Description

Please Note:

This kit comes without a Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting and drilling.

The original Grasshopper needs little introduction. It was a Tamiya legend which inspired legions of fans since the 1980s. For many, it was their very first introduction into the world of radio control assembly kits. The original Grasshopper is still among Tamiya’s best-selling kits to this day. Now the legend is re-imagined as the Comical Grasshopper, with a new body inspired by the famous original. The re-imagined body sits on a new and dedicated variant of the proven off-road chassis: the WR-02CB.

Enjoy the satisfaction of building and painting your own RC car with Tamiya's easy to follow instructions.

The Tamiya Comical Grasshopper is a great introduction into the exciting RC hobby.

Comical Design with Charming Details

The WR-02CB Comical Grasshopper features a playful design with eye-catching details like antenna poles with flags and rounded bubble tyres, adding to its comical charm.

Wheelie-Ready Chassis

The durable and easy-to-run WR-02CB chassis is designed for exciting wheelie action. Experience the thrill of lifting the front wheels with a quick burst of acceleration.

Adjustable Suspension with Oil-Filled Shock Options

The Comical Grasshopper features a double wishbone 4-wheel independent suspension with long suspension arms, providing smooth and stable handling. Customise your setup by installing CVA oil-filled shocks in various locations for optimal performance.

Efficient Gear-Driven Drivetrain

The Comical Grasshopper utilises a gear-driven drivetrain with a centrally mounted motor and a vertical battery layout. This efficient design delivers power to the rear wheels for exciting off-road action.

Protective Side Guard and Driver Doll

The Comical Grasshopper includes a side guard to protect the motor from damage and comes with a driver doll wearing a helmet for added realism and fun.

Wheelie Bar and Megaphone Muffler

A wheelie bar at the rear of the chassis prevents rollovers during wheelies, while a large-diameter megaphone muffler enhances the driving atmosphere.

Optional LED Light Unit for Customisation

Enhance your Comical Grasshopper with an optional 5mm diameter LED light unit (sold separately) for the light case on the top of the body and rear end. Customise your buggy with this fun and functional upgrade.

Included Stickers for Added Detail

The included sticker sheet features markings for two types of driver helmets and an illustration of a comical grasshopper, allowing you to personalise your buggy.
