Bring Back the Grasshopper II Experience

The Grasshopper II from Tamiya is a revival of a late 1980s favourite, reissued in 2017 with contemporary compatibility. It offers an enjoyable build and driving character for those who enjoy classic RC styling with practical upgrades.

Period Looks with Solid Engineering

A polystyrene resin body includes a driver figure to add personality, while an ABS resin bathtub chassis provides a strong foundation. The front swing axle and rear rolling solid suspension give a lively response suited to parks, lawns and light trails.

Traditional Drive Train, Modern Options

The rear gearbox is enclosed and fitted with a differential gear for predictable handling. Ribbed front tyres aid straight-line control and spike rear tyres deliver strong traction. The lightweight 8-spoke wheels keep the classic look and the kit accepts popular tune-up parts like Type 540 motors.

Flexible Power Management

The included Tamiya TBLE-02 S ESC supports both brushed and brushless motors, letting you tailor the powertrain. This flexibility makes the Grasshopper II suitable for relaxed runs or for sprucing up with performance parts.

great to deal with and communication is very good !👍
Build time varies by experience, but expect a few afternoons to complete a careful assembly including fitting electronics and trimming the body.
Yes, the ABS bathtub chassis offers a stable base for common upgrades like better shocks, different tyres and higher torque motors, provided you verify clearance and mounting points.
Regular checks of gear mesh, drivetrain lubrication and tyre wear will keep performance consistent. Clean grit out of the gearbox and inspect the chassis after rough runs.
Any reliable 2.4 GHz transmitter and receiver pair will work. Use a servo with appropriate torque for steering and ensure the receiver fits inside the chassis space.
