XB the Grasshopper 57746 by Tamiya - Finished 1/10 2WD Buggy  [57746]

Finished XB the Grasshopper (Tamiya 57746) — classic two-wheel-drive, factory completed

The XB the Grasshopper is supplied as a completed 2WD off-road buggy, constructed around a resilient ABS resin tub chassis and a pre-painted monocoque shell. The Expert Built approach removes the need to assemble while retaining the model's essential mechanical traits: a sealed rear gearbox, a front swing-axle independent arrangement, and a coil-sprung rear on a rigid mounting that hobbyists will recognise.

Chassis, drivetrain and mechanical character

The bathtub-style ABS frame offers robustness and simple access to drive components. A sealed rear gearbox protects the bevel and spur gearing and keeps the gear differential intact during normal use. The front uses a swing-axle independent layout and the rear is rigid-mounted with a coil spring. Wheels are constructed in three pieces for realism, and the tyre selection pairs broad high-grip rear rubber with grooved front tyres to promote predictable handling across mixed surfaces.

Finish, presentation and collector appeal

The body comes pre-painted with stickers already applied; a finished driver figure and an updated display box are included to enhance presentation. The Expert Built format is intended for those who want a ready-to-display model that still reflects the original Grasshopper lines and mechanical setup.

Who this model suits

This product is aimed at hobbyists who prefer a finished, display-ready model with authentic mechanical features rather than a kit to assemble from scratch, and collectors seeking a faithful factory-completed version of a classic 2WD buggy.

The Tamiya XB the Grasshopper 57746 offers the classic buggy in finished form: mechanically honest, display-ready, and aimed at hobbyists and collectors who value period-correct detail without undertaking a build.
