Tamiya The Grasshopper RC Buggy Electric 2WD 1/10 Scale Kit (No ESC)

Based on 1-seater buggies seen on dirt tracks across the U.S. in the 1980s, the Grasshopper first made its appearance in RC stores in 1984. Boasting easy assembly and easy control, the lightweight Grasshopper proved an instant hit as the perfect entry-level RC kit. Compatible with a whole range of option parts such as a 540 motor and ball bearings, the Grasshopper was an entry-level car that could keep up with the owner's driving experience.

The perfect combination of simple assembly and tough exterior is what made the Grasshopper so special. Durable plastic body is fastened to the bathtub resin monocoque chassis by screws, creating a solid frame that can absorb any type of rough handling. Off-road tracks can be tackled with ease thanks to coil spring dampers, independent swing axle front suspension, and rigid axle rear suspension. A diff-loaded sealed gearbox keeps out the dirt and stones for smooth driving and cornering. Paddle style rear tyres and grooved front tyres combine with 3-piece assembly wheels for excellent grip performance on dirt tracks.
