Please note this is an unassembled kit requiring construction; it ships as a build-it-yourself kit and does not come pre-assembled or Ready-To-Run. Boasting genuinely easy assembly and easy control, the lightweight Grasshopper remains a perfect first R\/C build, whether it's your first kit ever or your first in years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA durable plastic body is fastened to a bathtub resin monocoque chassis by screws, creating a solid frame that shrugs off rough handling. Off-road tracks are no problem thanks to coil spring dampers along with independent swing axle front suspension and rigid axle rear suspension, while a diff-loaded sealed gearbox keeps dirt and stones out for smooth driving and cornering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaddle-style rear tyres paired with grooved front tyres and 3-piece assembly-type wheels deliver excellent grip on dirt tracks, and a half-body driver figure adds the finishing scale touch. The kit is also compatible with a range of option parts, including oil dampers, a 540 motor and ball bearings, letting the car grow alongside the driver's experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/10 scale R\/C model assembly kit (unassembled, requires construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic 1-seater dirt buggy styling, first released in 1984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable plastic body fastened to a bathtub resin monocoque chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent swing axle front suspension, rolling rigid axle rear suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil spring friction dampers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed rear gearbox protects diff gear during off-road running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-piece assembly wheels with straight ribbed racing front tyres and paddle rear tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf-body driver figure included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis compatible with optional 540-type motor, oil dampers, and ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnassembled 1\/10 scale Grasshopper kit components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e380-type motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-piece assembly wheels with tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf-body driver figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You'll Need\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-channel radio system with ESC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering servo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible battery pack and charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall bearings for front\/rear axles (optional upgrade, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e540-type motor (optional upgrade, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic modeling tools for assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grasshopper has introduced generations of hobbyists to R\/C for a reason: it's simple to build, forgiving to drive, and tough enough to handle a beginner's learning curve on and off the dirt.
