There has been a bit of improvement in Tamiya kits since the eighties I think.
I got my kids a Desert Gator and Keen Hawk for christmas a year or so back.
They were both fully ball raced and had oil shocks all round and have fully independent suspension.
Something the Hornet never had. I still have a Hornet and I love that car.....even if it is a pig.
Of course they don't come with a slipper (can't fit one to the DT-02 I think), the shocks aren't much to write home about and yeah, no turnbuckles.
But they're still a step up from Tamiyas more basic kits.
