Tamiya 56716 Hornet Mini 1/12 TamTech-Gear Kit  [56716]

Mini Hornet with Classic Attitude

The Tamiya 56716 - 1/12 TamTech-Gear The Hornet Mini (GB-01S) shrinks the classic Hornet into an accessible 1/12 scale package. This kit keeps the iconic silhouette while offering a smaller, friendlier footprint for hobby spaces and track days.

Off-road roots retained

The Hornet lineage is built on reliable off-road handling, and the mini continues that tradition. The 2WD setup delivers nimble cornering and enough traction to tackle loose surfaces and short grass circuits.

Chassis and ride characteristics

The GB-01S chassis focuses on a light but sturdy layout that aids manoeuvrability. With forgiving suspension travel and an electric motor, the model is simple to maintain and enjoyable for longer driving sessions.

Appeals to builders and collectors

Newcomers will find the build process rewarding, while experienced tuners can refine the setup for speed or stability. Collectors will appreciate the scaled-down homage to a beloved classic.

Tamiya 56716 Hornet Mini suits a wide range of RC fans who want a nostalgic look in a practical, easy-to-run electric buggy.
