Hornet Heritage: Tamiya 57741 Reissued

The Hornet name has stood the test of time, and the Tamiya 57741 brings that heritage back in a ready-to-run package. This 1/10 2WD buggy mixes period styling with components that make routine running straightforward for hobby drivers.

Balanced On- and Off-Road Ability

The bathtub-style chassis and Type 540 motor provide a stable platform for mixed-surface use. Whether you are practising on packed dirt or a smooth car park, the Hornet maintains a predictable feel at speed.

Practical Suspension Layout

Front independent swing axle with friction dampers gives direct feedback while the rear rolling rigid axle with oil-filled dampers helps keep traction through corners. The sealed rear gearbox helps prevent grit from affecting performance.

Classic Look with Tough Shell

The polycarbonate body offers authentic Hornet styling and resistance to impacts. The three-piece wheels accept period-correct straight ribbed front tyres and spiked rear tyres for a blend of directional control and rear traction. A reinforced resin bumper protects the chassis front.
