Among RC fans, the Hornet name carries strong nostalgia and the Comical Hornet 58666 renews that legacy with careful updates. This Tamiya reissue keeps the playful silhouette of the original while using the WR-02 chassis to modernise fit and function, making it a rewarding build for fans and collectors.
The model rides on a reinforced WR-02 monocoque frame with an inline battery layout that helps centralise mass. Double wishbone suspension and a 2-piece steering tie-rod improve steering precision so the kit behaves predictably over bumps and during wheelies.
The Comical Hornet honours the original styling with a polycarbonate shell and sticker sheet that echoes period graphics. Two-piece orange and white wheels with bubble tyres provide traction on mixed surfaces, and the headlight cases accept 5mm LEDs for users who want to light it up after dark.
Assembly is engaging for both newcomers and experienced builders, and the included helmeted driver adds charm to the cockpit. Multiple damper mounting positions on the suspension arms let you dial in handling preferences, making the chassis easy to tune for different run conditions.
The Tamiya 58666 Comical Hornet pairs vintage appeal with chassis features that reward careful setup, making it a solid pick for builders who enjoy both scale detail and tunable performance.
