Tamiya Mini 4wd 18105 The Grasshopper Jr. (VZ Chassis)

The Grasshopper, which first made its debut as a 1/10 scale R/C kit in 1984, now appears as The Grasshopper Jr. in the Racing Mini 4WD Series on the VZ chassis to celebrate the 40th anniversary. Carried over from the 1/10 R/C kit, this kit has The Grasshopper’s slim form inspired by a 1-seater buggy and features a color scheme with green and red lines on a white base.
