Revived Classic With Practical Upgrades

The Grasshopper returned from its 1984 origins for a new generation. The Tamiya 84416 - 1/10 Grasshopper I Black Edition keeps the classic silhouette while upgrading the finish to black ABS for easier upkeep.

Black Finish, Less Work

The Black Edition offers the original style without the painting step, using robust ABS plastic to cope with the bumps that come from off-road running.

Sturdy 2WD Platform

The heart of the kit is a durable 2WD monocoque chassis that tolerates rough use. Independent swing axles at the front and a rigid axle at the rear provide a simple, reliable suspension layout for varied terrain.

Reliable Motor and Tyre Setup

Powered by a 380-brushed motor, the buggy uses fluorescent yellow wheels combined with paddle rear tyres and grooved front tyres to deliver consistent traction for casual racing and bashing.

The Tamiya 84416 - 1/10 Grasshopper I Black Edition is aimed at collectors and casual racers who value an authentic classic with straightforward maintenance and assembly.

Yes. Its classic shape and clean black finish make it suitable for display, while the kit format keeps it faithful to the original running model.
No. The kit uses plastic bushings rather than metal bearings, which keeps maintenance simple and replacement costs low.
While it is designed for off-road use, the Grasshopper will run on light on-road surfaces but handling and tyre wear will differ from purpose-built on-road models.
After running, check and clean tyres, remove dirt from the chassis and inspect plastic bushings and gears for wear to keep performance consistent.
