The Tamiya Hornet 58336 marks a faithful return of one of the most influential 2WD buggies from the 1980s. First seen in 1984, the Hornet helped define off-road buggy culture and this release preserves its classic looks while refining handling for contemporary hobby use.
Built to handle a mix of surfaces, the Hornet is at home on dirt loops and smoother paved areas alike. The ABS resin bathtub chassis gives toughness without excess weight, while the sealed gearbox keeps the differential gears protected for cleaner runs after rough sessions.
Tamiya engineering shows in the Hornet's layout. The independent front suspension combined with a solid axle rear and oil-filled rear dampers produces predictable handling and a forgiving ride, suitable for newcomers and vintage-model fans wanting reliable control.
Powered by a 540-class brushed motor, the Hornet delivers the characteristic punch expected from its era while remaining straightforward to service. The simple solid axle drivetrain and friction dampers add mechanical stability, and the clear polycarbonate body takes impacts well during bumpy runs.
Tamiya 58336 Hornet is a pleasing blend of retro character and usable performance, ideal for collectors and club racers who want a straightforward, fun 2WD buggy.
