Grasshopper Reimagined in Candy Green

The Tamiya Grasshopper has earned its place as an entry-level staple that introduces hobbyists to kit assembly. This Candy Green release keeps the classic lines while offering a pre-finished ABS body that looks great straight out of the box.

Key Features of the Candy Green Model

Sporting a vivid Candy Green paint job, this edition preserves the original layout that helps learners focus on basic setup. The 2WD RWD configuration and solid rear axle paired with independent front suspension deliver predictable handling. The included TEU-105BK ESC and 380-brushed motor give you the essentials to get driving after assembly.

Building Process and Ride Characteristics

Building the Grasshopper teaches practical skills like parts identification and suspension assembly. The plastic chassis and tough ABS body are straightforward to maintain, and the rubber pin spike tyres offer traction on grass, gravel and hard-packed surfaces for casual off-road outings.

Where It Fits Among Entry Kits

Against other beginner buggies, the Grasshopper stands out for its straightforward construction and nostalgic appeal. Its fixed gear ratio and adjustable front toe make it easy to learn vehicle dynamics before moving on to more complex platforms.

This Tamiya Grasshopper Candy Green Edition gives new builders a low-stress introduction to RC kits while offering collectors a neat, period-correct model that performs well on varied surfaces.

Basic screwdrivers, pliers and side cutters are sufficient for most of the build, with a small wrench set useful for final adjustments.
The Candy Green body arrives pre-painted, so no additional painting is required unless you want to personalise the finish.
You can retrofit brushless systems, but check space and gearing changes first. The stock layout is built around a 380-brushed motor and the included ESC.
