The Tamiya Grasshopper II 58643-60A brings the late 1980s silhouette back with a build that is easy to work on and modify. This 1/10 scale 2WD buggy is a practical platform for weekend bashing or step-by-step tuning.
The design centres on an ABS resin bathtub chassis that stands up to rough running, and the polystyrene body includes a driver figure for scale realism. The front swing axle and rear rolling rigid suspension, paired with coil-sprung friction dampers, deliver a simple but effective setup for uneven terrain.
Ribbed front tyres and rear spike tyres on 8-spoke wheels suit mixed off-road conditions, while the enclosed rear gearbox houses a differential for stable cornering. The kit excludes an ESC, but it will accept controllers such as the TBLE-02 S for both brushed and brushless motor configurations.
The Tamiya Grasshopper II 58643-60A is well suited to hobbyists who want a no-fuss build with plenty of scope for aftermarket upgrades. Its simple mechanical layout makes it easy to maintain and adapt.
