easy-to-service mechanical layout, the Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic is a dependable choice for casual off-road sessions and restoration projects.
