Compact Retro Hornet Reimagined by Tamtech Gear

The Tamiya 56702 Tamtech Gear Hornet revives the spirit of the original Hornet in a tidy 1/16 scale package. It pairs vintage styling with practical engineering so pilots can enjoy a classic look without sacrificing basic performance or tunability.

Lightweight Chassis with Responsive Suspension

This Tamtech Gear Hornet keeps the recognizable black and yellow livery and sits on a lightweight 2WD frame fitted with a 4-wheel independent friction-damped suspension. The inclusion of full ball bearings and an adjustable slipper clutch helps keep the drivetrain efficient and smooth.

Dependable Electronics and Control

The car runs from a 370-size electric motor driving the rear wheels and includes a compact ESC, receiver and servo, all managed by a 2-channel wheel-style transmitter. That configuration gives predictable throttle response and good on-track control for casual racing or practice sessions.

Build and Tuning Options

Owners can explore a range of optional parts to boost power or refine handling, making the model a good match for newcomers learning upgrades and veterans working on small-scale tuning projects.

Tamiya 56702 Tamtech Gear Hornet is an approachable mini buggy that fits both display shelves and weekly track sessions, with easy upgrade paths for hobbyists who like to tinker.

Its straightforward layout makes it suitable for beginners, while its upgrade potential keeps experienced modellers interested.
The 4-wheel independent suspension handles short grass and uneven surfaces, though tightly packed turf can slow the car compared to harder tracks.
Tamiya has good parts support and many common upgrade pieces are available through hobby stores and online suppliers.
The 370 motor is efficient for its size and paired with the right battery it offers solid run times for casual sessions.
