Mini Hornet: Tamtech Gear Edition with Classic Looks

The Tamiya 56702 Tamtech Gear Hornet distils the classic Hornet design into a 1/16 scale model that keeps the familiar silhouette and race-inspired details. It appeals to those who value period styling alongside accessible performance.

Nimble Chassis with Friction-Damped Suspension

This Tamtech Gear Hornet sports the recognisable black and yellow livery and rides on a lightweight 2WD chassis with a 4-wheel independent friction-damped suspension. The fitted full ball bearings and adjustable slipper clutch improve drivetrain feel and responsiveness.

Compact Power Setup for Everyday Running

At its core is a 370-size electric motor driving the rear wheels, paired with a compact ESC, receiver and servo and controlled by a 2-channel wheel transmitter. The arrangement provides steady throttle control and long, enjoyable run sessions.

Aftermarket and Tuning Potential

The model accepts a range of optional upgrades, from motors to suspension parts, allowing owners to tailor performance to personal preferences or local track conditions.
