Tamiya Hornet Speed Test and Beach Bash. Classic RC buggy. 3421kv Brushless, 2s lipo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Hi all. I was asked how fast my brushless Tamiya Hornet is and I just had to go and find out. This has a 3421kv Absima Thrust brushless set and a 4000mah lipo battery. It was rather difficult to get this up to top speed with the lack of traction and general rubbish handling but I managed eventually.
Thanks to Damian at Dusty Fingers RC for the top tip about adding oil shocks to the front of this. These Grasshopper 2 A arms are a bit wider than the stock ones so you need to make longer steering rods too which he also covers in his video • Tamiya Grasshopper Upg...
As ever thank you for watching. Please like and comment :-)
Ha ha, not only you gave it a good bash in the dirt, but after that you also gave it a verbal thrashing and mentioning other better vehicles! Still great fun, though. 😃
Ha yeah the poor little Hornet got some abuse. It's still a great vintage RC but has its limitations. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍
I love how you edited this video zooming in and out, the spins etc. Your classic comedy always puts a smile on my face Pete. Loved it!! Thanks for the shout out 👍🏼
Hiya Damian. Many thanks my friend. When I first saw the footage I wasn't sure if there was a video there but a bit of sarcastic narration was what was required. Your Grasshopper mods guide was very helpful so was keen to share it. Many thanks for watching and your kind feedback as ever 😁👍
@@PeteWylieRC it's funny how sometimes you think, not sure if the footage was any good today, but when you put it together it works. The narration was class as always. You are a.great.guy and have a top personality which you illustrate in your videos. I was watching around the net the other week and people where talking about there face channels and this sentiment was echoed there. 👍🏼
I never had the hornet back in the day, I had the Fox. I want a hornet now!!!
Hi there. I've not had the Fox but I think it's got better handling than this one! I've recently finished building a Wild One and I'd go for that over the Hornet if you are after a retro buggy. Many thanks indeed for watching and your comments 😀
Once again another great run by you Pete. Very enjoyable brother. Yeah she didn't do too good in the sand on the Beach. But she sure did try hard. lol Thanks for sharing brother. Peppy little rig too at 40+ KPH... Thanks for sharing brother
Hiya Nick. Oh yes I was very much relying on momentum and gunning the throttle to get it through that soft sand. As I was saying in the vid the motor combo is probably too much for the abilities of this but fun to try and make it go fast. Many thanks indeed for watching and your great comments my friend. Best wishes to you and yours 😁
Hey, it's the first time I see a red hornet, this color fits particularly well to this car 😎
Hi there. Yeah it's the Tamiya bright red and it does go well with the supplied stickers. Many thanks for your kind feedback 😁👍
Oh Pete, that poor Hornet! Boy you really bashed the heck out of it in this one! Looked like a ton of fun though! Good speed in the end, I reckon a couple more mph if you could have kept it straighter for longer. So a few slams into a massive pile of gravel and good thrashing in the soft sand and then a dunk in the sea, you sure proved how tough this little buggy is! loved the humour - can it.. NO! Great to see a midweek upload from you mate, have a great evening and all the best from Mark... :O)
Hiya mate. Well yes I gave it a bit of a hard time on that gravel pile. Probably won't be a new challenge series as it was horrible dusty gravel. With the speed test I did a load more runs across the car park without the camera and I think I did get it to top speed. Really uncontrollable though so I'll be interested to see how it is if I go brushed. I'm being a bit lazy with getting videos done so thought I'd put this up as soon as it was finished rather than wait until Friday. Thanks as ever for your great comments. Best wishes to you too 😁👍
Awesome to see once again taking a old school hopper and adding a brushless motor and a 2s lipo on it makes for crazy ass fun r/c car granted I still feel your Tamiya Lunch Box is still the champ with that same set up👍👍
Hi there. Oh yes the Lunchbox doesn't feel too overpowered with this setup where as the Hornet is too much of a handful really. Many thanks indeed for watching and your comments as ever. Much appreciated 😁👍
Nice to see how the hornet performs on the different terrains, cool colour to !
