XB the Grasshopper - Tamiya 57746 Expert Built 1/10 2WD Buggy  [57746]

Expert Built Tamiya 57746 XB the Grasshopper — finished classic 2WD with authentic mechanics

The XB the Grasshopper is supplied as a fully finished 2WD off-road buggy built on a resilient ABS resin tub chassis and fitted with a pre-painted monocoque body. The Expert Built presentation removes the build process while preserving the core mechanics: a sealed rear gearbox, front swing-axle independence and a coil-sprung rigid rear mount that mirror the original driving feel.

Chassis, drivetrain and mechanical character

The bathtub-style ABS chassis gives impact-resistant protection and easy access to drivetrain components. A sealed rear gearbox guards the bevel and spur gears and sustains the gear differential during ordinary use. The front adopts a swing-axle independent arrangement and the rear uses a rigid mount with a coil spring. Wheel assemblies are three-piece to enhance visual accuracy and tyre selection places broad high-grip rubber at the rear and grooved tyres at the front for consistent handling on mixed surfaces.

Finish, presentation and collector appeal

The body is delivered pre-painted with stickers applied; a completed driver figure and a redesigned display box are included to strengthen shelf presentation. The Expert Built format suits those who prefer a display-ready example that retains the Grasshopper's original lines and mechanical character.

Who this model suits

This product is intended for collectors and hobbyists who value a completed, display-ready model that preserves authentic mechanical detail rather than a kit requiring assembly.

The Tamiya XB the Grasshopper 57746 presents the classic two-wheel-drive buggy as a finished model: faithful, display-ready and intended for collectors and hobbyists who prefer a factory-complete example over a build.
