Heritage Model: Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic Edition

The Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic celebrates a long-standing 1/10 scale legacy with a protective metallic body and a build focused on simplicity and longevity. It appeals to those who value classic lines combined with practical, serviceable components.

Durable Layout and Handling Characteristics

The vehicle is built on a durable plastic bathtub chassis with side bumpers to guard against impacts. Front independent swing axles paired with a rolling rigid rear axle and a mix of friction and oil-filled dampers provide predictable, controllable handling over rough ground.

Powertrain and Running Gear Overview

The Hornet is driven by a 540-brushed motor and supplied with an ESC compatible with both brushed and brushless motors. Power goes through a solid axle with a gear differential while black plastic wheels and pin spike rubber tyres give traction across varied surfaces.

Yes, for casual club events the Hornet's predictable handling and durable layout make it a pleasant choice, though racers often make suspension and drivetrain tweaks for competitive lap times.
You will need a radio system, receiver, battery and charger as these are not included. Choose gear that matches the ESC and the space available under the body.
Replacement polycarbonate bodies and spares are generally available through Tamiya dealers; use the kit number to find correct items.
For firmer surfaces consider lower-profile tyres, slight tyre trimming, and tuning shock damping and ride height to reduce roll and improve steering response.
