    About the Hornet EVO
    This R/C model assembly kit is an updated version of The Hornet, the original of which was first released in 1984. Length: 430mm, width: 230mm, height: 135mm. The kit largely keeps the original Hornet’s bathtub frame and pairs it with 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and oil dampers. It also has a sealed rear gearbox for excellent off-road dust proofing with a built-in 3-bevel differential gear for smooth cornering. Three-piece assembly wheels are paired with front ribbed and rear high-grip spike tires. Decorate the lightweight and durable polycarbonate body with the included stickers that cover the orange and yellow color scheme, logos and car numbers.

    • The 0.7mm thick polycarbonate body has the same shape as the classic body from the original Hornet.
