Classic Hornet Lines Reimagined

The Comical Hornet 58666 brings back the charm of the original Hornet with contemporary tweaks from Tamiya. Built on the WR-02 chassis, the kit keeps the vintage silhouette while improving layout and serviceability for modern hobby use.

Chassis Features for Tuned Control

The WR-02 monocoque frame and inline battery arrangement help concentrate mass for steadier handling. Double wishbone suspension and a split steering tie-rod enable accurate steering feedback and controlled responses over varied terrain.

Authentic Finish and Lighting Ready

The polycarbonate body and sticker sheet echo the classic look, while orange and white two-piece wheels fitted with bubble tyres offer versatile traction. Headlight housings are supplied to accept 5mm LEDs if you choose to illuminate the model.

Rewarding Build with Adjustment Options

Assembling the kit is enjoyable for builders at different skill levels and the driver figure gives the model personality. Multiple damper mounting options let you fine tune suspension behavior to match track or off-road conditions.

Yes, the layout accepts many aftermarket ESCs and servos, provided you check mounting space and connector compatibility before fitting.
Bubble tyres perform well on grass, loose dirt and tarmac; swapping tyre compounds helps optimise grip for specific surfaces.
Keep the painted shell away from direct sunlight and store it in a cool, dry box with soft packing to prevent scratches and colour fade.
