Tamiya Hornet & 80s Childhood Dreams

This is the Tamiya Hornet re-release, a 1/10 scale buggy kit that comes with a motor and body - you supply the electronics and paint. It's Tamiya's second-cheapest kit, after the Grasshopper, and this thing has a heritage of 4 decades!

Join me for a look at this legendary backyard bandit...er, basher, as we look at what's stood the test of time, what's been left behind, and why it may not even really matter in the end.

Let's do it!
