Tamiya Hornet Evo.... Who asked for this?!?!?!

[@rocpile]

The Hornet Evo certainly seems like a great idea, I am looking forward to buying one!

[@PsychoticBovine]

I'm looking forward to it, also.

[@brucetumblinjr7980]

My dad got me a Hornet when I was a teenager that I built myself, I’m 51 years old now so of course I’m getting the EVO

[@Peter-dk4fz]

I bought my first hornet 3 weeks ago and I’m 46, always wanted one, I wouldve started with evo if it was out. I went to the hobby shop to get some paint a few days ago, all the hornets were sold out , there is still demand.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Pre-sales for the Evo are going mental. So there's that. I can't see any reason why refreshing a 40 year chassis design, is a bad thing. The Evo gets hex hardware, bearings, old filled dampeners and cleans the slate of the issues that's incumbent of the original. I'm a hardcore Kyosho fan, but the moment I heard that Tamiya was revising it, and doing away with that ancient solid axle, friction dampened rear end, I started to really think about whether I should be pre-ordering an Evo. The name Hornet Evo is a winner move by Tamiya.

[@flyboy451]

I had a 1984 Hornet. Definitely oil dampers at the rear!

[@Nordlicht05]

I also think its nothing bad. I won't buy it but i do have a lunchbox wich i got 2 years ago. And i hadn't really an idea what tamiya is to the late 2000s 😂 so pretty good for people wich may want some new old cars.

[@b-luv339]

Go Team Kyosho!!

[@stephenpheonix6549]

He’s right about the blister packs. Just built a Kyosho Turbo Scorpion and loved the nostalgia of the way it was boxed! Agree with you too I think this Evo is a good release from Tamiya. I’ll definitely be getting one for my collection.

[@gilbertko3501]

There are people like the look of the hornet/grasshopper but dislike the performance. So many 3d print mod you can get for it, Tamiya trying to get it done in house. It makes perfect scene. I hope grasshopper body will fit. The most realistic body design for its time.

[@iamjayjay6790]

The Hornet is Tamiya’s most sold RC car of all time. Makes commercial sense why they levergaing it’s popularity.

[@L.U.C.K.Y333]

We so needed this,this will sell like crazy

[@PsychoticBovine]

I raced the hornet back in the 80's. But, a Hornet with fully independent suspension? Oh, for sure!

[@alwTicToc]

Ive been in RC for about 40 years. Had friends that Hornets. Ive never had one. It seems as if my Wife got me the Hornet EVO for Christmas. Im not mad. Gonna build it and bash it!

[@Zed32_Customs]

What are you smoking dude. The hornet evo sets out to fix the critical issues with the icon that was the hornet! Its more than just stickers. And, nobody wants it?! Idk, but quite a few people are pretty hyped, myself included. I think its gonna be sweet

[@DonnyCanuck79]

I definitely want a Hornet EVO! It’s our childhood dream car but with all the critical issues fixed!

[@snipereliete]

Mate u r so so wrong.im so happy that Tamiya have done the Hornet evo.as someone who has been in the hobby 35+ years I love Hornets but hate the rolling rigid suspension and no double wishbone.all my dreams have come true and I'm telling u I can't wait.as an Australian u r doing us a great disservice.

[@rocpile]

I agree

[@ahhobby2527]

I believe there's two ways to get people excited into the hobby, from Tamiya perspective. 1) Re-releasing old stuff, which what Tamiya has been doing; 2) Being innovative and improvise, get the product to be better. Tamiya is doing the latter for the Hornet Evo, and I think that's a great decision. Yes the original Hornet is brilliant and charming in its own ways, but people have been modifying them. 3D printing independent rear suspension, putting oil shocks, developing new front suspension geometry, putting better tyres. And this is what the Evo essentially is, getting all the recipe from the factory. Because people have been hopping them up quite significantly. And they are doing it because they love to still run the Hornet, just making it slightly more competitive on track. And I love the fact that Tamiya retain the original design tyres. With a revised chassis, it will definitely unveil the true potential of those tyres. Tamiya can still re-release the original Hornet, and offering the Hornet Evo at the same time, hence why the Evo name. If they were to thoroughly revise the Hornet and retain the Hornet name, then I'd be mad LOL. Bottom line, the Hornet Evo is a logical decision in every sense in my opinion. Definitely getting one.

[@ianwalford1501]

Hornet Evo fixes the rear suspension issues. Would love a Falcon reissue instead of looking at £2k boxed kits from Japan

[@joekugelman4196]

As a child of the 80’s…. I would definitely pick this up

[@Numminz]

Grew up playing with two grasshoppers and taking them down to a frozen pond in winter….we drove the hell out of them.