Hi there. Yeah I think short grass is probably best for this and be good to go back to the beach when the tide is out. Many thanks indeed for watching and your comments. Much appreciated 😁👍
@@PeteWylieRC looking forward to seeing it on the wet sand for sure !
It still looked like a lot of fun and I am sure you are still finding sand in everything!!! Poor camera was getting sandblasted there at the end!!
Hiya Addam. Oh yeah sand is a pain but great to give it a run on the beach. Yes the camera got a slightly hard time too but all ok. Many thanks indeed for watching my friend. Best wishes to you 😁
Awesome video my rc friend, grest trucks and great run, nice locations 👍😀
Many thanks indeed for your great feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍
Awesome and brutal bash! Poor Hornet.. I bet it enjoyed the hike in power though.😂👍 The LunchBox is the better choice for the beach.
Ah yes the poor little Hornet but it's looking ok after a little dust off. It is kind of amusing to give this more power than it can cope with but I am going to downgrade it as discussed in the vid. Oh yeah lunchbox all the way for the beach and also most things. Many thanks indeed for your great comments. Much appreciated 😁👍
WHO doesn't love a Hornet going BONKERS on Brushless!!??😁😎🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 You really ripped that thing about the Beach, Mate! Incredibly fun stuff. Have a great Weekend!
Many thanks Carmine. Yeah the plucky little thing was trying hard for sure. Always good to have a Tamiya with too much power. Best wishes mate 😁
That is a cool bash but worried about the hornet anyway thanks for sharing👍👍👍
Hi there. Don't worry it's all fine. Many thanks for watching and your comments 😀👍
Great video. Now I'm wanting to drive my Grasshopper. Lol.
Many thanks indeed. Yeah go for it! 😁
cool speed test and great run
Many thanks indeed for watching and commenting 😁👍
Great content my guy. keep it up. Big like from XpertBoost Gaming.😎
Hi there. Many thanks indeed for watching and your kind feedback. Very much appreciated 😁👍
Fun time mate 👍
Many thanks indeed. Much appreciated 😁👍
Hejsa Pete! Good tests! Ahh yeah I remember some trouble keeping my Hornet in a straight line on a 3S speed run. Broke the wing and body a bit. And yeah, for me the Hornet is plenty of fun on the stock motor and 2S. Good run at the beach too. Looked sweet plowing through the sand. I don’t think I could manage that with my silver can rpm 😅 Anyways, always great with these videos with your voice over. Thank you ! Best to you and yours my friend.
Hiya Mikael. I was trying to find the video of you running the Hornet on 3s. Was it a very short video with it on the grass? Anyway, yes these don't take well to a load of power really although it does help it the mud and sand. I'm going to downgrade this and see how I get on with it just running on the short grass. Many thanks for your great feedback my friend. Best wishes to you :-)
@@PeteWylieRC The 3S speed test is included in a ‘battle’ (vs-video) with the WLtoys A959 and the Hornet. Wish I could include the link here but then it will probably be rejected by RUclips
Hi there Pete, oh boy! I’ve not seen a Hornet go so fast! 😊. Going to name that one The Mad Hornet 😊. So much power, the poor little tike, almost had its wheels driven off. Still, 27mph for this little icon is very respectable! It took all your skills and attention to keep it going in a straight line. I had a Hornet back in the day, it got upgraded to the Technigold motor, and I thought that was quick, mind you, had no idea how fast back then, I did try to speed test it with me driving my first car and my baby brother driving the Hornet, and yes, you guest it, he got confused with left & right as the car coming towards him and well….crushed and destroyed, my fault I suppose. I was so upset! 😊😁😉anyway, great video, love the red colour too. Take care and best wishes to you and the family 😊😁😉
Hiya John. Oh that is a terrible story about your Hornet back in the day. I have seen videos where people control an RC from within a real car and it always seems like a recipe for disaster. I can feel your pain even now! Anyway yes this was nearly impossible to drive in the car park. Runs well with the spikes on grass so that's where I'll run it from now on. Interesting to find out the speed though. Many thanks for your great comments as ever my friend. Best wishes to you and yours 😁
So now you should buy yourself another Hornet, they have been restocked just recently in Australia.
