This year is the 40th anniversary of the original Hornet’s release. To commemorate this anniversary, we are releasing a new version of the Hornet: 1/10 R/C Hornet EVO.

You can see the differences between Items 58336 and this model (58742) in the suspension, rear gearbox, bearing and dampers.

About the Model
This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit.
The 0.7mm thick polycarbonate body has the same shape as the classic body in Item 58336.
The 2WD chassis has the same bathtub frame as the one used in Item 58336.
While the colour scheme of the original Hornet is carried over, this kit features the updated sticker design.
Please note that Item 58336 will remain available.

Tamiya presents yet another classic racing car, this time the Toyota Celica GT-FOUR (ST205), combined with the popular TT-02 chassis.
Toyota developed this high-spec version of the sixth-generation Celica with the aim of repeating the 1994 World Rally Championship successes of the previous year.
It featured curved body lines and a distinctive front end with four differently sized headlights and a 2-litre 4-cylinder DOHC turbocharged engine capable of 255 hp. The 4WD system used a central viscous coupling and a Torsen differential in the rear upper drive.
In addition, 2,100 Japanese models were produced with an arched rear spoiler.
Model information:
– This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 451mm, width: 186mm, height: 134mm. Wheelbase: 257mm.
– The light and strong polycarbonate bodywork, 1mm thick, authentically reproduces the Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST205).
– The model uses the efficient 4WD TT-02 chassis with cardan drive and superior adaptability and great stability.
– A wide range of optional extras allow customisation of the chassis, see published flyer.
– The 10-spoke moulded wheels in Gun Metal colour are matched to radial racing tyres with tread pattern.

The Grasshopper, which first made its debut as a 1/10th scale radio-controlled kit in 1984, now comes as The Grasshopper Jr. in the mini4WD line to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Carried over from the 1/10 R/C kit, this one has The Grasshopper’s streamlined buggy-inspired shape and features a colour scheme with green and red lines on a white base. Don’t miss this chance to get a Tamiya legend paired with the state-of-the-art Mini4WD chassis.

This part is useful for improving the performance and setting of the machine
A set of tires with even less grip than super hard tires and reinforced wheels with carbon fiber. The black colored tires can be installed on the front side to improve the turning ability of the machine, or installed on only the left or right side to cancel out the running resistance caused by the difference in the inner wheel by sliding, or installed only on the rear side to reduce speed when jumping and prevent going off the course. Can be installed on various Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO cars equipped with low-height tires.
Basic specifications
Set of 4 tires and 4 wheels, tire outer diameter 26 mm
Compatible machines
Mini 4WD PRO and Mini 4WD cars with small diameter tires (Some bodies require processing. Because the tires are hard, they are pressed firmly into place.)