[@iancadwallender9779]

I want one.Cant drive my original,without flipping it.This should handle much better,without losing the fun.

[@82coxy]

I kind of understand why Tamiya released the Hornet Evo. It was most people's first Tamiya kit so there's alot of nostalgia for it, if I'm not mistaken it's the best selling kit they've done. I get why people don't want it, there's loads of other kits that deserve a re release over a hopped up Hornet. I'll be buying one and I'll probably turn it into a Super Grasshopper 2 Evo simply to put on display next to the Grasshopper 2 I had as a child.

[@Pablo668]

I'm actually really looking forward to it. I bought my first Tamiya in 86. I have to say though I always wanted to find a way to put a decent suspension system on a Tamiya Hornet. This was mostly because the old 80's buggies still look ace, and having a buggy that looks that good and handles closer to a new one has been a goal for quite a few people in more recent times. I know of at least two people who have designed decent parts to convert the Hornets to IRS and sell their parts online. I can think of others on forums that have done similar. I myself have tried designing parts to do this sort of thing. In my case it was to adapt TRF 201 parts to fit the Hornet chassis. The stumbling block for me was getting bump steer out of the front end. So I stopped for.....years. I recently picked up a cheap DT-03 to try it with parts from that buggy. Then Tamiya did this. So in a sense they beat me to it. So, is this something that most won't want? Possibly, I really don't know for sure. But I have seen quite a few Hornet tragics like myself online who are quite excited about it. I hope you are feeling better my Perth brother.

[@snipereliete]

Bro I am one of those Hornet tragic people I love them to death had my first in 1987.ive spent many sleepless nights trying to fit double wishbone suspension to my Hornets.(DT02 arms r the best for the front I have found.)u just sound like in this comment.something about it resonates with me.cant wait to see this evo.

[@Pablo668]

@@snipereliete Thx!

[@SiegecraftPB]

This isn't a minor cosmetic refresh, it's a huge redesign all the way down to the bones. Looking at the reviews, the EVO fixes basically all the issues with the original, and some of them were pretty major problems. Let's face it, the original Hornet chassis was trash. Even a light hit on a curb would break off the upper front suspension and then it's a LONG chore to replace the chassis. For guys in my age group this is the Hornet we've been waiting for a LONG time.

[@Pablo668]

@@SiegecraftPB actually I used to unintentionally smash my Hornet against pretty gnarly curbs quite often bitd. Never did that kind of damage though.

[@08G8V8]

It's very cool that they did this car some justice with an EVO model. I know I might get one to go with my original Hornet from 1984. No one asked for it but it's a damn good idea.

[@todd1748]

This video came up on feed as I watched yesterday a video on the Evo and I can tell you, as a 47yr old that came from a poor family and couldnt afford the jet hopper let alone the hornet but wanted one so badly as a kid.... I gotta say I thought more than twice about buying the evo after seeing video!!

[@tamiya_australia]

I think i'm on Team Evo now!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment :)

[@lindsaybrown5897]

Oh man the hornet is what i wanted as a kid but we were not rich so at nearly 50 Im getting the Evo and love the shock upgrade and back end rearrange.....it may be lost on you but not on others bro all good though

[@samab3000]

We need the hi lux monster racer and kingcab ASAP, we'll over due for a re-release. Come on Tamiya ......

[@Hanstra]

I think another thing to keep in mind is that Tamiya is probably entirely focused on the demands of their domestic market, which might not line up with the demands of the global market. There could be a ton of demand for something like this that just isn't immediately apparent unless you're visiting Japanese social media.

[@christopherdixon9273]

I'm definitely going to buy a Evo Hornet! Love the Hornet and this one actually looks like it will drive well.

[@lionelplunkett9428]

G'day mate they done it for 40 anniversary it's one of the most iconic nostalgic Tamiya car ever same as your 959. I know that Tamiya haven't made a mistake with Evo Hornet it will sell out probably hard to get it's a smash out hit for sure. Over the time i've seen Tamiya do some wacky things at different time's but it's nearly what makes them so collectable. I hope we see a 959 in the future as well mate ❤

[@mrlt1]

Admittedly, I actually want a hornet evo, it'll be a fun car for Tamiya racing. Also, it's design is just timeless

[@ggilesy]

G'Day Sand groper. I'm kinda glad its been released. I sorta like the fact its a better version of the old one. It'd be great as addition to the collection if it floats your boat, if not, theres always the old one........or 4 of them.

