Great video Glenn!
Jason as you own a bike shop have you ever heard of a UK invented Sinclair C5 from 80's ?!
I have not. DM me some info. I would love to check it out. 90s mountain bikes are where I really started 😂
@@jasonmarkley6164 heres a link and i'll also privately email you some info and pics!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_C5
I'm into bicycles and RC's. I'd never leave that shop if I found it.
Haha me too I could spend a lot of time in that shop! Oh and money 💰
Start there as an intern ;_)
I think AMain hobbies is also under the same ownership as AMain Cyclling.
I'm so happy to see this channel going from strength to strength. I smile each and everytime I watch it not only for the content but how it is so genuinely put over. Much love always from the UK
Thank you for the lovely comment Daniel 😊👊🏻
Nice!
Just found out Pedals is 16 miles away from me. Who would have known. Thanks!!!!
Oh wow that’s awesome, I hope you get to call in and have a look around 😅👊🏻
My two favorite hobbies under one roof what a fantastic idea. Thank you Tamiya Legends for such a fun Saturday morning.
Thank you for watching 🤩👊🏻
I remember seeing those before. I always thought that the flames would be pre-printed on the body and you'd only have little stickers to do. Those huge stickers are going to be a pain to get right. Good luck Glenn, I'm sure you'll do a lovely job!
Haha totally, it does make you wonder why make it so difficult if it’s going to a non rc person 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Thank you 🙏 so much for the shout out Glenn. Hornets have a special place in my collection and I am glad you have that one now 🎉
It’s me thanking you my friend 🤩🤩🤩
Way to go Glenn! It’s refreshing to see unique modern vintage-based model releases like this “Supreme Hornet”, finding their way to your channel. 👍
Thanks buddy 🤩👊🏻
Definitely a different one. Looking forward to seeing it complete.
Cheers buddy 😅👊🏻
Bikes and RC in the same place !!! Heaven.
Great opportunity to introduce people to the hobby! Brilliant kit, my friend. Thank you for the video!
Wow how I wish I had an RC store like that here where I live in Australia. Cheers for providing the car so we can all enjoy the footage Jason!
Yeah it’s the same here for me! Just nothing local at all 🤯🤕🤕
Thanks for the background and perspective. Looking forward to the build.
Thank you for watching my friend 😎👊🏻
Tamiya should have done complete packages like this back in the golden era. It would have saved on the headache of deciding what radio gear to start with.
Yeah the only two vintage rtr kits I can think of was, the Thundershot and Sonic Fighter. Both go for big money now if you can find one 😅
But then the box would of had a $5-600 price tag. RC is so much cheaper these days even without inflation
@@masjuggalo Not in the states it wouldn't have. And your thinking of the high end stuff. It would have come with something basic like what he showed in the video to keep the cost down.
1st time I seen this kit I always loved the hornet. So seeing this kit must say it looks so cool! Can see why this would end up being a collectable kit if it was a limited series. That being said I would get the standard kit so I could run it! Great job
Hey thanks as always for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
I thought it was going to be a TD4 Super Avante when you turned the box around 😂
Haha I’ve done that one already 🤣👊🏻
Great video Glenn. Really good to hear the history behind it and I’m looking forward to seeing the build. There’s just something a big magical about hoppers and hornets for me and this one looks very interesting.
Keep dribbling on! 👍👍
That last bit 🤣👊🏻
Top stuff from your pal Jason 👍 Did not know alot about that kit...now I do.
Thanks buddy 🤩👊🏻
I was lucky enough to have had all the hornet variations on one long shelf,including the tamtech as well as the miniatures at one point, then like we all do I gave up on the collection and sold it all . I bought the supreme as body and wheels and the tyre writing was in yellow 🤔 . Really hope tamiya do another colour variant of the hornet again including different colour plastics. Great to see one in your collection Glenn.
Oh wow I bet that was a sight to behold my friend 🤩🤩🤩
Never heard of it.....
Cheers my friend.
