The Tamiya Hornet EVO is a 1:10 scale 2WD off-road buggy kit that modernizes the classic 1980s Hornet. It comes with full ball bearings, a 540-size brushed motor and an included ESC, so you add your own radio, servo, battery and charger. The gear differential and ribbed front tires keep it simple and durable for dirt and light off-road running. At $166.59 at Bay Shore Hobbies & Toys as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range across the five stores that list it new.

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.
