The Comical Grasshopper revives a familiar silhouette with contemporary refinements. Tamiya places this reinterpretation on the WR-02CB chassis to retain the model's fun personality while improving driveability.
Using a monocoque frame and inline battery placement, the WR-02CB helps maintain a neutral centre of gravity for steadier handling. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension paired with oil filled CVA dampers offers controlled travel over mixed terrain.
The polycarbonate body includes retro decals and headlight housings that accept 5mm LEDs for added realism. A driver figure enhances the scene and the new 2-part wheel and tyre setup boosts contact and grip when cornering.
The kit features a 540-type brushed motor and an electronic speed control for smooth operation suited to a range of skill levels. Remember to supply a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2-volt round battery pack to finish the build.
Tamiya Comical Grasshopper 58662 blends period looks with a chassis that supports practical driving and simple upgrades, making it suitable for display or outdoor running.
