Retro off-roader with upgrade potential

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.

Durable chassis and scale detail

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.

Grip, gearbox and electronics notes

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.

With the ABS bathtub chassis it is fairly resilient, though like any kit it benefits from routine checks and sensible upgrades if you plan heavy bashing sessions.
Battery choice will depend on your motor and ESC selection; measure the chassis compartment and choose a pack that fits alongside your electronics and servo without impeding gear clearance.
Yes, genuine Tamiya spares and many third-party hop-ups are available for popular kits like this, which makes repairs and upgrades straightforward.
A brushless conversion is possible when you pair a suitable ESC such as the TBLE-02 S with the correct motor mount and gearing, though additional bearings or backing plates may be required for some setups.
