Retro Grasshopper With Minimal Build Time

The Tamiya Grasshopper is offered in the Expert-Semi-Assembled X-SA range so pilots can hit the dirt faster. This version ships with the shell painted and decals applied, reducing initial assembly without losing the classic look.

Why the X-SA Suits Busy Hobbyists

X-SA models deliver the detail of a factory assembly for those short on time or workspace. The chassis is assembled and the body finished at the factory. With the TEU-105BK ESC installed, the Grasshopper needs only a radio, servo, and battery to be operational.

Size, Livery, and Drivetrain

The 1/10 scale Grasshopper is 389mm long, 223mm wide, and 135mm tall. It wears the classic 2005 Grasshopper livery on a durable styrene body. The two-wheel-drive platform includes a sealed gearbox and differential and uses paddle rear tyres with grooved fronts for traction.

Suspension Layout and Drive Feel

Front independent swing axle and a rear rigid axle are paired with coil-sprung dampers to provide a forgiving ride across uneven ground. The arrangement offers stable handling whether you are bashing in open parks or cruising local dirt circuits.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 389mm

  • Height: 135mm
  • ESC: TEU-105BK included

Tamiya Grasshopper X-SA 46704 is a good pick for drivers who want vintage styling and a minimal build, giving quick access to off-road driving while remaining upgrade-friendly.

Once you fit your radio, steering servo and a charged 7.2V battery pack the car can be ready to run in a short session of setup and radio calibration.
Tamiya parts and common aftermarket upgrades are widely available, making replacement gears, shocks and tyres straightforward to obtain.
For soft sand or deep mud, consider fitting wider, specialised tyres or mud-specific rear paddles to improve flotation and traction.
The styrene body holds up well for casual bashing, but adding a thin shell protector or careful driving will reduce scuffs and cracks over time.
