Tamiya 47471-60A Grasshopper II Black Edition Retro 1/10 Kit  [47471-60A]

Retro Reborn: Grasshopper II Black Edition

The Tamiya Grasshopper II Black Edition, model number 47471-60A, revisits a classic silhouette with modern fitment. This 1/10 scale 2WD buggy kit keeps the spirit of the original while providing a serviceable platform for tuning and fun running sessions.

Design Heritage

As a successor to the classic Grasshopper, this release maintains the nostalgic lines and simplifies finishing with a pre-molded black body ready for decals. That approach reduces painting time while still allowing personal touches.

Chassis and Performance

The Grasshopper II sits on a durable ABS chassis with a front swing arm and a rear rolling rigid suspension to deliver reliable handling. The enclosed gearbox includes a differential gear, and the kit is supplied with CVA oil shocks and a 380-brushed motor. An ESC is not included in the box.

Parts and Upgrades

Enthusiasts can fit aftermarket items to improve traction, acceleration or aesthetics. The battery mounts longitudinally for quick access, which is convenient for swapping packs during practice or friendly races.

Tamiya's Grasshopper II Black Edition offers a nostalgic build that is friendly to new kit builders yet flexible enough for experienced modders to personalise.
