Tamiya rc the grasshopper ii (2017) - 76-t58643

The grasshopper ii is one of tamiya's iconic radio control car kits from the late 1980's. It was 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. Its streamlined construction process makes this kit perfect for less experienced users and r/c veterans alike, while separately sold option parts can be used to enhance the model
