A New Face in the Field! The Grasshopper is a legend among Tamiya R/C models, a 2WD buggy which debuted in 1984 and proved a huge hit with its single seater-inspired body, plus a simple chassis that responded eagerly to its driver's commands. The legend continued with the Grasshopper II in 1988, and now with this R/C model assembly kit of the new Comical Grasshopper. This R/C model assembly kit creates a 2WD buggy, with a lightweight and durable stylized polycarbonate version of The Grasshopper body. Stickers to create model markings are included, as are masking stickers for use during the paint job. There is plenty to catch the eye in the overall design too, with dual pipe parts giving an antenna motif, and parts depicting megaphone design mufflers. Separately sold LEDs can be installed for a truly awesome model!
