1/10 SCALE R/C THE HORNET by JUN WATANABE

Length: 400 mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

The legendary Hornet gets a dramatic makeover with this Jun Watanabe color scheme that pairs a black-spotted white body with pink tires and purple chassis, bumper and side guard parts. Damper springs in white add a nice flourish to the model, as do other details like the pink 4mm wheel nuts.
 

The Hornet is built around a simple yet robust chassis with an ABS box type frame and durable front swing axle and rear rolling rigid suspension setups. The rear oil dampers give it the muscle to take on tough surfaces, while the gearbox is a sealed design to help keep out dirt and debris; the differential gear inside ensures smooth cornering. Three-piece wheels are employed front and rear, and paired with front grooved and rear pin spike tires. Black tires are also included in the kit.
