Sick new Tamiya Hornet release

[Dirtdiver]

Everyone laughs at the ugly, pink and purple thing today but in 10 yrs this will be the RC car everyone wishes they bought as a kid but didn't have the money or courage to buy.

The only redeeming thing about this rere is maybe the tires will leave pink burnout marks as youre grinding off the buggy spikes on the street

Someone needs to build it and take it to the Vonats

Don't let the drift guys know. But also those tires are going to get so dirty, and look like you picked up some leftover bubblegum

[bearrickster]

anyone else think Punky Brewster when they saw that?

YES exactly!!!

this car looks like they are targeting 6yr little girls for their new Race Team

This must be some kind of Kid Robot type thing, where they have artists and designers make toys. I seriously doubt that Tamiya is marketing this to the r/c world, my guess is that it's just the latest platform in the long line of artist-toy-colaboration-gimicks. That's all.

Up next, the Haruki Murakami Clodbuster.

This will look sweet next to my hello Kitty themed associated

[RedScampi]

That looks like something you'd find in Walmart in the Barbie aisle.

Looks like Dr.Suess is now heading the R&D dept. at Tamiya...

LOL, that would be fantastic, but gawd, I am just in . So hideous.

[kaiser]

i love it!

i'd roll that at the vonats in a second!

i'm serious. and slightly insane and sleep deprived. i may regret this post in the morning.

That shouldn't be called the "Hornet"...it should be called the "Hornette".

[jwscab]

now DATS funny right der.....

the car isn't 'sick'--it's the owner who's sick...as in, sick to their stomach. seriously. W. T. F?

[Mindwarp]

That reminds me of a hornet you would see on e-bay that someone ruined. You would think maybe with some paint remover it would be worth a 15.00 buy it now...

That about sums it up

I would keep the nice black rims though.

[Bormac]

Atleast the 'boys' down on Oxford Street (gays) can enjoy an r/c that will suit their taste.

Definitely the dumbest rere I have seen.
