It's just the car kit. No battery, no charger, no controller, no servos, no receiver/speed controller. You'll need to buy those separately at your local RC/hobby shop. I think I spent around $150-$175 extra for all of the above.

I SPEND 30€ FOR A DESENT FM TRANSMITTER + RECIEVER + SERVO

AND 100€ FOR THE KIT = 130€ CASHING!!!

@gestekoe The hornet is simpler than most rc cars. As a result it is faster. It is truley a fun 2wd car. I had 3 hornets, and they were all a total blast. I had other rc cars from associate that sucked ass, but were percieved as better cars by the public because they looked more complicated.

@gestekoe: I agree. When I had a Hornet (late 1980's) I wished I had an RC-10. Now you can get gas powered machines w/ oil filled shocks (front and rear) that run circles around the RC-10 for about $225. Why spend 200+ on an old tech car?

150-175?i can get everything at my local store for 115 but you did post this a year ago so maybe they lowered price

You just answered your own question, dickhead. Nostalgia...the same reason people buy 40 year old muscle cars and restore them...it isin't about speed and performance.

[MIRCWOOD]

Me to, I dont understand why I just spent well over 200$ on restauring my over 20 year old Hornet, and why I will soon spend over 200$ on a used Monster Beetle that probably will need parts for around 200 more dollars. And on top of that I have to get the Hotshot re-release(another 200$)...And I will probably not even drive them much because I have other cars thats better and faster.Go figure

[gestekoe]

I guess I don't understand why someone in their right mind would buy a Tamiya for over $200 when you can get a Traxxas Bandit, Rustler, Slash and Stampede for $199 or less. I understand it's nastalgic and brings back memories, but come on!!!!!

[scaredrosey]

comes with everything cept a battery charger and the battery itself

[scaredrosey]

not good to drive off road rc's on asphalt or cement or anything like that..can seriously mess up your tires.

[rantmenow]

You got an ESC in that?

[Episcleritis]

Great car. Mine's in the closet enjoying a quiet retirement. But she's ready to run!

[MasterKirby500]
