Tamiya Comical Grasshopper WR-02CB

Tamiya Comical Grasshopper WR-02CB

Tamiya’s Chibi-style vehicles (like Wild Willy, Honda City Turbo, Suzuki Jimny Wheelie) are super cool and uniquely Japanese, and we’re loving how the “super deformed” look translates to the Comical Grasshopper. This super-short-wheelbase buggy is built for wheelie-popping fun, and it’s a no-stress spec class waiting to happen. Expect a street price of about $180, with kits hitting stores on October.

From Tamiya:
The original Grasshopper needs little introduction. It was a Tamiya legend which inspired legions of fans since the 1980s. For many, it was their very first introduction into the world of radio control assembly kits. The original Grasshopper is still among Tamiya’s best-selling kits to this day. Now the legend is re-imagined as the Comical Grasshopper, with a new body inspired by the famous original. The re-imagined body sits on a new and dedicated variant of the proven off-road chassis: the WR-02CB.
