Classic Hornet Black Metallic - RTR 2WD Buggy

The Tamiya 84384 - 1/10 RC XB RTR The Hornet Black Metallic - combines the look of the original Hornet with an out-of-the-box ready setup. Its black metallic shell and compact chassis make it easy to transport and enjoyable to drive at local spots or club tracks.

Built Details and Ride

Included is a painted driver figure and black wheels that suit the body finish. The suspension layout uses an independent front end and a solid axle at the rear to deliver reliable handling across mixed surfaces.

Under the body a 540-brushed motor works with the TEU-105BK ESC to power the sealed rear gearbox, which helps keep dirt out of the drivetrain during off-road sessions.

Electronics and Driveline

The pre-installed Finespec 2.4GHz radio makes setup quick, and the straightforward gearing keeps maintenance to a minimum. Those wanting higher top speed or different response can consider motor or gearing upgrades with care for compatibility.

Tamiya 84384 The Hornet Black Metallic RTR is a strong option for hobbyists seeking a low-fuss classic buggy that is easy to run and maintain while retaining authentic Hornet styling.

Choose tyres with larger lugs and softer compounds for sandy or loose dirt to improve bite and reduce wheel spin.
A brushless conversion is possible, but you will need a compatible ESC, suitable pinion/spur gearing and possibly space or mount adjustments.
The sealed rear gearbox already helps, but fitting additional chassis guards or avoiding deep puddles will extend service intervals.
Spare bushings and common wear parts are available from hobby shops and online parts distributors compatible with Tamiya models.
Yes, the Black Metallic finish and authentic styling make this model appealing to collectors who also want a driveable example.
