Join me as I build the iconic Tamiya Hornet Radio Controlled RC Car.
I had one of these Rc’s when I was thirteen, now many years later I build another. Really enjoyed this build. Please like comment and subscribe and let me know what you would like me to build next.

I'm building this with my 10 year old son this weekend. Can't wait!
Awesome, Memories he will never forget. I built mine with my Dad around the same age. #goodtimes
Thank you for your work sir
My pleasure. I am glad people find them useful. Thanks for tuning in.
@@FullOnRC if you could do a review set up of FPV & auction the car off. Would be so could to FPV this RCy brother ….I’ll buy it !
Good build. Yes i liked it. Super clean Hornet
Cheers Robert.
The hard parts :
1. Getting those rear wheels in the back tyres.
2. Doing a good job of cutting out the body.
I don't understand how people struggle with the rear tires. I just wip them in and job done. Constantly putting new tires on my racing buggies must firm up the old fingers.
My first ever RC car when I was 13 too! Got crushed by an annoyed neighbor with his van when I drove it on the road outside our house.
Ahh man that sucks. Was that the end of your young RC Journey?
@@FullOnRC sadly yes. We couldn't afford another one.
Saw this video had to watch. As I still have my original one from my childhood.
Nice one @Tom VanderHaas. Hope it gave you some good Feelz.
Great build, everybody needs a Grasshopper o Hornet in their collection.
Everytime I look at it. I smile. I loved the thing as a lad. Such a cool looking retro rc. Looking forward to building more. Thanks for tuning in my friend.
@@FullOnRC totally agree on looks and even if they handle terrible they are still soo fun to drive.
@@mattiasrc Sorry to say but this one is hanging on the wall pride of place, want to keep it fresh as an homage to the past.
My cousin had a grasshopper I used to absolutely love it when he got that car out
Would like a Grasshopper too one day. Thanks for tuning in.
*Thank you for sharing such a great video! 👍👍*
Thank you too for the great compliment.
Nice unboxing 👏👏
Cheers Pal. I enjoyed the build a lot.
Cool 😃😀👍
Cheers Pal.
Awesome admiration video!!! 👏👍👏
Very good!!! 😍😍
Thank you! Cheers!
I built this kit about a year ago. Love this car.!
Me too, even just to look at. Kind of want a Grasshopper in my collection now too.
What a time warp ⏳ my brother had a grasshopper that I played with when he was out with his mates 😁
LOL. Really like this. Something really rewarding building a Tamiya.
I like the hornet but i think the novafox is far supperior suspension
Yep that is certainly 100% true.
thinking of getting the same one .
Go for it. Is it yor first?
Are those the factory rear shocks? I would’ve never thought they were oil filled
Yep they are, Nice things too. Cheers for tuning in.
What type of servo did you use ???
Just a cheap one from ebay. Any servo will do really for this rc as a beginners car.
Hi,
I used to be so envious as a kid in the 80’s of my friends owning the original Frog, Grasshopper, Hornet and alike, can you tell me now I am 50, and desperately want to grab something that is now definitely affordable for myself, can you tell me if this is a good starter for a first time build despite using them on the odd occasion way back then I have no experience in building RC cars, I watched some use cable ties on one of the videos for around the rubber bars (I don’t know what they are called axels I think) and obviously my friends didn’t do that so have things moved on and is that why some do it, (add the cable ties and so on) my budget as I have looked at the actual Frog you show and I can get it without RC gear for under £100 so I’m basically looking for as much advice as possible, sorry for the essay lol, thank you.
P.s silly question but do you cut the pieces off of the frames or twist them, I see you twist them but I’ve seen others cut them. I just need to know so I can pick up a decent craft tool/stanley knife, and by frames I mean the things the wheel rims are on and alike and also do you have a kit list ? Screwdrivers, pliers and so on…sorry about all the questions
To cut the pieces off the part tree I use side cutters. You can get specials ones that leave no mess when you snip them off. A good beginner tamiya 2wd I would go for the sand Viper. The frog and Hornet now are pretty dated.. The sand Viper can take pretty good motors and looks great. The Hornet etc drive like a bouncing rock. The sand Viper has oil shocks also. Hope that helps.
Thank you for the video, I'm just working through this with my son and it's been very helpful. I'm a newbie to all this stuff and have a simple quesiton! The ESC has three cables (Orange, blue & yellow) and the motor just has two (green and yellow). What should go into what?! Thanks in advance.
Hi the three wires are in you are using a brushless motor. You can use any of the three and if it spins the wrong way round swap one over. Glad you found this useful, it is a great beginners kit. Enjoy.
@@FullOnRC amazing thank you
First
Thx bro,, subs'too
Subbed you back buddy cheers.
