RC fans who remember the original Grasshopper will appreciate this playful revival. Tamiya returns with the Comical Grasshopper mounted on the WR-02CB platform, blending vintage character with a chassis known for durable off-road performance.
The WR-02CB demonstrates Tamiya engineering with a strong monocoque frame and an inline battery layout that helps keep weight centred for predictable handling. Its 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and oil-filled CVA shock units soak up bumps, making it a steady performer on dirt and gravel tracks.
The polycarbonate shell echoes the original styling and arrives with decal options for a retro finish. Headlight housings are fitted for optional 5mm LEDs so you can add illumination, while the included driver figure adds personality. Updated 2-piece wheels and tyre profiles improve traction and stability out on the trail.
Power comes from a 540-type brushed motor paired with an electronic speed controller for smooth throttle response, suitable for newcomers and experienced builders. To run the kit you will need a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2-volt round battery pack.
The Tamiya Comical Grasshopper 58662 mixes nostalgic styling with a rugged WR-02CB undercarriage, making it a great pick for collectors who also want to get outside and drive.
