  1. Yes, I know, some people are not really thrilled about the Hornet evo and it's looks and that better buggies can be had for cheaper. But I do this hobby because I can build what I want or like, sometimes for as little as possible too. I have done enough to now want something new again and it just so happens the Tamiya engineers have already done the work for me, so really that saves me time and money. When I first saw the hornet evo, I found it odd, but it soon gained my interest. So now with it on pre-order from the hobby shop I go to and having to wait till early December, I figured that it would be a good time to prep for it. I mean I have already been prepared for some time, but I've collected so much used and new over the years that now I have more to choose from. For the steering a decent servo will be necessary, as this buggy will be ran harder than my usual hornets and hoppers. So I have decided not go with a plastic gear servo. So I've narrowed my choices between the Tower Pro and Rage metal gear high torque servos.(Probably the faster one.) Not to brag, but I do have doubles and triples of some of the servos here, so I am not spending the money to buy another servo, I'll just use what I have. For the receiver I have two choices, both are 2.4Ghz S-FHSS and will work with my Futaba 2PL an 3PL. I use to just swap receivers from model to model, but that gets annoying when the collection grows. Sticking with 2.4Ghz because it's 2024 and getting interference should be a thing of the past, although I am tempted to use some of my old 75Mhz radios, lol. The last piece I need is a painted body, because it's cold in December, which means no spray painting for me. I had bought a spare body for my hornet in the past, so now it will be painted for the new car. I'll try and paint the body this weekend, it will not be black, but I think gunmetal will look pretty sweet. It's weird, this kind of seems backwards, but I guess that's a good thing.
