Tamiya The Grasshopper 58346 1/10 Electric RC Buggy Kit

Tamiya The Grasshopper 58346 RC Car

The Tamiya Grasshopper is one of the most popular cars in Tamiyas range of classic RC reproductions and brings a cool bit of 80's RC memorabilia back. This relaunched Grasshopper is just like the original car, but has been gently updated to benefit quality and durability, by implementing modern materials compared to the materials used in the eighties.

The bathtub chassis in ABS plastics and white plastic body is incredibly strong, along you to attack jumps and kerbs fearlessly. With coil-spring dampers in the suspension, a rear differential and paddle style rear tires the car grips both on asphalt and offroad. A great buggy kit for everyone looking for a simple yet fun car that can be used (almost) everywhere.
