It was one of the first rc buggies about 3 years ago and i loved it! Not sure why it just had something special about it… like how the front suspensions are overly soft and just runs so smoothly
Another buggy I raced in the 80s, along with the Apache and the Grasshopper. I remember the first time I saw Hornets on the start line. They were absolutely ballistic!
The Christmas present that every kid in the ’80s wished for, I really wanted one of these as a kid. Sadly a Hornet never arrived under my Christmas tree, however when they were re-released, my wonderful wife made sure I received one as a birthday present. I have many faster buggies, but none are as meaningful as this one.
