About This Items

    Now, let's start RC from this one
      It was in 1984 that Grasshopper, an electric RC car with the image of a single-seater buggy, the main character of American off-road racing, was born.
        The Grasshopper, which became popular for its easy-to-build design and easy-to-use driving performance with a 380 motor, is back.
          The one-piece molded body, which uses the same precision molds as the scale model, is made of impact-resistant styrene resin.
            The driver doll is also reproduced to enhance the mood.
              Both can be painted with paint for plastic models, and I'm looking forward to finishing them with original coloring.
                A 2WD buggy that can be played on-road as well as off-road.

                    Simple and tough 2-wheel drive chassis
                      Grasshopper features a simple, tough and easy-to-assemble body structure.
                        The body is integrated with a box-type frame made of ABS resin with screws.
                          A strong and lightweight monocoque structure is adopted.
                            Suspension is front swing axle independent, with rear rigid coil spring.
                              Show off your energetic run even on rough roads.
                                The gearbox is a highly reliable sealed type that prevents the intrusion of sand and pebbles that are common off-road.
                                  Built-in differential gear that produces smooth cornering.
                                    In addition, the front and rear wheels with a three-dimensional design are a 3-piece assembly type.
                                      The front wheels are equipped with grooved tires with excellent directionality, and the rear wheels are equipped with paddle tires that exert sufficient grip.