Gauranga 🙏
Excellent thanks as always for clicking Matt 😅👊🏻
Very cool! Love the decals too!
I’m in CA, I hope to visit sometime. Thanks for the great videos. I had a Hot Shot 2 back in the day 😎
Oh wow that would be awesome 😎
Supreme is primarily a street wear clothing company. They're big on limited editions of everything. When their new clothing line comes out for a season it sells out immediately. 90% of what is bought is immediately listed for double or triple retail price on eBay. The entire brand exists to create and foster hype among its fans (15 year old rich kids lol). The people that bought these Supreme Hornets bought them specifically to flip for a profit on eBay.
I love your wall treatment!!,,.,
Oh mate, the ending.. 🤣😂🤣😂
A supreme edition Arrma would sell like crazy especially now when a lot more people are into rc’s!
I almost thought it was a Falcon when the box turned and the colors hit my eyes.
Haha now that definitely wouldn’t of been a controversial kit my friend 🤩🤩🤩
Falcon Hell!
Beauty Grumpy, hope Your weekends good Sheeeeeee.
Got to use the water technique on those huge decals. Good luck!👍😊
Thanks buddy 😅👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Tamiya Club website has a tutorial on how to apply large decals like this with some water and detergent so you can slide them around to get them into position before you squeegee the water out from under the decal to finalize its position.
Cool that's in my hometown on Riverside California by the plaza passed by the place all the time
Brilliant kit 😎. Like the new intro
Thanks Stevo 🤩👊🏻
Looks very cool love the flames like the fact that you get the radio
Yeah definitely a cool thing my friend 🤩👊🏻
Glenn, that's definitely NOT a runner! I wouldn't have one, but that's just me. I'm operating on a genuine shoestring... There's no way a could fathom such A purchase - bearings or not.
(And WHY can't Tamiya FINALLY include Bearings in their Kits!!??) 😠😠😠 I believe ANYONE would pay an extra $5 bucks, to not have to always buy Bearings separately.
I've actually been subbed to you for over 5 years, on my old Channel. Always love your ramblings, builds and amazing stuff! 👍👍
Great video, I was a fan from when it was released I even thought price of $300 wasn’t bad considering the hornet is around $150 and this was packaged with radio gear. Truly just to collect would never run it but could never find one all sold out right away.
Oh interesting I didn’t know they sold out 😎👊🏻
Shout out Otley modelsport ...my fav rc shop ...from a bradford boy
Best rc shop in the uk 🤩
Spent a small fortune with them lol 😂
Never heard of this Hornet 'Supreme' edition. Amazing, love it 👍
Excellent thanks for watching 😎👊🏻
I love the Hornet Supreme Edition I’ve had a couple of them I thought they were pretty cool, maybe not worth the price tag though , but I love the Watanabe hornet the Black edition grasshopper etc. when there freshly built they look superb. Oddly I’ve still got the radio get. Very cool and I could be tempted again in the future . Ace vid
I need the other one now to complete the collection lol 😂
Cheers for the shout out as well fella much appreciated ;)
I'd seen them listed but never knew the history. Enjoyed hearing it Glenn. The history makes it a very cool kit in my opinion.
Fantastic thanks for watching Jon 🤩👊🏻
this is killer. going to be a badass build.
Thank you 😊
If anyone likes the design, MCI Racing does a copy of the sticker set to use on any Hornet.
Fantastic 🤩👊🏻
That's plan B then if the decals go south!😫
Great looking Hornet and awesome model to have in the collection and on display. Loving the dribble, keep it coming! 💯 💪🤘👌👍
Haha thanks Mark 😎👊🏻
I'm excited to see the finished buggy !
😎👍
Me too 🤩👊🏻
I really loved the original Hornet, and the GrassHopper, proper classic models.
It's certainly not my cup of tea Glenn. I had no idea who or what Supreme are, so it was of no interest to me. Funnily enough I thought the Jun Watanabe Hornet was a travesty when it first came out. All these years later....I kinda like it.
