About this product

Tamiya 58336 – The Hornet (2004 Re-Release) 1/10 2WD Off-Road Buggy The Tamiya Hornet (58336) is one of the most legendary R/C buggies ever made. First released in 1984, it helped ignite the global boom in 2WD off-road racing and became one of Tamiya’s best-selling kits of all time. This 2004 re-release preserves the classic look and driving feel while adding modern reliability and an ESC for smoother control. The Hornet’s lightweight ABS bathtub chassis keeps things simple, durable, and beginner-friendly. Its sealed rear gearbox protects the differential during off-road running, while the combination of independent swing-axle front suspension and rolling rigid rear suspension with oil-filled dampers gives the buggy its iconic bouncy, playful handling. The included 540 motor delivers plenty of speed for dirt tracks, gravel, and backyard fun. The polycarbonate body shell stays true to the original Hornet design, complete with ribbed front tires, spiked rear tires, and the classic three-piece wheels. Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or discovering a true R/C icon for the first time, the Hornet remains one of the most enjoyable and accessible buggies ever produced.
