Classic Buggy, Simplified Setup

The Tamiya Grasshopper returns in the Expert-Semi-Assembled X-SA lineup, giving RC fans a fast route to driving a revered 2WD buggy. The model comes with the painted body in place so you can focus on tuning and track time rather than a lengthy build.

What the X-SA Concept Means

X-SA models are for builders who appreciate model authenticity but prefer a quicker start. Each car is assembled to factory standards and carries correct decal work on the finished shell. The fitted TEU-105BK ESC means the Grasshopper is electrically prepared once you add your radio and battery.

Scale, Styling, and Chassis Notes

At 1/10 scale the Grasshopper measures 389mm long, 223mm wide and 135mm high. The styrene shell wears the 2005 Grasshopper paint scheme familiar to collectors. The straightforward 2WD layout includes a sealed gearbox with differential, paddle rear tyres and grooved fronts for balanced grip.

Handling Across Different Surfaces

Front independent swing axle and a rear rigid axle are supported by coil-sprung dampers to manage bumps and jumps. This setup helps the buggy remain composed over grass, park trails, and compacted dirt circuits.

Tamiya Grasshopper X-SA 46704 captures retro appeal while cutting build time, making it a good match for collectors who want regular runs and newcomers who prefer a straightforward start.

No specialist tools are required for final setup. Basic hand tools for fitting the radio gear and tightening fasteners are sufficient.
The TEU-105BK is a reliable entry-level ESC. If you later add a higher-performance motor you may choose to upgrade the ESC to match your power goals.
The kit includes paddle tread rear tyres and grooved fronts. Tamiya and third-party suppliers offer replacement and alternative tyre options for different surfaces.
