Tamiya 58742 Hornet Evo 1/10 Retro Bashing Kit  [58742]

Hornet 58742 - retro styling with refreshed engineering

The 40th Anniversary Tamiya Hornet brings back the familiar profile with sensible updates that help it cope with modern off-road use. It preserves the model's nostalgic feel while improving serviceability and on-track reliability.

Faithful shell reproduction with updated graphics

The 0.7mm polycarbonate body faithfully recreates the Hornet shape that many hobbyists remember. New sticker artwork keeps the vintage vibe but gives the finished car a tidier, more current look when trimmed and painted.

Chassis tweaks aimed at tougher running

The bathtub 2WD layout remains, now benefitting from a sealed rear gearbox adapted from the DT-02 platform to reduce wear in wet or dusty conditions. Fully independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers on all corners help the Hornet handle uneven surfaces with confidence.

For those after authentic looks and a straightforward, durable kit, the Tamiya Hornet 58742 anniversary release is a solid pick that balances nostalgia with practical improvements.
