Black Metallic Hornet - Retro Buggy with Modern Radio

Tamiya 84384 - the 1/10 XB RTR The Hornet Black Metallic - updates the classic Hornet look with a deep black finish and an RTR layout that gets you driving quickly. The package balances nostalgic styling with practical, low-effort ownership.

Layout and Visual Features

The model arrives with a painted driver figure and matching black rims that enhance the metal-look shell. Structural design pairs independent front suspension with a rear solid axle to keep the Hornet predictable over rough ground.

Drive is supplied by a 540-brushed motor controlled by the TEU-105BK ESC, while the gearbox at the rear is sealed to reduce contamination and prolong gear life during off-road outings.

Performance and Electronics Overview

The pre-installed Finespec 2.4GHz radio system ensures quick setup and solid control. Since many drivetrain parts are fixed, the Hornet is best for pilots who favour dependable performance and minimal tuning over constant modification.

Regularly clean the gearbox, check bushings and re-lubricate gears after dusty runs to keep the drivetrain operating smoothly.
Upgrading to oil-filled shocks or stiffer dampers will improve handling, but may need small modifications to mounts or shock length.
