A true legend of the RC world is ready for you to build with your own custom flair in the Tamiya Grasshopper Black Edition. This 1/10 scale buggy is a bona fide classic, loved for decades because it is so easy to build and fun to drive. This special edition features the famous Grasshopper body moulded in a sleek black plastic, giving it a unique look right out of the box. Whether you are driving on a dirt track or the pavement, this 2WD buggy is designed to handle it all with style.
The Grasshopper is built around a tough ABS resin chassis that can handle the bumps and jumps of off-road driving. It features a simple but effective suspension system and a fully enclosed gearbox to keep dirt away from the gears. Because it is a kit, you get the rewarding experience of assembling the vehicle yourself, which is a great way to learn how RC cars work. The kit even includes a driver figure that you can paint to give your buggy a personal touch.
Designed for durability and simplicity, this buggy uses front grooved tyres for steering and rear paddle tyres for extra push through the dirt. It is equipped with a 380-sized motor that provides a manageable speed for beginners, though the chassis is designed to handle a more powerful 540 motor if you want to upgrade later. The Tamiya Grasshopper is a fantastic entry point into the hobby that offers a perfect mix of vintage charm and rugged performance.
