Garry Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 very erm ... bright, was there a knock off version similar to the hornet ? my brother had something that looked similar that ran on AA batteries and had a switch on the gears for high/low speeds More than likely, back in the late 80s, Academy and Mauri had designs which were "heavily inspired" by Tamiya cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalker Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 You would be happy to be seen with this????????????????? Wouldn't bother me TBH. I'm at that age where I'm not really bothered what people think. It's a fun looking little car. I'd put a 5.5t brushless and 4s in it and turn it into a sleeper car.

Smoothybb Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It's not about age, it's a question of taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpygramps Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It's so wrong, it's right! Just wish they'd make a decent car in those colours... I know the Hornet is an iconic design and everything, but that's about the only redeeming feature it has, lets be honest.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalker Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It's not about age, it's a question of taste Yeah but just imagine tricking it up with all kinds of mods, then taking it to your local track and embarrassing the big boys with it!

louder Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I love it, as said above though it's a shame it's not a good car but then I think it would sort of ruin the appeal of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk8inDuck Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 SERIOUSLY!? Who in there right mind would put something like this up for sale? Now I'm no expert, but I think it's gonna be a flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it pains me I kind of agree. I love this little model but I wouldn't buy it, I would buy the original... And this like all the other tamiya products will be priced out of the market which is a real shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm no expert, but I think it's gonna be a flop. Its not a worldwide mass produced general sale item. Its a very low-run limited edition to celebrate the achievements of a Japanese fashion designer. Its a bit like HPI teaming up with Ted Baker, Losi doing a deal with Jasper Conran etc. It'll have a huge price tag and they'll sell the lot even before it goes on sale as its.... A. Limited Edition B. Tamiya C. Awesome If anyone wants to know who Jun Watanabe is, clicky: http://en.wikipedia..../Junya_Watanabe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese85 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hpi Savage Ted Baker edition? That would be odd.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
