Tamiya's 47471 RC Kit builds a 1/10 scale 2WD Grasshopper II buggy in a striking all-black Black Edition finish. This is a plastic assembly kit, not a ready-to-run model — you build the radio control buggy yourself from the ground up, which makes it well suited to hobbyists who enjoy the construction process as much as the driving. The Grasshopper II is a classic Tamiya design, and the Black Edition gives the familiar chassis a bold, uniform look that sets it apart from the standard release. Once assembled, the buggy is at home on smooth dirt, compacted gravel, and light off-road surfaces typical of backyard or club track use.
Key Features
- Assembly kit format — you build the 1/10 scale RC buggy from individual components, making it a rewarding project for builders aged 10 and up with some model-making experience.
- Classic Grasshopper II 2WD buggy platform with rear-wheel drive, a proven layout that keeps the build straightforward and the handling predictable.
- Black Edition livery applies a uniform black colour scheme to the body and components, distinguishing this release from the standard Grasshopper II.
- Tamiya's kit engineering means parts are precisely moulded and fit together accurately, with step-by-step illustrated instructions included to guide the build.
- Compatible with standard Tamiya hop-up parts and accessories designed for the Grasshopper II platform, giving room to develop the model further after the initial build.
