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 Doubel 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 center; 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.

Like the front suspension, the rear also employs CVA oil dampers and upper turnbuckle arms. Dog bone type drive shafts are used.

Front three-piece wheels are paired with ribbed tires.
The rear also uses three-piece wheels, but with grippy spike tires.
The slim ABS plastic bathtub frame has the battery mounted low, and accessible from the stopper-fixed battery hatch.
Upgraded flame logos give the Hornet a fresh twist, and the number 40 refers to the fortieth anniversary of this R/C legend. A driver figure is also included.

Two types of wheel hub are in the box, letting you attach various types of Hop-Up Option wheels and tires.