Haha isn’t it funny how that works my friend 🤣. It’s happened to me so many times 🙈👊🏻
Supreme is a brand that puts that logo on literally anything they can sell to young people. They even sold a brick with the logo on it. Silly stuff
I want one. Totally missed this. Did get the grey clod though.
Oh that’s awesome 😎
I really like it! Looks great. It's definitely one for the collectors, I can see it appreciating in value. If I owned it I would keep it nib but I totally understand why you are building it and I'm looking forward to seeing it. Good luck with those decals!
Thanks George 😎👊🏻
Great video as always ! Good info !
Thank you 😊
I think ALL Tamiya RC Kits are collectable. I am a Tamiya RC geek and constantly buying the kits that interest me. This kit does peak my interest for sure.
I like it but not sure I’d pay that . Looking forward to your build 👍😊
I had seen this Hornet before but to be honest I thought it was supposed to be a top of the range Hornet 😆
I had no idea it's from a store, always thought it was an all out Tamiya kit for the masses..
Definitely one for the collector but I find myself wanting one also 😁..
Great one for your collection 👌
Yeah it’s definitely a cool thing 😎👊🏻
When you kept saying ready to run, I thought you meant it was already built and painted. I've got a chrome Hornet, that'll do me.
Haha yeah you’re right I shouldn’t of called it a rtr 🙈
Something that always puzzled me is that strange rear wheels suspension the Hornet has, along with the Grasshopper and its sequel. I'd love to hear your opinion on it, how it works (or doesn't work), and why Tamiya would create such a strange type of chassi. There's no real vehicle besides scooters that has the motor mounted to the rear axle like that, and scooters have only two wheels. Come to think of it, it all started with the Grasshopper.
Looks really cool and the box looks beautiful mate 😎😎🏁🏁
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
Very cool! I wish Tamiya would reissue some hard to find parts. I have 2 Falcons that are complete except for that darn speed control resistor.
I honestly think we’ll see the Falcon again 🤔. It’s too big of a cash cow for Tamiya not to release 🤷🏼♂️
I’m also into bicycles and RCs 😂 must be a common combo id love to go in that shop awesome love the states to 👍🚴🤩🏅
Haha thanks for watching my friend 😅👊🏻
Good morning Glen!! Soapy water method for the decals!! It works and I swear by it!! I refuse to do it any other way!! Should look mean with all the flames!! Thanks buddy!! I wonder if MCI does the decals for it…. Have something in mind for the decals!!! 😅
Hey yeah I’m pretty sure he does them 😎👊🏻
A quick search shows em going for anywhere from 350-1500 US dollars.. crazy
Yeah I’m sure no one is buying them at that 🙈
@@TAMIYALegends I’d hope not lol
What a unique bloody cool set✊🏾✊🏾🤙🏿🤙🏿
Hey thanks for watching 🤩👊🏻
I've never seen that one. But I'm not from CA. Considering what Tamiya has done with the Clod, I think it's neat. Like you said, great for collecting. Love the flame look on black.
Thanks as always for watching Kash 😎🤩
In my opinion, the graphics make it much more interesting than the standard Hornet. The box art is classic Tamiya perfection!
Jason is a great guy and his shop is awsome..i got one of my blockhead wild ones from him...good dude..if your in so cal go see him
Soapy water for those decals! Looking forward to seeing it finished. As a shelf queen I really like it. Hate the chassis as a runner though, people always trying to add hop ups to it thinking it will help performance, you can't polish a turd :)
Haha yeah don’t try to improve it lol 😂 it is what it is 😅
Iol yeah makes me laugh when folk waste time and money on hoppers trying to improve them! just leave them alone and enjoy the terrible performance with all smiles😉
I didn't know about this kit I might try to get one.
Fantastic thanks for watching 😎👊🏻
Another great video and review.
And example of Tamiya product placement, I wonder if it was one person in the store (with significant persuasion) who lived Tamiya that ordered that or if Tamiya approached them.
