Probably one of the most iconic Tamiya cars has been fired into 2024 with the EVO edition! 
Not only that, but kits bought from NEEDABIGGERSHED will include the RMR CNC machined Alloy front skid plate! 

 

This R/C model assembly kit is an updated version of The Hornet, the original of which was first released in 1984. It largely keeps the original bathtub frame and pairs it with 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and oil dampers, while the sealed rear gearbox gives 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, and a lightweight and durable polycarbonate body can be decorated with the included stickers, which have been freshened up on the occasion of The Hornet's 40th birthday.


Smooth 4-Wheel Double Wishbone Suspension.
Hornet EVO. uses a lightweight, superbly balanced chassis based around a slim ABS plastic bathtub with the R/C equipment atop the inline battery pack in the lower centre; its 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension uses upper I arms and lower H arms front and rear, with CVA oil dampers making for smooth motion. Turnbuckle upper arms ensure that you can adjust the camber to meet your needs. The motor is mounted in the rear along with a sealed gearbox, and dog bone design drive shafts give an extra layer of reliability, with full ball bearings ensuring efficient drive.
