Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It is in every aspect, underneath, a Grasshopper and vise versa.
Very fun to drive, affordable and makes you reminice of the 1980s when life was much simpler and all you had to worry about was not getting your fingers burned by the hot ceramic resistors of your R/C after each race.
Sure the RC10 dominated the tracks but there were us, the masses who ran with mid to high-end Tamiyas who almost always end up losing to Team Associated. Either our Tamiyas were sturdy but heavy, light but tips over or just plain stock.
Nevertheless, the Hornet was one R/C i wanted to have. I didnt want my Grasshopper lonely, so i wanted to get one...which my dad didnt allow to happen. But now, i have one. Just a few hours of build time since the instructions are very easy to understand and follow. Much like the Grasshopper, the cover must be removed when accessing the batter connector, be it for connecting or disconnecting. The cover is easier to remove compared to its sister since the cover is plastic and is just held on the chassis by conventional pins. No unscrewing necessary.
The handling is quite the same with the Grasshopper, its the drift thats more on this unit. Probably because this one has spiked tires while its sister has paddle-type ones. My 9 year-old son has an RC10 and he drives the Hornet as if it was his AE but he hasnt tipped it yet. Since the Hornet drifts more than it wants to tip itself.
Its a great toy to have, to play with and to collect.