[@jamespeek3061]

Tamiya does what tamiya wants. That's there genius. I don't think I I'll get one. However, it's cool they think outside of the box... hailing from Florida!!!

[@rivierarc]

Looking at the Forums these are going to absolutely fly off the shelves, one definitely coming to me

[@Bicharraco73]

I agree 100%. Who needs another Hornet when there is no rerelese of the 959 yet. PS: YES, we want the blisterpack back!!! ;-) Like christmas 1985. But this ist Tamiya: Genial and weird at the same time...

[@brycephiilips2716]

I think you didn't look closely enough at the differences between the Hornet and Hornet EVO. It is a much more substantial upgrade than some different stickers and shocks. This is an Evolution vehicle. It's a marketing move that I have not seen them do in a while. The closest example I can think of are the Super Blackfoot and King Blackfoot, which were an evolution of the original. From a marketing standpoint it's questionable, because neither of those sold well, despite the significant improvements in performance and durability they brought, but I absolutely love the idea and hope it works better for them this time. From what I have been able to learn, the Hornet EVO has entirely new independent suspension front and rear. A new gearbox (DT02), Oil filled shocks. A wider track width, and I think longer wheelbase. I also think they have retooled the mold for the chassis tub to add strength to the shock towers, but still fit either the EVO or the original Hornet applications.

[@florabee9283]

The Hornet Evo is the first Tamiya I have ordered, I’ve been waiting 40 years for tamiya to sort out the suspension and include bearings.

[@Metla666]

There revenue stream and the cost of production no doubt presents solid evidence that Hornets are in fact what people want. I've had three or four of them over the last 40 years. Built one for my son as his first RC and will definitely buy the EVO, its looks damn fine and I can't wait to bounce it around a track.

[@darrengrimmer8541]

I had a few hornets back in the day but never had a new one out of the box!!!. So I think I will grab one of these for my collection.. I’m still waiting for the Falcon to be re-released🤣🤣. Maybe a Falcon Evo!!

[@gyber23]

The rear axle of the Hornet EVO has a DT-02 gearbox and suspension, while the front is a completely new design. The front steering is a wiper steering system. Therefore, the mechanisms that were considered weak points in the past have been generally improved, making this a model worthy of the 40th anniversary. However, the first-generation Hornet was cool. That is why the silhouette has been improved without changing the original Hornet. from japan.

[@wun1gee]

I preordered one. I haven't been this hyped for a Tamiya chassis in a long time. Since the M05... I'm going to put a Grasshopper II wheels, tires and body on it because why the heck not, right? Grasshopper II EVO...

[@tamiya_australia]

Oh, that'll be an awesome build!! Tag us on Instagram if you post a picture up and we will give you a shout out!

[@KT_One]

Kudos to Tamiya for finally including ball bearings. They’re no longer behind two decades in this aspect. Now bring out an updated Blazing Blazer or 959.

[@matthewwiddows6319]

agree, tamiya obviously know what they are doing, premium brand that people are still buying after all this time, but would like to hear their reason for not re-reing what people want, the blister packs not being used. look at the best selling tamiya kits, they include alot of re-re's.

[@gigglehurtz3167]

my man, was this video supposed to be ironic? I think WE ALL want this thing i just ordered mine. Its a freakin updated hornet...yes please.

[@halmakenreuther8843]

I like the design of the old school buggies. But driving them is no fun when you have new stuff around. That's why i bought the bbx. So nothing wrong with having vintage look combined with modern suspension. 😉

[@loganrandell2359]

I'm with you, so many other rereleases they could do. Might be a generational thing, the older generation want the 80's cars? My first RC was a Super Hornet, and it was pretty good for a first car but also really basic and I have no desire to buy one. If a Super Astute or Dynastorm came out I would be all over that, also a TA-03F I would buy immediately. May just save my pennies for an Egress. Top Force was another I missed out on as I have just come back to the hobby.

[@Cerberus256]

I think the point is being missed here. To be it signals an intention to start a new 'Evo' line of the classics that modernises / fixes the long running issues while retaining the true classics as an option. Imagine a Lunchbox Evo! I think it's a concept we should get behind because it keeps the classics relevant for longer.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I have never really wanted a Hornet until now, or any other buggy built on that chassis... but, NOW I DO want them, oil shocks, bearings, etc... independent suspension, yay! I really hope that they do the same kind of refresh to all the other kits based on that chassis... I'd love to see oil shocks and independent suspension for a Lumch Box and Midnight Pumpkin Evo, amd lots of other Evo kits... yes, I'd buy a Frog and Grasshopper if they did the Evo version.... screw Porsche kits...no thanks... I've seen a LOT of people commenting about re-engineering the old kits and making them more modern and more fun to drive... I'd also love to see them use quality plastics on all the kits, more like what they did for the quality of the BBX.... Cheers

[@bwjones8903]

Speaking for myself only, I am primarily interested in 1980's Tamiya, yet I find the original Hornet chassis uninspiring. The Evo looks to retain the spirit of the original car, whilst providing a chassis which is at least interesting, if not actually good. I'll probably buy one.... and another one, and a Lunchbox. Thanks for the fun content. Cheers.

