Striking Jun Watanabe Custom Color Scheme
The legendary Hornet receives a bold visual transformation with a black-spotted white body paired with vivid pink tires and purple chassis, bumper, and side guard components. White damper springs and pink 4 mm wheel nuts complete the eye-catching custom appearance.

Durable Off-Road Chassis Design
The model is built on a strong ABS box-type chassis engineered for durability and stable off-road handling. Its rugged structure is designed to withstand demanding terrain conditions.

Classic Spike Tire Setup
Three-piece wheels are fitted front and rear, paired with grooved front tires and rear pin spike tires for enhanced grip on loose surfaces. An additional set of black tires is also included in the kit.

Proven Suspension Performance
Front swing axle suspension and rear rolling rigid suspension provide dependable control and responsive handling. Rear oil dampers improve stability and absorb shocks on rough surfaces.

Sealed Gearbox for Reliable Running
A sealed gearbox helps protect internal components from dirt and debris during off-road driving. The integrated differential gear delivers smoother cornering and improved traction.
