I thought I’d start my first post by paying some respect to the RC that got me into the hobby a re - release hornet.
This poor thing had to put up with my appalling driving for 6 years, a full overhaul was the least I could do.
New chassis tub, bumper, side guards, and some thicker steering rods just to give you an idea of the neglect my hornet went through.
I wanted to do something slightly different for the body, so I ordered a grasshopper shell and some decal sheets.
I really wish I painted the hard body but it’s a bit late for that now🤦🏻♂️.
The final result was roughly inspired by the Bell ray bullet.
I have quite a few cars that are more capable than the hornet but even to this day it’s still one of my favourites.
By the way, please excuse the bold tires I use them as an ‘excuse’ when I crash😅.
Let’s see your Hornets and Hoppers and let’s show some love for these classic icons.