As for your dribble and our liking of it.... well, no comment. 🤣🤣
Haha that last bit 🤣👊🏻
The fierce sting of the Hornet Supreme BURNS (a lot of cash in the walllet ;_)
Haha it certainly does my friend 🤕🤕🤕
Great video Glenn I understand it but i think I will sit on the fence with that one 🤔
Well thanks for watching buddy 😎👊🏻
Hi can you still buy main battery pack to fit original hornet rc cars as I’ve owned one since they first came out many years ago and thought it might be fun for my youngest?
We’ve been gifted many times. I never know how to truly thank those who have donated to us.
I’ve never seen this hornet.. must be a rare one
Yeah it honestly feels that a thank you is never enough 😇🤷🏼♂️
@@TAMIYALegends agreed
I use the Expec GT with my Db01 and Avante…two more boxed sets for other kits ….works s treat 👍
Oh really I didn’t know that Duncan 🤩👊🏻
That's a cool Hornet and have to say never heard of this version. Good luck with the decals as they look tricky. You are right for RC runners pointless over the stock kit.
Hey Glenn is the grey edition clod buster available in your area? It is only available through horizon hobby here in the USA, Supposedly only available in the USA.
No it’s not buddy which is a shame because I’d of bought one 🤕
I seriously need to get up to speed with Tamiya RC. Slowly but surely getting back into it😁
Excellent there’s no rush Mark, I’m still learning all the time 🤓👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends If it wasn’t for Tamiya Legends I still think my original Hotshot that I’ve had since 85, would still be in bits in the loft🙂
Glenn, Thanks for this video. From the perspective of another 1980s kid in the US, north east CT, body art controversy is not Tamiya.
Tamiya’s body box art has always been 💯% awesome, inspirational… & optional.
Tamiya’s guide books celebrated personalized body art as did magazines in the 1980s without judgment.
it's prounced june wa-tan-na-bee and yes the standard hornet kit has a sticker on the box for the ESC good luck with those decals !!
I don't mind The Hornet Supreme, even though it's dumb that guys pay stupid money for em. I think the Super Avante TD4 is kind of offensive to guys who love the original Avante. Everyone gets to buy whatever they want with their own money, and that is that. Thanks for another cool video, Glenn.
Well said my friend 😎👊🏻
In Canada the font used for supreme is the same as the font used by Petrol Canada on their pumps for supreme fuel.
Haha cool 😎
Orange or copper aluminium wheel nut would look awesome
Controversial would be a re-release of the Blazing Blazer or the Toyota Hilux 4x4. The ones that started the multi speed transmissions in RC!👍
I always think more than merrier on the variations of all their kits.
I wonder why, Tamiya did a vintage Hornet for the Supreme brand?
The DT03, TT02b or something in their modern range, mite have been better for the Supreme buyer. Either way, it a cool collectible 😎
Haha that’s actually a fantastic point that I’d not thought of 🤩
Yeah totally why do the Hornet to non rc people 🤔🤩
@@TAMIYALegends easy to answer that question...LOOK AT IT!🤩🤩🤩
Great dribble!!!
Haha thanks buddy 😇👊🏻
Love the Tamiya Hornet, There awesome fun. Tough as nails.
Yeah totally agree it’s a special car from a very special Tamiya timeline 🤩👊🏻
BEAUTY!!
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
That's a verry cool version of the car. I love it more then the Jun Watanabe version. ❤
Excellent thanks for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
I agree and I think it is more of a collector car than anything. Much like the Wantanabe "cow car" is now. When that came out I laughed and thought who in the world would want that thing but now I really want that thing!!! I do like the Supreme version but i could not justify spending that much money on one. Both of those kits are just ones that got away for me and I enjoy seeing them but would not spend the silly money people are trying to sell them for. There are just too many other cool vintage kits to get! I am looking forward to seeing it all done up and I am sure those flame decals are going to be nerve wracking to put on!
Thanks Addam 🤩👊🏻
Short story time. Dribble. Free kit for your collection. ❤it.
