Tamiya RC 1/10 The Hornet 2004 Re-Release Off-Road Buggy Kit - Assembly Kit

One of the most influential RC vehicles ever made returns with the Tamiya RC 1/10 The Hornet 2004, a faithful re-release of the revolutionary 1984 original that helped launch the worldwide 2WD off-road buggy craze. Just like the classic original, this re-release pairs a durable yet lightweight ABS resin bathtub frame with a diff-gear-loaded sealed gearbox, oil-filled rear dampers, and a powerful RS-540 motor for reliable performance on both dirt and on-road tracks.

Please note this is an unassembled kit requiring assembly; it ships as a build-it-yourself kit and does not arrive pre-built or ready to run.

An independent swing axle front suspension with friction dampers pairs with a rolling rigid rear axle and oil-filled dampers for confident handling on varied terrain. Original 3-piece assembly wheels are compatible with optional ball bearings, and straight ribbed front tyres combine with spiked rear buggy tyres for excellent grip. The shock-absorbent polycarbonate body shell and reinforced resin bumper stand up to rough handling, making this an ideal pick for returning fans and first-time builders alike.