[@mattdixon6396]

💯 agree with you there mate!! I have money aside hoping for the 959 re release but….. my ultimate RC fantasy is a Blazing Blazer re release but we all know it’s not gonna happen. Great content mate

[@Simply4Aquatics]

I will be happy to buy one. There still going the sell the older one at the same time so there still be a Choice.

[@electricnitrorc]

The 959 rere is the ace card Tamiya keeps as long as possible 🙂. As long as its working, Tamiya will keep on with releases like this, and I definitely u understand them. I would do the same if I were the owner 😂

[@tamiya_australia]

I get it, but at least tease us with a 959 on a M chassis, or a 1/10th scale 959 on a XV01 chassis... If Tamiya offered a re-re 959 and we had to pay a deposit to secure a kit, 90% of collectors would do it straight away! Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment 👍

[@MilesWatkin]

For me I prefer the old hornet because it doesn’t have oil shocks it’s so bouncy and it glides across dirt and it is one of the most fun rc ever

[@bradkalman2353]

Are you going to get the hornet evo?

[@MadBeeRC]

I think you missed the point of this Hornet Evo its a nostalgic thing linked to its 40th anniversary! After all this is a totally classic buggy as you know my friend but now we get the real Super Hornet that has never happened before! Yeah for sure they have released many Hornet versions etc but this is the first time the Hornet has been generally ungraded to improve performance! Some will say what about the Super Hornet with the GH2 chassis but that was not much better in performance then the standard Hornet if at all in truth! I see the Hornet Evo as the upgrade the Hornet deserves for is 40th birthday 😉👍 Plus its at a price that does not send us running for cover! I agree about certain rere not happening but Tamiya is smart to keep these kits back! Lets face facts we are going to pick up these other kits released while we wait for certain kits we desire most! and let's be honest something like the 959 is going to be a lot more expensive than the Hornet Evo! Iol don't take this all wrong mate l dig what you are saying but l think you can't over look the bread and butter kits from tamiya! Cheers James.

[@tamiya_australia]

I agree with you in the 40th anniversary link, i just would have loved to see the box state that! I would get one straight away if that was how the box art was..

[@MadBeeRC]

@tamiya_australia Yeah definitely that would of been a good idea for tamiya to show this as the 40 anniversary Hornet kit on the box! Cheers buddy 👍

[@joekugelman4196]

I am still waiting for them to re release the Nissan King Cab to add to my collection! I own quite a few high end r/c cars but I love playing with my vintage Tamiya cars, especially my Lunchbox and Clod Buster!!!

[@lamarcdesign]

I don't understand why Tamiya doesn't come out with new fresh stuff based on the new td2 td4 chassis and the tc01 chassis. They all 3 look like a one of instead of building some ecosystem around them

[@AddamsPlayground]

Sorry you spent your vacation and afterwards sick, that really stinks! I both agree and disagree with you on the releases. I agree 100% they do not seem to listen to the collector market at all. Both releasing highly desired kits and a retro parts releases would make them a fortune. I disagree the Evo will be a flop. I have heard a bunch of buzz about this and it seems like it is coming out at a decent price so I do believe these are going to fly off the shelves. It is much more than a few minor changes and I think it really modernized a vintage classic for the anniversary of it and I think many folks will be buying tow of these kits, one for the collection and one to build and drive around!

[@Metla666]

They could make a market out of the EVO concept, I'd buy an EVO frog in a heartbeat.

[@markwhitehead7096]

I’d buy a upgraded Frog in a heartbeat!

[@ryanhodges2296]

I agree, I don't understand this release. Rear motor racing buggies are huge in Japan right now, why don't they do a rerelease of the TRF201? I would really like a Dyna Storm and Dyna Blaster.

[@djcutlas1976]

Because this one is badass ❤

[@ArcStriker]

Seems to be pre-sold out everywhere, so I think demand is there. I plan to wait for them to come in stock here in the USA and will pick one up for old times sake. I built the original Hornet in the 80's with my older brother, so it has sentimental value to me, and something that always bothered me was the bouncy rear end (!). This version appears to rectify that issue.

