Let It All Begin With This One Buggy Based on 1-seater buggies seen tearing-up dirt tracks across the U.S. in the 80 s, the Grasshopper first made its appearance in R/C stores in 1984. Boasting easy assembly and easy control, the lightweight Grasshopper proved an instant hit as the perfect entry level R/C kit. Also compatible with a whole range of option parts such as 540 motor and ball bearings, the Grasshopper was an entry level car that could keep up with the owners driving experience. Packed with all the fantastic features of the original kit, this fun 2WD buggy is a blast on both off-road and on-road tracks. Whether it was your first or will be your first, the Grasshopper guarantees to please.
Simple But Tough 2WD Chassis The perfect combination of simple assembly and tough exterior is what made the Grasshopper so special. Durable plastic body is fastened to 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, and independent swing axle front and rigid axle rear suspension. Diff loaded sealed gearbox keeps out the dirt and stones for smooth driving and cornering. Paddle style rear tires and grooved front tires combine with 3-piece assembly type wheels for excellent grip performance on dirt tracks. Half-body driver figure adds that finishing touch to a fun off-road R/C car.

Bought this as i remember how much fun a Grasshopper was to drive. Ive just taken it out for it's "christening" and it is brilliant on rough terrain. I would recommend this version to anyone starting out in RC Cars. The only gripe i have is that the switch on the ESC that it came with the car is small and does not have any way of screwing to the chassis. There are screw holes but on the side, but this does not help. So, i will have to either silicone it in place or make something to hold it in place.
No, these are pre cut white ABS so don't require painting.

A decent set of screwdrivers and hex drivers would be useful, as well as a sharp craft knife and some side cutters and pliers.

You need radio gear (transmitter + receiver), servo, battery + charger to complete. We include these in our 'combo packs'
