I remember being at the local hobby store and seeing these commercials...i wanted a hornet so bad and NEVER got one...always nikko or toy grade shit. Anyway 40 years later and I have a small collection of bashers...but today is the day I'm ordering a Hornet and will build it with my soon to be 6 year old son...cant wait to give it to him.

It was Tandy (Radio Shack) trash I always got. I remember having to spend ALL my week's paper round money on a set of batteries to power the thing... 10 minutes later they were dead.

hah I had a red Nikko that looked surprisingly similar to the Hornet. Beat the BAG outta that thing... my poor dad had to glue so many things back together!

I got one for Christmas 1984. I got a second hand Grasshopper the following year and then a Boomerang a couple of years later. Tamiya were everything to me back then! 😁

Love this clip.its awesomeness from the 1980's plus the video tape glitches add a nice touch. That's what we used to watch 35-40 years ago. Internet was not around or at least available to.the public back then.👍👌💯💪🥰

I had one in 1985 and while it was a good car it wasn't as good as the Tamiya Frog. I was deciding between the Marui Hunter and The Hornet and bought The Hornet for $135 (Australian dollars) from Yenora Hobbies (the kit only). Fitted a Tamiya Black Motor autumn 1986 and it was fast. Was crazy about The Hotshot but decided that it was a bridge too far - $230 kit only.
