Vintage Hornet Style With Practical Mechanics

The Tamiya Hornet 58336 reissues a defining 2WD buggy that helped shape off-road RC in the 1980s. This version keeps the attractive retro profile while presenting a practical, serviceable platform for hobbyists and collectors.

Designed for Everyday Off-Road Use

The Hornet's lightweight ABS bathtub chassis and sealed gearbox make it suitable for varied running conditions. It is engineered to be resilient while keeping maintenance straightforward between sessions.

Smooth Handling From a Simple Setup

The car pairs an independent front end with a solid rear axle and oil-filled rear dampers to achieve stable, predictable handling. This arrangement gives drivers confidence on mixed surfaces and keeps tuning simple.

Authentic Motor and Drivetrain Layout

Featuring a 540-brushed type motor, the Hornet delivers the classic speed and feel expected from this model. The solid axle drivetrain and friction dampers support stable traction and make servicing routine items uncomplicated.

arrived on time and well packed thank you
Yes, the Hornet's authentic looks and classic layout make it appealing to collectors, while its usable mechanics allow it to be run without risking rare originals.
Most compact modern 2-channel receivers and servos will fit, but check mounting and battery space when planning an electronics fit to ensure tidy installation.
Regular checks of gearbox seals, drivetrain lubrication and suspension condition will keep the Hornet running well; clean debris after off-road sessions to prevent wear.
Yes, hobbyists commonly fit improved dampers for finer control. Upgrading should be chosen to match the car's original geometry for best handling results.