One things for sure Pete, you are a brave man!!!! Awesome run man!!!!
Hiya Bob. Oh yeah I did give this little thing a slightly hard time. Many thanks for watching mate. Much appreciated 😁👍
Great driving Dude!
Many thanks indeed 😁👍
Awesome video! The red body reminds me of a sears lobo 1 i had.
Hi there. I don't remember that one but there were a few similar looking ones back in the day. Many thanks for watching 😁👍
Brushless in a Hornet… Nice!
Ha yeah, probably a bit much to be honest. Many thanks for your comments 😀👍
Great vid. Most enjoyable that 👊😁
Many thanks for your kind feedback. Very much appreciated 😁👍
Great to see the Hornet on the beach! Although it struggled on the sand, it looked like a lot of fun. You were pretty hard on it too, and it just carried on going! 👍
Hi there. Oh yes one of the problems I discovered when I got home was that it had a load of wet sand inside weighing it down and that didn't help. Yes the plucky little thing did keep on going though. Many thanks indeed for your great comments 😀👍
Great vid Pete 👌 I'm off out to the mancave to hug my shelfer hornet after seeing that abuse 😄 . They're terrible at most things except 80s coolness and everyone must one .
Oh yes I was a little bit mean to mine. It is recovering on the shelf awaiting the installation of a more suitable power unit. Hope yours is ok. Many thanks indeed for your great comments. Very much appreciated 😁👍
They really have a mind of their own. Great video Pete👍😊
Yeah not the most controllable thing with this set-up. Still fun though. Many thanks for watching mate 😁
@@PeteWylieRC yeah they are always fun 👍
Gotta love it 😁
Yes indeed! Many thanks for your comments and for being first to comment 🙂
@@PeteWylieRC keep up the great videos Pete
Nice bash! I put a too fast of a motor in mine one time it was so crazy to drive I then put a 21T and it works better but still fast for a hornet!... How dare you kick the hornet! LOL! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hiya Steve. Yeah I'm thinking that this is one that is too much of a handful on brushless. I will give a slightly tuned brushed motor a go. Oh yes the poor Hornet did get slightly abused that day! Many thanks for watching and your great feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍
Great vid loved it ❤
Many thanks indeed 😁👍
Hi Pete. Well mate I've been trying to catch up with videos for a few months now and finally realised that it would probably take me years so have decided to start over. So great video mate, 27mph wow I don't think I could control my hopper at that speed. Some fantastic shots on the beach and in the grass. Hope you didn't get too wet recovering it and only one hit on the camera!😅👍👏
Hiya Rob. Oh yeah I'm not really finding the time to catch up with people's RUclips output and the trouble is that once you miss a couple, RUclips stops recommending it. I will pop over and check what you've been up to when I'm on the PC later. It's always good to see you popping up on Marks vids. Anyway, yes 27mph was indeed a challenge with this one. Be good to get it back on the beach when the tide is out. Cheers for watching mate. Best wishes to you 😁
I wonder pete if by removing the friction part in the front suspension, you know that little rubber tube that fits around the spring shaft if that might make the front suspension movement more plush without the stiction. That was the problem with mine and i only used a 25 turn core RC motor and 2s lipo. It constantly was tipping over and crashing and rolling over. So damned annoying.then i put the same motor in a new Nova Fox and mate that car handles beautifully.ive never crashed it one time nor rolled it onto the roof. But after the Hornet i tried the Nova Fox on cement only a couple of times then said ok thats fast enough and then went onto a football field with grass. Plus the fox is wider at the front and rear and weighs around 270 grams heavier. Tamiya claim 874 grams for a Hornet and 1140 grams for a Fox , both without battery and radio gear. You got some really high speed there mate.after crashing so many times i said enough is enough and firstly returnedc the stock standard silver can motor to the Hornet then put it on a shelf. Having said that it drive so much nicer with the slower motor. Just pretty slowly. Great work again Pete thankyou 👍👌
Hi there. Yeah when this had the stock suspension I did leave the rubber bit out because it would only take a bit of dirt to clog it up. I've got the oil shocks on this now and it does make it better but the handling of the Hornet is never going to be fantastic because of the way the rear suspension works. Yeah in the end I put a brushed motor in this one as the handling just isn't really up to brushless. It does work great as an RC of it's time but like you say there are others that handle much better. Many thanks indeed for your great comments. Much appreciated 😁👍
Its just an old venerable car which wants to drive around at a venerable speed 😎 This was a hard run for her royal hornetness 😊
Yes indeed and from now on I will drive it with the respect that it deserves. For a bit anyway 😂 Many thanks indeed for your great comments 😁👍
Consider me entertained! Thank you 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for your great feedback 😁
There's a guy in Australia that got one to do 52 or 54 miles an hour with a brushless system.
