Description
This is a plastic model assembly kit of a high-performance racer that uses shaft-driven four-wheel drive, the main player in the buggy boom that has finally become a Mini 4WD
. Released in 1984, it led the RC buggy boom of the 1980s. Grasshopper is an icon of Tamiya RC that has been loved for 40 years since its introduction.
Grasshopper Jr. is a Mini 4WD version of that simple form and light running that retains the RC atmosphere.

Not only does it have a slim style that resembles a real single-seater buggy, but it also realistically reproduces the fog lights and front suspension, and a driver figure is set in the cockpit surrounded by a roll bar.
The grasshopper mark, the "The GRASSHOPPER TEAM" logo, and the number plate are provided as stickers.
The VZ chassis is small and lightweight, and has elements suitable for practical use.
Not only does it have high combat power, but the attractive finish that is full of RC atmosphere is sure to attract attention.
[VZ chassis with strength and expandability] The
VZ chassis is a refined version of the popular VS chassis, which is small, lightweight, and has a short wheelbase, and is also used in races.
While retaining the excellent features of the VS chassis, such as maneuverability and ease of maintenance, the strength of the bumper, rear stay base, propeller shaft bearing, etc. has been increased. Another key point is the moderate "flexibility" that absorbs shocks.
In addition to the rear roller stays, the front bumper can also be separated. The freedom of setting has also been greatly improved.
The shaft bearings use 620 plastic bearings made of POM resin with low friction resistance.
Both the chassis body and A parts such as the gear cover are made of black ABS resin. The gear ratio is set to 4.2:1.
