Now, let's start RC with this one car, the world's best selling RC vehicle.

Grasshopper, an electric RC car modeled after a single-seater buggy and the main character of American off-road racing, was born in 1984. Designed with an emphasis on ease of construction and 380 The Grasshopper, which became popular due to its easy-to-handle motorized driving performance, is back. The realistic one-piece body is made of impact-resistant styrene resin using the same precision mould as the scale model. The driver figure is also reproduced. It will enhance the mood. Both can be painted with plastic model paint, and you can look forward to finishing it in your original colouring. It is a 2WD buggy that can be thoroughly enjoyed not only off-road but also on-road, and is the perfect one to get started with RC cars.

Simple & Tough 2-Wheel Drive Chassis

The Grasshopper features a simple, tough, and easy-to-assemble body structure. The body is screwed into an ABS resin box-type frame and integrated. Uses a strong and lightweight monocoque structure. The suspension has an independent front swing axle and a rigid coil spring at the rear. It provides a lively ride even on rough roads. The gearbox is a highly reliable sealed type that prevents sand and pebbles from entering, which is typical of off-roading. It has a built-in differential gear that produces smooth cornering. The front and rear wheels, which have a three-dimensional design, are a 3-piece assembly type. The front wheels are grooved tires with excellent directionality, and the rear wheels have paddles that provide sufficient grip. Tires have been installed.
