Tamiya 84331 Grasshopper 1/10 Candy Green Starter Kit  [84331]

Vintage Grasshopper in Candy Green Livery

The Tamiya Grasshopper has long been recommended as a first kit for those learning the basics of RC model construction. This Candy Green edition preserves the original character while offering a pre-finished ABS body for a tidy presentation straight from the box.

Standout Points of the Candy Green Version

This edition pairs a striking Candy Green shell with the classic layout that makes setup simple. The 2WD RWD driveline with a solid rear axle and independent front suspension delivers predictable handling, and the included TEU-105BK ESC plus 380-brushed motor supply the essentials for running after construction.

Putting the Kit Together and Driving It

Building the Grasshopper gives hands-on experience of chassis assembly, suspension fitting and setup basics. The plastic chassis and ABS body are durable and easy to service, while the pin spike rubber tyres provide traction across lawns and light off-road tracks.

Positioning Among Beginner Models

Against other entry-level kits, the Grasshopper is notable for its ease of assembly and period appeal. Its simple gearing and adjustable front toe settings are ideal for new drivers learning the effects of setup changes on handling.

The Tamiya Grasshopper Candy Green Edition is an approachable kit that blends easy assembly with a classic look, suited to new builders and collectors seeking authentic retro models.
