The classic Grasshopper makes its way to the X-SA (Expert-Semi-Assembled) series, offering an all-around, fun 2WD R/C driving experience!
About the X-SA series
Kits are a big part of what Tamiya does, but they also understand that some people may not have the time or confidence for the assembly of an R/C model – that is they introduced the X-SA (Expert-Semi-Assembled) line of models. Each product features a fully-assembled and setup chassis with the Tamiya TEU-105BK ESC (electronic speed control) included, plus a fully painted body with the marking stickers already applied. All you need to do is provide the R/C equipment and battery pack, install it, and you’re ready to drive.
• 1/10 scale finished R/C model. Length: 389mm, width: 223mm, height: 135mm.
• Features a realistic and durable styrene body, which comes with the classic Grasshopper (2005) stickers already applied.
• Simple, yet tough, 2WD chassis that can absorb plenty of rough terrain.
• The sealed gearbox contains a differential for smooth driving and cornering, enhanced by paddle tread rear and grooved front tires on three-piece assembly type wheels.
• Capable suspension uses independent swing axle front and rigid axle rear setups, cushioned by coil-sprung dampers.
• Comes with the TEU-105BK ESC.
• Requires separately sold: 2-channel radio, steering servo, and 7.2volt battery pack and compatible charger.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.

Ross Brown –
My original grasshopper which I was gifted back in the 90s was in a poor state. So, I decided that I would purchase a re-release version, and found there to be an XSA (pre-built version). This is perfect for me, as with kids & work I have far less time on my hands. The build quality is far better than anything an amateur like me could achieve, as proved when compared to my 90’s version (built by me).
