Tamiya 47471-60A Grasshopper II Black Edition Off-Road 1/10 Kit  [47471-60A]

Timeless Grasshopper Returns

The Tamiya Grasshopper II Black Edition, model number 47471-60A, returns with the classic profile and a black molded shell. This 1/10 scale 2WD kit offers a balanced mix of nostalgia and practical component layout for builders.

Design and Background

Developed as an evolution of the original Grasshopper, this edition keeps the iconic form while streamlining the finish with a black plastic body and sticker set. The straightforward assembly helps new hobbyists get rolling quickly.

Build Quality and Drive

The unit uses an ABS chassis with front swing arm and a rear rolling rigid suspension to maintain stability across rougher surfaces. A sealed gearbox with a differential gear aids handling, and the kit comes with CVA oil shocks and a 380-brushed motor. No ESC is included.

Mod Options and Serviceability

There are plenty of upgrade routes, from stronger motors to improved dampers and tyres. Battery placement along the chassis centerline makes servicing and pack changes quick at the track or field.

The Tamiya Grasshopper II Black Edition makes an appealing project for anyone who wants vintage styling and a kit that responds well to incremental upgrades.