Haha thanks Ian 🤩👊🏻
Think I will buy a regular Hornet and buy the decals from MCI. I do like the flames.
But the odd bit I'm not into those true flames on real cars. I'll stick to old Hot Rod style flames for that.
I still have my vintage Hornet I got in early 90s, that has been resting on the shelf for years.
Needs to be taken out after I got hold of some wheels and tires.
And I still want to a neon one like you did a while ago. I love that one!
Haha yeah I’m still loving the neon one I did 😎👊🏻
I didn't know this car until your video. I like the design but I wouldn't pay this money for a decal set, black rims and a radio I don't need. So a rere might be cool.
Thanks for watching 😅👊🏻
Glenn you can buy the decal sheets on MCI so if you weren't bothered about the box a standard hornet and the decals would be exactly the same and much cheaper
Yeah definitely a much cheaper option Lee 😅
It’s very collectable I think because there’s only 12 or so Supreme outlets around the world so there couldn’t have been to many produced. However as you say Glenn it’s only of interest to the true collector. Regardless it’s a great looking colour scheme so it will be fantastic on the shelf.
Oh I thought there were more outlets than that. Ok that’s interesting regarding the quantity that was made then 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Best Dribbler ever, haha Cheers mate from this Aussie in China!
Haha thank you 😊
Like your videos what you think about tamiya tb evaluation limited edition
Absolutely love the original TB Evo 😍😍😍
One day I’ll hopefully find one for the collection 😇
I actually have one I'm thinking about trading for other rc but some people say it's worth keeping I don't know
300 units is very possible, most stores dont get many of the “lifestyle” type items, most supreme items sell for 2x and higher because of the limited quantities
Those didn't sell well here in the states with many of them being sold at or below the cost of a normal hornet. I picked one up for $150. I wanted the Metallic Hornet but this was sitting there for less money so I picked it up. I did find a metallic hornet later for less and bought that. I have seen these posted for sale for $700 and people were buying them.
I still think the JUN Hornet was the most controversial but I still love it.
Buyers of supreme clothing are big collectors of anything supreme, so it makes sense they released it only for supreme fans, the idea that, its part of the supreme brand. Its a cool collab.
Great comment thanks for sharing with us 🤩👊🏻
🔥
Thanks Jason 😎👊🏻
I think it's super cool that they released a special edition Hornet like that
Excellent thanks Darren 😎👊🏻
I have it and it's awsome, easily as collectable as the Watanabe version and more so than the black chrome one but, hardly anyone at the moment has realised that which, is exactly the same as what happened with the Watanabe and soon the black chrome.
I've said it a few times in post on the legends page. This version and the Watanabe are easily the rarest most collectable ones, there's still more vintage cars for sale than either of them.
Fantastic thanks for sharing this with us my friend 🤩👊🏻
I agree. The price is always brought up but if you bought a kit, radio and servo the price is close. So to me the pricing hasn’t hit collectible pricing yet like the Wantanabe.
Take for instance the Supreme & S&M bikes collaboration, they built a Supreme version of their classic Dirtbike BMX, the bike was probably worth all of £1500 if that , but because it had the Supreme name on it it was £2500 , prices soon arose to 5k & higher , think the last 1 I saw for sale was $7500!!!
Let's try that name again Glenn... say it like what-un-are-bee and you are there. :-) The Hornet was my first RC kit when I was young and I was very disappointed. I thought it should have put Tamiya out of business it was so bad to drive and had such poor dynamics. Shows you what I knew. I then had the Fox which was a little bit better. I was then lucky enough to get a Kyosho Salute after doing paper round after paper round and I know we can't compare 4wd and 2wd but just with materials, engineering, and plastics it was leaps and bounds ahead. So much so I still have it.
Haha thank you 🤓👊🏻
Oh and the Salute is just 😍😍😍
That reciver looks identical as some of the futuba recivers.
Hmmm interesting I wonder if it’s made by them 🤔
