Tamiya 1/10 2017 Grasshopper II 2WD Buggy Kit

Overview

The Grasshopper II is one of Tamiya’s iconic radio-control car kits from the late 1980s, 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, with a streamlined construction process perfect for less experienced users and veterans alike, and separately sold option parts available to enhance the model. A rugged ABS resin chassis is more than up to the stresses of off-road driving, with lightweight, durable plastic suspension arms and gearboxes. Front swing axle and rear rolling rigid suspension combine for a responsive drive, while a fully enclosed gearbox integrated with the rear axle has a built-in differential gear for smooth cornering, and one-piece wheels are paired with front grooved and rear spike tyres.
