I still love this build. I have seen a few D12 Lunchies and that is a great conversion.

Holy crap. I needed to bump this gem up to the top! This is incredible! Holy cow man! Now I want to do this! Just remarkable!

Thanks so much! All a lot of fun and SuperFly has been a life long project of what I think a Hornet could have been.

Before anyone complains that I used the word EVOLUTION, please note that I coined it in January of this year when I posted the Hornet next to SuperFly. Moving on.... SuperFly is not a Tamiya Hornet. It is a 100% fully re-engineering design created to make the Hornet what I always felt it should have been. From the correct wheel track and wheel base, dual bell crank/ball bearing steering, mid-motor layout, CVD rear axles, factory body, full tubular frame, IRS (factory gears), battery door system, and, for the badword of it, velocity stacks. Every single item we designed for Superfly is also able to be installed on a hornet as well which means you will have the ability to make whatever you want with the kit. There is a very in-depth build series on the car that covers every single step and all files are on YouMagine. Soon, as a flagship product for YouMagine, a full line of options for prints will be available. We figured it’s as good a time as any to launch this since it has been done for over three years.

This has been done already. His username on instagram is "luckynumber15" and it is amazing. It is designed for the TA03 and with his permission I can send the TA02 version I made. I've attached Michael Platypus's build.

As I was dealing with the ramifications of Shapeways and my 5200 parts on the store being gone, I was going over my data sheets from there and saw that in the last few months, almost 500 gearbox sets were sold. I am so happy to have #1 gotten so many FF01's back on the road and #2 ruined the value of the hoarders parts trees. Hahaha! Now on to the rear!

Dude this looks great! Why are there no replies to this post? I need to look at this!

LOL! 3 years too late Tamiya....spend all that time fixing the steering? The battery door gonna fall off still? I see they totally did a rookie mistake on the front suspension. The Tower is too low and the arms have the mounting point through the axis instead of what they did on the super hornet. Glad to see my jabs finally *******ed them off enough to do something.

Much appreciated. Perhaps Ill give it a shot. Might as well not stop until I'm banned. You are too kind.

As long as it helps the car work, that’s what counts

Very excited to see this!

I totally agree. I was posting a very custom build years ago but...yeah, rather not get into it.

This is a great point. Those cars are covered in molded parts. who knows. I love the thread on your MF01x. Just outstanding! I am surprised they allowed you to place it in the build series. When I used to do this, everything was removed since it was printed. Just total nonsense and one of the many reasons I really don't come here much. Seems things have changed for the better!

This is a fantastic build. The engineering here is fantastic and I bet the car is transformed.

Yeah they have not made parts for this car in decades....
