Description
Tamiya The Grasshopper II (2017) HC-58643 is an off-road R/C assembly kit that brings back the distinctive design of the original 1988 model with useful updates. Its streamlined construction is suited to less experienced builders, while the rugged ABS bathtub chassis is designed for durable off-road driving. The kit includes a realistic injection-moulded polystyrene body, marking stickers and a driver figure for a recognisable finished appearance. Power comes from a Type 380 motor, and the rear-wheel-drive layout uses a fully enclosed gearbox with a built-in bevel differential to help deliver smoother cornering.
Off-Road Design
The front swing-axle suspension and rear rolling rigid suspension provide a straightforward, responsive setup. Lightweight plastic suspension arms, gearboxes and other chassis components help keep the model’s weight down, while the tough resin front bumper offers additional protection against impacts. One-piece wheels are fitted with grooved front tyres and spiked rear tyres for suitable traction on off-road surfaces. The chassis is also compatible with suggested separately sold Hop-Up Option parts, including Type 540 motors and CVA oil dampers.
