Description
The Tamiya Hornet EVO marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic off-road buggy with a fresh take that blends classic looks and modern performance. Retaining the unmistakable Hornet silhouette, this 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit arrives with thoughtful EVO upgrades to delight both first-time builders and long-time Tamiya fans. Part number HC-58742.
A tough 2WD bathtub chassis underpins the lightweight 0.7mm polycarbonate body, finished in the familiar Hornet colour scheme with updated stickers.
