Heritage Meets Modern RC

If you grew up with the original Grasshopper, the XB version revives that spirit with practical upgrades. This Ready-to-Run Tamiya 57746 XB Grasshopper keeps the classic looks while adding improved durability and user-friendly features for drivers at any skill level.

Classic Style With Practical Upgrades

The Tamiya 57746 XB Grasshopper blends nostalgia with sensible updates. Its ABS bathtub frame is tough enough for weekend trails and the pre-painted shell with factory stickers saves setup time. A mix of plastic and metal bearings helps the drivetrain stay reliable under regular use.

Power Delivery and Chassis Control

Powered by a 380 electric motor, this buggy provides steady acceleration for casual off-road running. The sealed rear gearbox protects the differential from grit and the combination of front swing axle and rear rigid suspension with coil springs gives predictable handling. Wider high-grip rear tires and grooved fronts improve traction across gravel and dirt.

Box-Ready Running

The model ships with an Expec SP radio and TEU-101 speed controller so you can get moving with minimal assembly. Batteries are not included, but the simple setup makes the Tamiya 57746 XB Grasshopper a solid pick for newcomers who want quick, reliable performance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive Type: 2WD
  • Motor: 380 Electric Motor
  • Suspension: Front swing axle, rear rigid with coil spring
  • Body Material: ABS resin
  • R/C Unit: Expec SP with TEU-101 ESC

This XB Grasshopper balances easy operation with the look and feel collectors remember, making it a practical choice for both new pilots and seasoned hobbyists.

Assembly is minimal since the model is RTR. You will need to fit batteries and perform basic radio setup before the first run.
Standard NiMH or compatible LiPo packs sized for 1/10 scale will fit the tray, but check connector types and voltage limits for the TEU-101 ESC.
Upgrading to oil-filled shocks, a higher torque servo, and stickier tyres will noticeably improve cornering and stability on rough surfaces.
Keep the gearbox sealed and clean by avoiding water immersion, check gear mesh periodically, and relube gears with light grease after heavy use.
