Hornet Black Metallic - Nostalgic 1/10 XB RTR

The Tamiya 84384 - 1/10 RC XB RTR The Hornet Black Metallic - revisits the Hornet profile with a deep black finish and a ready-to-run electronics package. It keeps the original charm while offering a straightforward platform for casual track days or display.

Style and Chassis Notes

The model includes a painted driver figure and black alloy-look wheels to match the metallic shell. The chassis mixes an independent front end with a rear solid axle to preserve the Hornet's predictable cornering and traction behaviour.

A 540-brushed motor drives the model through a TEU-105BK ESC and a sealed rear gearbox, helping protect internal gears from grit and debris during outdoor use.

Control, Upgrades and Maintenance

The Finespec 2.4GHz radio is installed at the factory for hassle-free operation. While the standard gearing keeps things simple, owners can explore upgrades such as stronger shocks or different tyres to tailor handling to local surfaces.

Setup is straightforward: charge a compatible battery, install it in the tray, bind or check the radio link and fit the body if necessary. You should be ready to run within minutes.
The plastic chassis is durable for casual and light club use, though frequent hard impacts may benefit from reinforced components or aluminium hop-ups.
Upgrading to oil-filled shocks, fitting grippier tyres and ensuring the gearbox is clean and lubricated will noticeably improve handling and durability.
