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.

Features

• The Grasshopper II body is molded in durable white polystyrene resin.
• Includes a driver figure for attachment to the body.
• Features a rugged ABS resin bathtub chassis to withstand the rough-and-tumble fun of off-road driving.

• Includes the Tamiya TBLE-02S ESC (brushless motor and brushed motor compatible)
• Fully enclosed rear gearbox contains a differential gear to aid smooth cornering.
