Let It All Begin With This One Buggy
Based on 1-seater buggies seen tearing-up dirt tracks across the U.S. in the
80's, the Grasshopper first made its appearance in R/C stores in 1984. Boasting
easy assembly and easy control, the lightweight Grasshopper proved an instant
hit as the perfect entry level R/C kit. Also compatible with a whole range of
option parts such as 540 motor and ball bearings, the Grasshopper was an entry
level car that could keep up with the owners driving experience. Packed with all
the fantastic features of the original kit, this fun 2WD buggy is a blast on
both off-road and on-road tracks. Whether it was your first or will be your
first, the Grasshopper guarantees to please.
The perfect combination of simple assembly and tough exterior is what made
the Grasshopper so special. Durable plastic body is fastened to bathtub resin monocoque chassis by screws, creating a solid frame that can absorb any type of
rough handling. Off-road tracks can be tackled with ease thanks to coil spring
dampers, and independent swing axle front and rigid axle rear suspension. Diff
loaded sealed gearbox keeps out the dirt and stones for smooth driving and
cornering. Paddle style rear tires and grooved front tires combine with 3-piece
assembly type wheels for excellent grip performance on dirt tracks. Half-body
driver figure adds that finishing touch to a fun off-road R/C car.
