Tamiya 58643 Grasshopper II - 1/10 Classic Buggy Kit  [58643]

Experience the Grasshopper II Heritage

Originally popular in the late 1980s, the Tamiya Grasshopper II was re-released in 2017 to retain its classic charm while adding sensible modern compatibility. It provides an engaging build and a fun driving feel for a wide range of RC enthusiasts.

Classic Styling, Built to Last

The kit sports a polystyrene resin body with a driver figure and mounts to a tough ABS resin bathtub chassis. The combination of a front swing axle and a rear rolling solid setup produces a traditional but enjoyable suspension behaviour across grass, gravel and tarmac edges.

Balanced Powertrain and Tyres

An enclosed rear gearbox with a differential helps maintain traction through corners. Ribbed front tyres and spike rear tyres work together to offer stability and bite, fitted to lightweight 8-spoke wheels. The design accepts familiar upgrades, including Type 540 motors for those seeking more performance.

Contemporary ESC for Flexible Power

The included Tamiya TBLE-02 S ESC allows use of both brushed and brushless motors, giving you latitude to tune speed and torque. The Grasshopper II is well suited to casual day-to-day running or modest club competition after a few upgrades.

Tamiya Grasshopper II 58643 is a faithful revival that blends retro looks with modern usability, making it an enjoyable addition to any RC stable.
