This video is very helpful in my research to restore/upgrade my father and older brother's original Hornet. I'm not sure if mine will match yours in performance and parts quality but you've given me great insight.
Thanks so much..and thanks for subscribing👍👍..I have just watched your grasshopper video..well done! I just subscribed to your channel too..us small channels have to support each other. Looking forward to watch more of your videos. Check out my other video on the HotShot!
OK watched your TR6 video, now you got me hooked on more vids, nicely done! The hornet was a big deal when I was a kid, always dreamed of owning one, may have to fulfil that dream!
@@archiscapes1503 also made my own servo arm got rid of the wire one.so made one out of the vantage front steering arm no slack or wobble or popping out as on the ball joint linkage love makingvthings better on the cheap.
You don’t need anything..if you like Tamiya electronics..good! It’s up to the individual if they want to customize their buggy/ car. That’s what’s great about our hobby. I have buggies with the original Tamiya electronics from the 80’s..they are fun. But I also like the Brushless Reedy/ lipo electronics too.
I was actualy told that before buying them..but I went ahead and got them anyways to try for myself..to my sunrise, the Hornet handles much better..but I think the stabilizer bar and sway bars really helped. Plus, I really love the look of these..and the stabilizer is awesome looking. I actualy should have put in the video that I rebuilt the shocks..emptied the oil, cleaned them..and put tamiya medium weight oil in them. I love them..glad I took the risk and got this setup. The Hornet just “carves” up the track…but still has that fun “hopping” feel..just not as bad. Yes..there are better shocks out there..personal preference
@@archiscapes1503 that's what it's all about, as long as you are happy with what you got, my opinion means nothing. Lol I used a 20 weight oil in mine. The lowest I could get and they run less stiff now. I agree, they do look amazing on the hornet.

Thankyou....yes..The Hornet will always be special to me!
Great video, thank you. Can you post a link please for the shocks and steering links.
I got everything off EBay..just do a search for Hornet suspension and stabilizer bar..
Got a mad bull totally ball raced on ftx vantage 2.0 shocks on 8.4v 5000 nimh it's a blast.
I need to get one of those...it's not one I'm too familier with.

Your the first one to watch!👍
タミヤのホーネットは日本が誇れるとてもいい車です
Nice video. It would be fun to drive, with the brushless set up. Did I miss it. Did the gearbox
also get bearings, like the front wheels? 👍🏻
Yes…I put bearings in gearbox.
@@archiscapes1503 Cool, it definitely needs it, with that brushless motor 😂
What is the partnumber of that suspension and where did you found it?
Bonjour ça à été rentable d’avoir acheté un moteur brushless ?
La vitesse a changé de combien de km/h
You don't need any of these over priced electronics or battery. The Tamiya electronics and motor work just fine.