I will try to look that up. Very difficult with the stock tyres I think. Thanks for the comment :-)
You should get a radio link system that uses a gyro to keep it under control cuz that's what I do with mine.
Hi Brad. Oh yeah I do have a radio system that has a gyro function and I didn't think about it for this one. Would have been very useful for the speed test. Thanks for the comment :-)
Poor little Hornet 😅
Ah yes I was a bit mean to it. It survived ok though. Many thanks for watching and your comments 😀
this car is much better at higher speeds it seems much more fun to play with.
Amazing Speed❤ The gears and differential support 19 mph for long periods?
Hi there. Yeah the gearbox is quite strong and even with the brushless set it will last a long time. Many thanks indeed for watching 😁👍
Cool tracking camera work! What kind of equipment do you use?
Hi there. I've got a GoPro hero 10 which I use on the end of a camera pole. Many thanks for watching 😁👍
Hi Pete !
Great videos and looks so much fun
But im wondering what color code did you use for the red color ?
Hi there. It's Tamiya PS-31 Bright Red backed with silver. Many thanks for your kind comments 😁👍
I personally think the torque tune is perfect for hornets and hoppers. Anything more seems to be to much .
Yeah I agree. I have now made this one brushed. Many thanks for watching and your comments 😀👍
I would never done this I don't have a GT tuned on mine.
Out of all your videos I think the Sand Scorcher was best at the beach.
Oh yeah that was a good vid but the performance of the Scorcher was probably no better than the Hornet really. Did look cool though. Many thanks for watching mate. Hope you are ok.
Would have looked sick with some slo-mo shots.
Oh yeah I do normally put in more slo-mo's but on this one I wanted it to be more just like how it is on an RC day out. There are a couple where it's jumping on the gravel pile. Many thanks for watching and your feedback :-)
What rear tires are those?
These are the stock tyres that are supplied with the Hornet kit 😁👍
Mate I'm from Melbourne Australia, I get a higher speed on my rerelease Tamiya Super Hot Shot with a brushed Super stock RZ motor and 13 tooth pinion gear using a 2 S lipo nvision battery 44 Km/h and my car weighs twice the weight of a Tamiya Hornet 1560 grams for Super Hot Shot with battery versus 874 grams for the Hornet. And you went with brushless and did your speed testing on an asphalt road like I did. That's not so impressive for a brushless motor at all. Plus you crashed the little Hornet so many times it's painful to watch.
