TAMIYA 58742 1/10 RC Hornet EVO.
Scheduled for release in December 2024 – 19,800 yen
This is an upgraded version of the Hornet, which first appeared in 1984 and created a boom in 2WD off-road RC cars, with improved chassis performance. Overall length 430mm, overall width 230mm, overall height 135mm. The basic structure of the bathtub-type frame remains the same, but the suspension has been strengthened. It uses a double wishbone 4-wheel independent suspension equipped with oil dampers. It is equipped with a sealed gearbox that keeps out sand and pebbles that are inevitable when driving off-road. It also has a built-in 3-bevel gear type differential gear that creates smooth cornering. The wheels are three-piece type that can be assembled with a three-dimensional feel on both the front and rear. The front wheels are equipped with grooved tires with excellent directionality, and the rear wheels are equipped with high-grip spike tires. The body is made of lightweight, shock-resistant polycarbonate. Stickers are provided for the orange/yellow fire pattern, logo, and number plate.
●Lightweight and well-balanced chassis configuration: The running battery is placed vertically in a low position in the center of the slim ABS resin bathtub frame, and the RC mechanism is mounted on top of it. Well-balanced and easy to maintain. ●4-wheel independent suspension with high off-road performance: Equipped with CVA oil dampers on both front and rear, double wishbone type with turnbuckle shafts on the upper arms. The camber angle can also be adjusted, allowing for smooth driving even on rough off-road surfaces. ●Simple rear-wheel drive, with the motor set at the rear end in a sealed gear case with a built-in differential gear. The drive shaft is a standard dogbone type, making it highly reliable. ●Full bearing specifications. ●Full range of optional parts: Tuning is also possible by incorporating separately sold parts such as higher performance oil dampers and ball differentials.
