Tamiya 58346 - Retro 1/10 Grasshopper off-road kit (2005 style)  [58346]

Classic Buggy Roots Meet Practical RC Design

Get into RC with the Tamiya Grasshopper 58346, a model inspired by the 1980s single-seater buggies that still appeals to hobbyists. Its straightforward engineering makes it accessible to new builders while offering a platform that experienced modders can tune for better track performance.

Build-Friendly and Customisable

The Grasshopper is known for its uncomplicated assembly process, ideal for those new to kit builds. It also accepts common upgrades, such as replacing the stock 380 motor with a 540 and adding ball bearings for reduced friction and improved longevity.

Durable Chassis for Rough Runs

The bathtub resin monocoque chassis and robust plastic bodywork cope well with off-road use. Coil spring dampers and an independent front swing axle help maintain control on uneven ground, and the sealed gearbox reduces maintenance by keeping debris out.

All-Day Fun with Vintage Character

Paddle rear tyres and grooved fronts deliver solid grip on dirt and grass, while the half-body driver figure adds authentic period charm. The Grasshopper is built for enjoyable bashing sessions and straightforward upgrades.

Tamiya 58346 offers a dependable, low-cost entry into classic buggy builds with genuine scope for tuning and upgrades.
