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.
The front end features a specially engineered swing axle suspension system that is designed for maximum efficiency and durability. This ergonomic layout allows the front wheels to move independently to track over obstacles, providing a stable and predictable driving experience that is perfect for those learning the art of off-road control.
The rear of the chassis utilises a rolling rigid suspension setup where the gearbox is cleverly integrated directly into the rear axle. This compact design simplifies the drivetrain while ensuring that power from the motor is delivered efficiently to the rear wheels for maximum acceleration and drive out of corners.
The Grasshopper stands out on any track thanks to its vibrant fluorescent yellow wheels. These 3-piece wheels not only add a bold splash of colour against the black body but are also designed for strength and easy tyre mounting, ensuring they can withstand the rigours of off-road jumps and high-speed runs.
Changing your power source between runs is quick and hassle-free thanks to the bottom-loading battery compartment. Located on the underside of the chassis, the battery pack is easily accessed under a secure cover, allowing you to swap batteries in seconds without having to remove the main body shell.
Because the driver figure comes as a separate piece, you can use your imagination to create a one-of-a-kind look for your pilot. Using standard plastic model paints, you can replicate your favourite racing designs or create something entirely new, making your version of The Grasshopper truly unique.
The iconic single-seater buggy body of The Grasshopper looks better than ever when moulded in a striking black finish. This classic silhouette captures the essence of early off-road racing, providing a timeless look that remains a favourite among enthusiasts for both its simplicity and its aggressive racing stance.