Hi there. You know I'm not doing speed runs to try and impress anyone, it's just to show what happens if you put that brushless set in a Hornet with standard gearing. I've got over 30 Tamiya RC's and most have a similar brushless set and I've had from 20mph for the 6WD trucks to about 45mph for a TL-01 on 2s lipo. Like I say I only include the speed for information. I haven't got a Super Hotshot but the closest I've tested is my Terra Scorcher which went 32mph. Really it comes down to gear ratio although weight comes into it a bit. The Hornet actually weighs 1270g with battery. I know you can get decent speeds with the fast brushed motors but for me the brushless sets are more reliable and last for years. As to the car turning over a lot I'd challenge anyone to drive one of these with Rough Rider tyres on tarmac with loose stones on and to keep it straight. In my opinion it's the worst handling Tamiya that I have and not really suited to a brushless set. You know when I get comments that are criticising what I'm doing I always have a look to see what they are up to on their channels and find that they have no content. The RC community on here is generally friendly so let's keep it that way 👍
@@PeteWylieRC mate your right I don't have a chanel of my own I'm just a fellow Tamiya enthusiast. I just don't think it was anything to write home about when you put a brushless motor in a Hornet and get a slow speed like that . For instance I also have a kyosho Fazer mk 2 with a 1969 Chevy Camaro Z28 body. Now that kyosho is a great car for vintage touring car racing as well as great handling on the race track and can keep up with a lot of fast cars but my Super Hot Shot goes faster than the kyosho with a brushed motor. My kyosho Fazer ( I actually have 3) with a kyosho g14 brushed 14 turn motor gets 42 km/h and my Hot Shot which let's face facts is a 40 year old design that never really handled well even when new and is a Tamiya assembly kit actually goes faster than a modern 1 year old kyosho Fazer. So in this context I don't think getting 43 km/ h with a brushless set up is really anything to write home about. And mate you know I've seen Glenn from Tamiya legends on RUclips getting 43 mph with a Tamiya Grasshopper and it's completely standard only fitted with full ball bearings and 3s lipo and a warmer brushed Tamiya sport tuned motor. Check him out Glenn Everitt I think is his name from Tamiya legends. so going brushless and getting only 43 km/h is really quite poxy. You have to face the facts mate 👌
@@JimBoBJames-no5db Again I would say that I'm just showing what happened. If I'd have put a clickbait thumbnail saying it was the fastest Hornet you've ever seen then I might deserve some criticism. You keep saying it's nothing to write home about and I agree. Like I was saying this is a friendly community and most people are just respecting what others are doing and not slagging them off because they weren't the best or fastest. We are just people enjoying a hobby and sharing what we are up to. I'm very sorry if I gave the impression that this Hornet was going to be fast. I have fully faced the facts so thank you for pointing out the error of my ways ☹️
@@PeteWylieRC no mate it's me that should say sorry if I gave the impression that I was upset with you. Sorry ok. But I'm using a brushed Tamiya motor and I'm quite happy with my Super Hot Shot. I admit brushless is great in some applications and most companies in RC today are using brushless while Tamiya has always used brushed motors and only in the last few years people has realised that it's possible to install a brushless set up in a Tamiya. I think maybe the first regular production released car from Tamiya which is claimed to be compatible with a brushless motor is the BBX 01 now in 2023. And even then it's still probably going to not be as fast as say a kyosho Fazer VE BRUSHLESS Camaro or Dodge charger VE Brushless mainly due to the chassis on kyosho Fazer is a great race chassis and how much horsepower can a Tamiya gearbox and differential handle. As far as I know kyosho and Traxxas use sintered metal pinion gears and lots stronger gearbox internals than Tamiya but don't get me wrong I absolutely love Tamiya mainly for the build aspect and the fun of putting together a buggy myself whereas a ready to run kind off feels soulless to me. And I had Tamiya static model kits and 1 vintage Tamiya Fox back in the 1980's around 1987.way before I ever brought a ready to run straight out of the box car.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TAMIYA RC CARS Sorry again if you got the wrong impression . Cheers mate👌🥰.
@@JimBoBJames-no5db Ah fair enough, it did come across as being critical of what I was doing and saying it wasn't good enough. It's hard to tell from written comments. I did have somebody post up a video on RUclips just to slag me off about this Hornet video and tell me I'm a moron so I thought your comments were more of the same. Apology accepted and sorry I took it the wrong way. The Hornet now has a silver can brushed motor and I think it goes 18mph with 2s lipo so 27mph was a pretty good increase on that but not the best. Yes the Tamiya gearboxes aren't always that strong but you can generally get away with brushless. The pinions are too soft as you say and that's something I upgrade if it's going to be a regular runner. Be nice if Tamiya upgraded the re-releases in the way that Kyosho has as they are making lovely new versions of the classics. With the RTR cars I would rather build a kit but there are good bashers like the Arrma trucks that I'm a fan of because I can beat them up and get that out of my system so the Tamiyas can have an easier ride. Over all it's great that there is so much more choice out there than when I was a child and also there is a great community of people doing it so it's been good for making friends 👍👍
Very nice keep it up
