Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic 1/10 2WD Buggy Kit  [84383]

Classic Return: Tamiya 84383 Hornet in Black Metallic

The Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic edition brings a beloved 1/10 scale design back with updated protection and a glossy metallic finish. Celebrating three decades of Hornet heritage, this kit blends retro styling with practical upgrades for hobbyists and weekend racers.

Rugged Construction for Trail and Track

The model uses a sturdy plastic bathtub chassis with integrated side bumpers to resist impacts. Up front the independent swing axle layout and at the rear a rolling rigid axle design provide predictable handling, while a mix of friction and oil-filled dampers helps the buggy soak up rough ground and jumps.

Drive Setup and Powertrain Details

The Hornet runs on a classic 540-brushed motor and includes an ESC rated for both brushed and brushless setups. Power is delivered through a solid axle and gear differential for consistent traction, while black plastic wheels fitted with pin spike rubber tyres help retain grip across loose surfaces.

With a mix of nostalgic looks and a durable layout, the Tamiya 84383 Hornet Black Metallic suits collectors and off-road enthusiasts who want a straightforward, serviceable kit that performs on bumpy terrain.
