Classic Roots Meet the Black Edition

The Tamiya Grasshopper has been a favourite among RC fans since its 1984 debut. This Tamiya 84416 - 1/10 Grasshopper I Black Edition keeps the original spirit while updating the look and durability for today's hobbyists.

Black Shell With Practical Durability

The Black Edition keeps the Grasshopper silhouette intact and uses tough black ABS for the body, so painting is optional. The moulded shell is built to take knocks from off-road running without needing extra prep.

Simple 2WD Chassis That Lasts

This kit centres on a straightforward 2WD monocoque chassis that handles rough use well. Front independent swing axles and a rigid rear axle give predictable handling and stability for new builders and seasoned drivers alike.

Streetwise Power and Traction

Fitted with a 380-brushed motor, the Grasshopper I Black Edition delivers reliable, easy-to-maintain power. Fluorescent yellow wheels sit on paddle rear tyres and grooved fronts to help get traction on loose surfaces, making it suited to backyard runs and dirt circuits.
