Placed order for Tamiya Hornet on a Wednesday and arrived on Friday, fantastic service can't wait until you start getting your stock up to normal levels due to lock down but still you have a great selection. Stay safe and will be ordering again from you with out hesitation. Five star service.

Hi, If I buy the Tamiya Hornet Kit with the sports pack does that give me everything I need to use the buggy?
Asked by Chris on 12th August 2017

Yes, with the exception of a can of spray paint for the body. Just choose your colour from https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/c/106/

how fast does this car go?
Asked by Taha on 14th November 2018

With the stock brushed motor, we'd say around 25mph max speed

I am keen to get a Hornet kit to re-live my youth. Does this come with a clear body as well as the hornet body or just the clear body - I am no good at painting!
Asked by Alex Baker on 6th March 2020

These come with the clear bodyshell.

Hello team, if I buy the basic kit (with battery and colours as an extra), do I need anything else? https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/156959/
Asked by Alon Goldin on 13th May 2020

No that should be you up and running (you'll need paint as mentioned)

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Can you clarify what exactly is needed to have an operational car? I mean , is the RC kit and engine included?
Asked by Alon Goldin on 13th May 2020

No - all electronics are required.

Take a look at our combo packs, they include most items you will need :-)

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

If I get the pro package for this car, how fast will it go?
Asked by Oliver on 25th May 2020

Maybe around 25-30 mph or so

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

The Hornet pro kit comes with radio and batteries etc but only one servo, so how does the speed control work or steering as that’s 2 channels ?
Asked by Paul on 31st August 2020

They have an ESC, so only need a steering servo
