Let It All Begin With This One Buggy

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 whole range of option parts such as 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 2WD buggy is a blast on
both off-road and on-road tracks. Whether it was your first or will be
your first, the Grasshopper guarantees to please.

Simple But Tough 2WD Chassis

The perfect combination of simple assembly and tough

The 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 that finishing
touch to a fun off-road R/C car.