[@Droidy77]

No one should ever bring back the blister packs, because it encourages on-the-shelf hoarding, not even shelf queenong. They're also really annoying to open. They should sell the blister pack separately like a body shell for people who want it :) Because yes it does look sooo cool.

[@Andym1159]

It is what it is…I totally get why didn’t they do it as a 40th anniversary edition and bling it out a bit more? And yes there are so many other rc’s we’d like to see a re-re of and hopefully we’ll get them some day?? I’m impressed with the super astute re re as I missed out last time but I don’t get a Hornet Evo myself?? Even though I may end up buying one? 😂 🤷‍♂️ I mean they could surely re re the holy grail 959 Body on a different chassis?? And not on a tt-02 that’s too easy….👍

[@bradkalman2353]

Totaly different front and rear suspension. Comes with 4 oil filled dampers ,full ball bearings and hex screws. Lot of people are going to get the hornet evo.

At least do the Super Hornet! We all still want the Super Hornet.

[@speedysteedy759]

It should not be "Who asked for this" but rather "this is the Hornet we have been waiting for". You are making out that Tamiya is only restricted to distributing a select number of RC's. Perhaps make a video titled "What RC's would people like to see released and or re-released with what changes.

But yes I've no doubt hardcore collectors won't be happy... how dare Tamiya! 🙃

[@selligsgarage3262]

I think you are wrong. modification of Hornet, Grasshopper and so in 4 independent suspensions is very popular in Japan. (and elsewhere) So I think there will be demand for this product. I have a GH II that I modified about ten years ago with a DT02 powertrain, a double A arms front train and 4 hydraulic shock absorbers. And it is much more reliable and fun to drive.

[@adrianwarner8686]

I am their prime target customer for this, Gen X with nostalgia and disposable income. I remember the Grasshopper coming out and I bought one as soon as I could. Then I got a Boomerang, a Manta Ray and then got I distracted by girls for a few decades. Just turned 50, thought why not get a nostalgia toy and get a Tamiya car. Bought a TT-02 and gone to town on it. I have 0% interest in this set, oh and 100% with you on the 959. That was the dream one to own as a kid but no way could I afford it. If they sold that again they wouldn't be able to make them fast enough. I'm going to do my own with an aftermarket shell and the MF-01X chassis, the one with the Beatle body looks really cool so a no brainer purchase. But this, this was a waste of effort on their part.

How long has Tamiya been in business for champ ??? If things were going to go tits up for the company it would have already happened, but it hasn't. It's not about satisfying collectors it's about thanking the countless customers from the 80's that made Tamiya what it is today. To buy a new version of the Hornet transports people to when they were 12 years old again, to a much simpler time, a much happier time where life was still filled with innocent enchantment and adventure....that's why there is a Hornet Evo.

Glad you're feeling better mate..nothing worse than going on holidays and being sick the whole time. I dunno...I'm interested in the Hornet Evo..kinda cool what Tamiya did with it. Am I frothing over it...nah. Kyosho has hit it out of the park with their re-re's. Tamiya is being...well....Tamiya. Dragging the chain. They know we all want the 959 and Gr. B Celica.. maybe for the 50th anniversary? I doubt it. They'll most likely release that bodyshell on another chassis that's been done to death...anyway... we whinge a lot over toy cars lol. I completely agree with the whole blister pack thing. I remember my very first Hornet in 85. Blister packs!!! I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Marui Ninja brand new in box recently (Don't ask how much it was....) Blister packs, bodyshell and wing displayed in it's own section, tyres in a little cardboard cutout you guessed it...on display. MSC, shocks, driveshaft, dogbones....all in blisters. That is what I miss. Absolute froth. Think that's what struck a massive chord with me when I bought a new re-re Avante 2011.

Thanks Mate, really appreciate your awesome comments.. I know Tamiya can be the leader in desirability, I hope they start giving us what we want.. We can all only hope 🤞

[@davidr7813]

Mate, have you even had a proper look at the EVO? It is not just a re-re! From what I can see it has a DT-02 gearbox with independent rear suspension, new front arms with upper links!!!! the only parts that look to be re used are the tub chassis and the body. And I for one have it pre-ordered already. The TT02 keeps getting new bodies because it is a reliable chassis, I don't know anyone with the TC chassis and it looks like it wouldn't be great on roads and footpaths where most of these would be run. Nothing stopping you getting a TC and throwing what ever body you want on it, but that doesn't seem to be what the masses want.
