Heritage Buggy Made Easier to Run

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.

Features of the X-SA Release

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.

Dimensions, Bodywork and Drive Layout

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.

Ride Quality and Control

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.

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 389mm
  • Width: 223mm

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.

A basic 2-channel pistol grip or stick transmitter with a compatible receiver works fine. Ensure your steering servo is rated for 1/10 off-road use.
Yes. The sealed gearbox can be opened for inspection and maintenance; keeping gears clean and lubricated extends drivetrain life.
As a heritage-style 2WD buggy, it is ideal for casual club events and nostalgia runs. For competitive racing you may want to upgrade electronics and tyres to meet class requirements.
