I wish the Hornet was my first kit, but got am MRC Pro-10 instead for Christmas. That car was a pain for parts locally compared to Tamiya and Associated. I bought a used Frog from my local hobby store that had many CRP upgrades that I later installed on my new Blackfoot.
Since it doesn't come with proper bearings fitted I'm going to buy a kit instead. If it came as a kit with a painted shell then I would be happy as I really don't like the painting it part, just the building it part.
Even with all the modern high performance brushless buggies and trucks, The classic Tamiya Buggies and trucks from the 8o's score equally high marks I'm the "cool factor" department.
My only wish for these XSA kits is that Tamiya should have gone the extra mile and re-acquired the licenses for the real world sponsors that were on the original release. The genericised and parody logos on the re-issue just don't hold a candle to the real logos.

You could never go wrong with a Hornet. Liked and Subbed
Omg the hornet was my first ever RC, man I loved it so much.
Great video,I just got mine built and the Hornet RC is amazing, thanks for the video!
Awesome video excellent buggy I’ve always liked them they were top of the line and to expensive when I was a kid but definitely wanted one
Yeah, I wanted all the Tamya kits way back then. Man I miss the 80s lol
I have both the new kit version and the XSA. I love this car.
Tamiya! not tamaya LOL ... ..never had the hornet..but when i was a child i want it..and now i ordered one ,almost 40 years later
Just got a pre built lunchbox this looks awesome too
So it's same size ?looks a lot smaller wheels and tires .
This was my first rc too.
Great looking car.
I wonder what their expert secret is for putting on those side decals on.
I know right lol
RC-10 the best,I have 3 vintage gold pans a re-relase RC-10 world's addition.
I have check out the Hornet more than ones that really cool to have something that long I have just a couple Thangs from my childhood
Ampro engineering has great videos on mods and 3-d printed parts
RC10 AAAANY DAY LOL. They are both badass tho for sure!
I agree bro!
My first one was the Monster Beetle kit.
Oh yeah, that’s a classic
Have a grasshopper and the Black edition grasshopper 2.
Did they ever make the hornet with a hard shell body?
Not that I know of 🤔
That was the Super Hornet
Since it doesn't come with proper bearings fitted I'm going to buy a kit instead. If it came as a kit with a painted shell then I would be happy as I really don't like the painting it part, just the building it part.
Yeah, that’s a good point 🤙

I had a B3.
How many of us had a Hornet as our first RC I wonder?? A lot it seems. Jealous!
Yeah, the Hornet is responsible for lots of RC addicts lol
My only wish for these XSA kits is that Tamiya should have gone the extra mile and re-acquired the licenses for the real world sponsors that were on the original release. The genericised and parody logos on the re-issue just don't hold a candle to the real logos.
Doesn't come with ball bearings either.
I think they are bushings
@@theRCelement Damn. That is just what I feared. So much for "expert" build eh? Experts put in proper bearings from the start.
I have videos of my hornet running.
I have a hornet.
Please no shelf queens.
Why don’t they just sell them ready to go
Yeah they should sell a rtr huh 🤔. I think they did at one point
They do in Japan. I just bought one. Its the expert built model ready to run
