Hornet in Black Metallic - Classic Style with Ready-To-Run Convenience

The Tamiya 84384 is a 1/10 XB RTR The Hornet Black Metallic that brings the original Hornet silhouette into a modern ready-to-run package. With a striking black metallic body and durable construction, this model suits both newcomers wanting an easy entry and experienced drivers after a nostalgic weekend ride.

Key Design and Chassis Details

The kit ships with a pre-painted driver figure and matching black wheels that complement the metal-look finish. The chassis layout features independent front suspension combined with a solid axle at the rear to balance steering feel and traction on uneven ground.

Power comes from a standard 540-brushed motor managed by the TEU-105BK ESC, while the sealed rear gearbox protects the gears and differential from dust and mud during off-road runs.

Who This Model Suits

With the Finespec 2.4GHz R/C system pre-installed, the Tamiya 84384 delivers straightforward control and reliable link-up. The fixed gearing and simple setup favor reliability and low maintenance, making it a good pick for those who prefer driving over constant tuning.
