About The Grasshopper
Pre-Painted Hard Body
The ABS body comes pre-painted in candy green and is ready to receive your selected decals. The body also allows for depictions of a roll cage and large light pods. Experienced hobby enthusiasts will love the attention to detail added around driver figure while entry level enthusiasts will love the ease of assembly.
Performance Drivetrain
The perfect combination of simple assembly and tough exterior is what made the Grasshopper so special. The durable plastic body is fastened to the bathtub resin monocoque chassis by screws, creating a solid frame that can absorb any type of rough handling. Off-road tracks can be tackled with ease thanks to coil spring dampers, and independent swing axle front and rigid axle rear suspension. A sealed gearbox keeps the dirt and stones out of the differential and gears for smooth driving and cornering. Paddle style rear tires and grooved front tires combined with 3-piece assembly type wheels provide excellent grip on dirt tracks.
Included Electronics
This kit includes a potent Hobbywing 1060 Brushed ESC and a 380-size brushed motor. The compact ESC boasts extreme performance, complemented by a built-in capacitor module for efficient power delivery. With exceptional current endurance capability, easily configurable parameters using ESC jumpers, and automatic throttle range calibration for user-friendly setup, the Quicrun 1060 stands out. Its impressive built-in BEC output capacity, built-in capacitor, and IP-67 waterproof rating further elevate its reliability, making it a top-tier choice for enthusiasts seeking optimal performance in their RC adventures.
