The Grasshopper II returns with the familiar silhouette that made it iconic, while receiving practical component updates for better usability. Tamiya has kept the vintage aesthetic and improved the electronics and serviceability for todays hobbyists.
This kit is arranged to guide builders through mechanical assembly without unnecessary complication, making it suitable for newcomers who want to learn and for veterans who enjoy a straightforward build. The black injection moulded body comes with decals to recreate the classic look, and optional parts allow for performance or cosmetic changes.
The ABS chassis supports a front swing arm and a rear rolling rigid suspension set up to give predictable behaviour across varied surfaces. A sealed gearbox with differential helps maintain traction during turns, and the battery is mounted longitudinally for easy access. Included CVA oil shocks and a 380 brushed motor provide a balanced driving experience.
The included new ESC handles sensored brushless motors from 21.5 turns upward as well as Tamiya brushed motors of 25 turns and higher, so you can pick a powertrain that suits your driving style.
The Tamiya Grasshopper II 47471 is a user-friendly classic with modern touches, suited for anyone who wants the vintage look plus the ability to upgrade electronics and drivetrain parts.
