Based on 1-seater buggies seen tearing-up dirt tracks across the U.S. in the 80's, the Grasshopper first made its appearance in R/C stores in 1984. Boasting easy assembly and easy control, the lightweight Grasshopper proved an instant hit as the perfect entry level R/C kit. Also compatible with a full range of optional parts such as oil dampers, 540 motor and ball bearings, the Grasshopper was an entry level car that could keep up with the owners' driving experience. Packed with all the fantastic features of the original kit, this fun LIMITED EDTION "Black Edition" celebrates the 2WD buggy as it's fun to blast around the park. Whether it was your first or will be your first, the Grasshopper guarantees to please R/C builders across the globe!
The perfect combination of simple assembly and tough exterior is what made the Grasshopper so special. Durable plastic body is fastened to bathtub resin monocoque chassis by screws, creating a solid frame that can absorb any type of rough handling. Off-road tracks can be tackled with ease thanks to coil spring dampers, and independent swing axle front and rigid axle rear suspension. Diff loaded sealed gearbox keeps out the dirt and stones for smooth driving and cornering. Paddle style rear tires and grooved front tires combine with 3-piece assembly type wheels for excellent grip performance on dirt tracks. Half-body driver figure adds a final addition to a fun off-road R/C car.
