Heritage Styling With a Durable Finish

The Grasshopper has been a staple in RC culture since 1984. This Tamiya 84416 - 1/10 Grasshopper I Black Edition keeps that iconic silhouette while using a tough black ABS shell that skips the painting step.

Original Looks, Updated Build

The Black Edition preserves the classic lines of the Grasshopper and uses moulded black ABS material to resist scuffs and light impacts, making it low maintenance for regular running.

Robust Yet Simple Chassis Layout

Its straightforward 2WD monocoque chassis is built to take knocks and stay serviceable. The independent swing axle at the front and a rigid axle at the rear give stable handling across varied surfaces.

Functional Running Gear

Powered by a 380-brushed motor, the buggy gives dependable drive for casual bashing. Bright yellow wheels are fitted with paddle rear tyres and grooved fronts to help with traction on loose soil and grass.

Assembly time varies, but many hobbyists complete the kit over a few evenings, depending on experience and whether optional painting is done.
No. The Black Edition body comes moulded in black ABS so painting is optional, which speeds up build and reduces prep work.
A standard 7.2V stick-type battery pack and a compatible charger are commonly used to power this kit for balanced runtime and compatibility.
It handles loose and grassy surfaces well thanks to the paddle rear tyres, but avoid deep salt water and very fine sand to prevent corrosion and abrasion.
Common spares like tyres, wheels and body parts are generally available through Tamiya dealers and hobby stores, with aftermarket options if needed.
