Can I use this body and wing on other Tamiya models?

No, the 58045 body and wing are designed specifically for the Hornet chassis.

What kind of paint should I use?

Use paints specifically designed for RC car bodies. These are typically flexible and will adhere well to the plastic, such as Tamiya color.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts, including the body and wing, are available from Tamiya retailers and online hobby stores.

Troubleshooting

Body does not fit properly

Double-check the chassis model to ensure it is the Tamiya 58045. Verify that all mounting points align correctly. Consult the manual for proper installation steps.

Wing detaches during use

Ensure the wing is securely attached with the correct screws. Consider using thread lock on the screws to prevent them from loosening due to vibration.
