Tamiya XB the Grasshopper 57746 Expert Built 1/10 Scale 2WD Buggy  [57746]

Factory-completed XB the Grasshopper (Tamiya 57746) — classic 2WD, ready to show

The XB the Grasshopper is provided as a fully finished 2WD off-road buggy built around a durable ABS resin tub chassis and a pre-painted monocoque body shell. The Expert Built format removes the build stage while preserving the model's mechanical profile: a sealed rear gearbox, front swing-axle independent arrangement, and a rigid rear mounting with coil spring communicate the familiar behaviour enthusiasts expect.

Chassis, drivetrain and mechanical character

The bathtub ABS frame gives impact-resistant support and straightforward access to drive parts. A sealed rear gearbox protects bevel and spur gearing and helps maintain the gear differential under normal use. Up front, the swing-axle independent setup handles steering loads while the rear uses a rigid mount combined with a coil spring. Wheels are built in three pieces to boost realism and tyre selection pairs wide, high-grip rear tyres with grooved fronts for stable handling across mixed terrain.

Finish, presentation and collector appeal

The body is pre-painted with stickers already applied; a finished driver figure and a redesigned display box are included to enhance shelf presentation. The Expert Built presentation targets those who want a display-ready model that keeps the original Grasshopper proportions and mechanical choices intact.

Who this model suits

Designed for hobbyists and collectors who value a completed, display-ready example with authentic mechanical detailing rather than a build-it-yourself kit, this model offers a faithful factory-finished take on a classic 2WD buggy.

The Tamiya XB the Grasshopper 57746 packages the classic buggy layout as a finished model: mechanically simple, ready for display, and intended for hobbyists and collectors who prefer a factory-complete example over a kit build.
