Tamiya's 58336 The Hornet is a 1/10 scale 2WD off-road RC buggy kit that recreates one of the most iconic Tamiya models of the 1980s. Sold as a build-it-yourself kit rather than a ready-to-run vehicle, The Hornet requires assembly before use, making it a rewarding project for modellers and RC enthusiasts who enjoy the building process as much as the driving. Once complete, this radio control buggy is suited to loose dirt, grass, and general off-road bashing, delivering the kind of lightweight, nimble performance the original was known for.
