4wd Hornet vs. optimas

[AscotConversion]

I don't know if this has been posted before, but this is a video of a 4wd Hornet conversion running in a Kyosho sponsored race. At abut 1:00, they show the car with the body off. Neat stuff.

That is a boomerang with a hornet body. Surprisingly enough it is a direct fit. Tamiya also sold a couple of body only sets that fit both the boomerang and the hornet.

Well - if its a boomerang - its the very first chain drive one I have ver seen!

Thats one hell of a long chain - did you see the path it takes around the rear gearbox!!

Can that even be considered a Hornet any longer? Its hard to tell but it looks like only the frame is left.

Okay my bad, I didn't watch the video long enough

That looks like some crazy conversion kit

those cars look like they handle great. Great video!

what i saw of it anyway. I had a seizure from the blue flashes about 2 minutes into it.

can't check the vid out right now but this is likely to be one of grahoo's crazy project !!!

The Fire Dragon body, among others... initially released as a Hornet "option" body

This hornet was a more or less one off conversion project by the driver, not a kit. This car has been featured in some Japanese RC magazine way back. It slaughtered all those hotshots and optimas in that Kyosho race
