About the Hornet EVO
Classic Design, Modern Performance
The Hornet EVO features a polycarbonate body with the same classic shape as the original Hornet, providing a touch of nostalgia for long-time fans. While the color scheme pays tribute to the iconic design, the updated sticker set gives it a fresh and modern twist. The lightweight and durable body sit on a 2WD chassis, ensuring a smooth and dynamic off-road experience.

Equipped with a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, the Hornet EVO offers superior handling and stability on rugged terrains. The rear gearbox is sealed and fitted with a differential gear borrowed from the advanced DT-02 chassis, providing smooth and reliable power transmission. These improvements make it a joy to drive, whether you're tearing up dirt tracks or navigating through tough obstacles.2
