Tamiya Grasshopper II RC Buggy Electric 2WD 1/10 Scale Kit

Hop II It!

The Grasshopper II is one of Tamiya's iconic radio control car kits from the late 1980's. It was an enhanced follow up release to the original Grasshopper kit. This re-release (2017) kit features a number of updates while keeping largely faithful to the original model. Its streamlined construction process makes this kit perfect for less experienced users and R/C veterans alike, while separately sold option parts can be used to enhance the model.

Grasshopper II Chassis

A rugged ABS resin chassis is more than up to the stresses of off-road driving, and features lightweight durable plastic suspension arms, gearboxes and so on - the result is a lightweight and durable unit. Front swing axle and rear rolling rigid suspension combine for a responsive drive, while a fully enclosed gearbox is integrated with the rear axle and has a built-in differential gear to aid smooth cornering. One-piece wheels are paired with front grooved and rear spike tires for solid performance.

At the front, the model is equipped with a swing arm setup and tough resin front bumper to help resist impacts.

Integrated with the rear axle, the fully enclosed gearbox has a built-in differential gear for smooth corners.

A streamlined construction process means that you'll be ready to hit the road with this chassis in no time!
