Dirt-540 68 Posted August 21, 2014 I think we spoke about my Hornet before, think my price was a little high? Maybe I'll have a little re-think if your interested at all? Share this post Link to post
BigSteve 149 Posted August 22, 2014 Hi my friend I'm looking for a hornet that needs some work (possibly a strip down and replace of parts) as i have some spares from a previous Hornet build. If memory serves me right your Hornet was an awesome example. Steve. Share this post Link to post
Dirt-540 68 Posted August 23, 2014 To be honest it may look pretty good on the pics but it is not a minter or shelfer really, theres lots of imperfections like the wheels are a bit tatty, the paints good on them but the plastic rims have chips or little dinks. The body is intact but yet again it has lots of scratches and signs of wear and tear as mentioned in my original listing. It also comes with a new D part sprue with all the bits that are prone to breaking on the Hornet, those on the Hornet aren't fully broke yet but they do have a few stress cracks showing but otherwise are intact and good to run. Chrome spot bar is mint as its never seen action so that's good and theres no cracked lenses in them either. The chassis tub is scratched underneath from running so is the bumber and bottom of the gear case axle. The electrics are good though, virtually all brand new, inc 101esc, sport tuned motor(except where I accidently some how nicked the red cable and pierced the insulation, I just put a bit of insulation tape over it, though to be fair I could of just left and you'd never know it'd happened.) Everything is vintage too, even the servo saver is original as its gone yellow over the years. Anyways I don't know, its up to you. I wonder what parts you have already? Share this post Link to post
Dirt-540 68 Posted August 23, 2014 Oh almost forgot, 2 other things; 1 it has no bearings in at all, also the original spots are missing as I used them for another vintage resto-project a while back. Its almost impossible to remember every detail of every car I own More reason to maybe sell some off... Share this post Link to post
BigSteve 149 Posted August 23, 2014 Hi my friend PM with a ball park figure if you like. I haven't got much of a budget left this month hence the reason I am looking for a bit of a restoration project. Many thanks Steve. Share this post Link to post

BigSteve 149 Posted October 13, 2014 Hi fellow TC members I thought I'd give it one more try on here. I'm still looking for a Hornet project vintage or re re so if anyone has anything suitable please let me know. Budget is a bit limited. Thanks Steve. Share this post Link to post

Supernova 0 Posted October 22, 2014 Hi Steve, I may be able to help. I have an original 80's Hornet. Bought and built by me from new. Well used but still runs fine with ALL original parts. I was about to stick it on eBay as a RTR with original 80's Acoms Techniplus radio gear and a bunch of other extras. It needs a little love and would make a great restoration project. Interested?
