The Grasshopper silhouette returns in a lighter, playful form. Tamiya mounts the Comical Grasshopper on the WR-02CB chassis to combine iconic looks with a platform built for outdoor fun.
The WR-02CB chassis uses a monocoque frame and inline battery layout to keep balance centred and handling predictable. The double wishbone suspension at each corner with oil filled CVA dampers smooths out rough patches and improves ride quality.
Polycarbonate bodywork and era-accurate decals recreate the classic vibe, while headlight pods accept optional 5mm LEDs for night runs. The driver figure and updated 2-piece wheel set enhance the overall presentation and road grip.
A 540-type brushed motor and ESC provide straightforward power and easy control, suitable for hobbyists across skill levels. To complete the kit you will need a 2-channel transmitter, steering servo, and a round 7.2-volt battery pack.
The Tamiya Comical Grasshopper 58662 is a fun throwback that performs reliably on mixed surfaces, making it a satisfying build-and-run choice for enthusiasts.
