    Both cool but l do like the supreme version for looks but a few extras would of been nice! Maybe a sport tuned, ballraced and some different colours on the plastic parts for the money it cost plus its called a surpreme after all! Love the box too!
    Very nice buy though Andy!

      Thank you 🙏, yes I think if it had been made with a bit more of a classier spec the initial cost of purchase would have been more worth it. Still o had to have one ;) ha ha many thanks

    What do you think of the new td-2 and did you know that Toyota had them make a hydrogen powered RC on the tto2. Check it out it's online.

      Look ok the new TD2 not see proper shots of it yet but it will be heavily design biased to the TD4 I imagine , keeps tooling costs down? Will check the video out

    The Jun Watanabe Hornet is the most striking looking, but the Supreme edition looks better to me, I love the design of the decals. I know it's not much different to the bog standard Hornet, but I really like the look of it! Awesome video as always!

      I still prefer the Watanabe hornet because of the effort and presentation that went into it, but the supreme does look cool more aggressive and racer like. Cheers as always

    I really like the looks of the Supreme, wish I had gotten one years ago. I guess if I had I would have probably torn it up by now anyways! Definitely a looker and a great addition to your collection! Thanks for sharing

    Hi Andy, the only hornet I would give a second glance at is the moo 🐮 cow watanaby version, i personally don’t see the attraction of the hornet, ecxcept for the comical relief 😅, niiiiiiice video, it’s just a bit of craik, as we say in Northern Ireland/Norn Iron, lol 😝. Niiiiiiiiiiice video Andy. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
    Ps……I’ll give ye 30 quid fer the chassis. Waddayafink

      Ha ha they are a comical car and that’s without the comical series. That why I like them though , I have as much fun with a hornet bad I do say a top force. Cheers for watching Mikey much appreciated :)

    Andy... You are mad, sir! Even though I have 4 Lunchboxes I stand by my opinion :D The Watanabe shoudl always be worth more than the Supreme; as you say, there's more effort put into the Watanabe Hornet.

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад +1

      Ha ha, maybe just a little. Yes I agree there was more effort out into the Watanabe hornet it’s just mad looking, what’s not to like 👍

  • @darkstorm303
    @darkstorm303 3 года назад +1

    They both look cool together Andy...Hornet collection commence 👌👍🔥🔥🔥🔥no matter the hobby we all spent too much on occasion ..it's an addiction rc 😎

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад +1

      I think they compliment each other very well, glad you agree ;) and yes all hobbies seem to cost slot of money , I think some of it is down to the passion for the hobby ;) take care

  • @bradkalman2353

    The Supremes rear tires look a little bit wider than normal hornet tires am I wrong is that just how it's being picked up by the camera you should be watching my videos my man.

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад

      Hi Brad tyres are the same although the supreme rests are worn a little and the pink tyres are new never used. Sorry I did not realise you had a channel I shall go and investigate ;)

  • @madsrcbuggy
    @madsrcbuggy 3 года назад +1

    Yeah, you're a bit mad! Maybe not even just a bit, Andy, ha ha!
    It's not really something for me, I gotta admit... Although I must confess I am spending a little too much money on RC at the moment, maybe not just a little...
    Still cool hearing you talk about these things, as always!

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад

      Ha ha , totally mad ;) it’s so easy to spend or spend money on the hobby it can get out of hand quite quickly, that’s one I know about. I think merge hornet style cars are an acquired taste for a lot of people a first rc car as well. Many thanks 🙏

      Cheers for messaging Paul, we all do what we think is right at the time or what works best for us. Sometimes we regret it later on ;) Thanks for messaging hope your still enjoying your hornet collection:?

  • @bradkalman2353
    @bradkalman2353 3 года назад +1

    Is it my imagination or was the watanabe's rims are a wider than the usual rims that the hornet came with?

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад

      No they are just normal rims , maybe camera angle , colour and the new tyres that are on?? But they are just normal rims :)

    Nice, but I would prefer the Hornet Black Edition!

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад

      Hello Guy hope your well. Quite fancy a black edition hornet to go with these two, but if I’m right isn’t it the black metallic special for the m hornet

    I’d not heard of these til Glenn’s video last weekend. He mentioned you had one. The price on these are absolutely rediculous

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  2 года назад

      They are both crazy money buggys especially for hornets. The Watanabe hornet was a cheap kit when it came out I payed £90 originally for mine . How time change!

  • @arnoldapplewhite3149
    @arnoldapplewhite3149 3 года назад +1

    I'm not sure about the Supreme? It doesn't look a million miles away from the original Hornet and if the only difference is the colour scheme????? Liking the Watanabe tho! 👍

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад

      I think the colours make it look similar to the original hornet but if you put them side by side there’s enough of a difference. The Watanabe is ace though, that’s still my favourite ;)

    They should re-release both models.

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  3 года назад

      Maybe but since they were both collaborations, i can’t see it happening , maybe they should do something else?
