I bought this one as an oldie but a goodie.
I have lightly restored it with new shell and some stylish Kyosho rims and tyres. It was restored for display only, so not having the correct wheel adaptors for it doesn't bother me.
Have a great week everyone!

Yeah I really like the colour. Unusual and yet suits the more vintage era of this buggy! Goes with the sticker colour well too.

Beautiful looking Hornet MP! This is how the Super Hornet should of looked and maybe with a sport tuned motor included in the kit! That wheel set is on point and the colour is lush! Nothing wrong with the Super Hornet by the way lol is a funky buggy but you know what l mean!

Looks fantastic. Are those wheels a direct bolt on?

Thanks guys, Mad Bee, I think we all know that your comments are always said with respect and love for all things R/C, have a good one mate!
Hi Toyolien, The fronts will go straight on with the addition of 850 size bearings, the rears need to be drilled for the larger diameter of the Tamiya axles, and different wheel adaptors.
