Retro-Revived Tamiya 58742 Hornet Evo 1/10 Off-Road Kit  [58742]

Tamiya Hornet 58742 celebrates 40 years with a modern twist

Four decades after its launch, the Tamiya Hornet returns in a 40th Anniversary edition that blends the original character with practical upgrades. This release keeps the vintage appeal while making the model more robust and easier to run for hobbyists at all levels.

Classic bodywork matched with contemporary detail

The Hornet's silhouette remains true to the original, reproduced in 0.7mm polycarbonate to mirror the classic lines. The refreshed decal set keeps the retro tone while giving the shell a cleaner, updated appearance that stands out on the trail.

Updated drivetrain and suspension for dependable bashing

Beneath the body the 2WD bathtub chassis is familiar, but the sealed rear gearbox derived from the DT-02 improves durability for off-road use. Independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers on both axles deliver controlled handling across rough ground, making this edition enjoyable on loose surfaces.

Whether you want a display piece or a weekend bashing machine, the Tamiya Hornet 58742 anniversary kit offers a satisfying build and solid off-road performance that honors the original while addressing everyday use.
