Tamiya has brought the Grasshopper back in the X-SA Expert-Semi-Assembled format so enthusiasts can enjoy a cult classic with much of the build already completed. The finished body and assembled chassis cut down setup time while keeping authentic styling.
The X-SA line targets modelers who value a high-quality finish but want less hands-on assembly. Each car is built to factory standards and fitted with period-correct decals. The included TEU-105BK ESC means the Grasshopper is electrically ready once your radio system and battery are fitted.
The 1/10 Grasshopper measures 389mm by 223mm by 135mm. The styrene body carries the 2005 Grasshopper livery that collectors recognise. The chassis uses a simple 2WD concept with a sealed gearbox and differential, plus paddle rear tyres and grooved fronts for dependable grip.
With an independent swing axle up front and a rigid axle at the rear, both damped by coil springs, the Grasshopper is designed to absorb impacts and maintain control. The suspension setup balances comfort and responsiveness for varied off-road surfaces.
Tamiya Grasshopper X-SA 46704 offers nostalgia with the convenience of a semi-assembled package, suitable for collectors who want to run their models and for newcomers looking for a fuss-free entrance to off-road buggies.
