Tamiya 1/10 The Grasshopper Black Edition

Based on the single-seater buggies that raced across dusty dirt tracks in the USA during the 1980s, the Grasshopper first appeared in R/C shops in 1984. With its lightweight design, easy handling, and straightforward assembly, the Grasshopper quickly became a hit and was regarded as the perfect entry-level model. Its compatibility with numerous tuning parts such as oil shocks, 540 motors, and ball bearings allowed it to grow alongside the driving skills of its owners. This fun limited "Black Edition" brings back all the fantastic features of the original and celebrates the 2WD buggy that is simply enjoyable—whether in the park or on the track. Whether it was or will be your first R/C kit, the Grasshopper delights model builders worldwide!

The perfect combination of simple assembly and robust construction made the Grasshopper so special. The durable plastic body is attached with screws to the resilient resin monocoque chassis, providing a stable frame that can easily handle rough treatment. Thanks to coil springs and independent front suspension with a solid rear axle, off-road tracks can be navigated effortlessly. The differential in the enclosed gearbox protects against dirt and stones, ensuring smooth drive and clean cornering behavior. Paddle-like rear tires and ribbed front tires combined with three-piece wheels offer excellent grip on dirt tracks. A partially depicted driver figure completes the overall package of this fun off-road R/C buggy.
