Tamiya 57746 XB the Grasshopper: a finished 2WD buggy with classic construction and display intent

The XB the Grasshopper arrives as a fully finished 2WD off-road buggy built around a resilient ABS resin tub chassis and a pre-painted monocoque body. The Expert Built approach removes the assembly barrier while retaining the model's mechanical character: a sealed rear gearbox, a front swing-axle independent arrangement, and a rear rigid mounting with coil spring describe the basic motion architecture hobbyists will find familiar.

Chassis, drivetrain and mechanical character

The model uses a bathtub-style ABS frame that offers impact resistance and simple service access for drive components. A sealed rear gearbox protects the bevel and spur gearing and preserves the gear differential during typical off-road use. The front employs a swing-axle type independent layout while the rear relies on a rigid mounting assisted by a coil spring. Wheel construction is a three-piece style to improve visual realism and the tyre choice pairs wide high-grip rear tyres with grooved front tyres for predictable handling on mixed surfaces.

Finish, presentation and collector appeal

The body is pre-painted with stickers applied, and the package includes a finished driver figure and a redesigned display box that complements shelf presentation. The Expert Built format targets hobbyists who want a ready-to-display model that still reflects the original Grasshopper silhouette and mechanical layout.

Who this model suits

This product is aimed at hobbyists who prefer a completed, display-ready model with authentic mechanical details rather than a blank kit to build from scratch. It also appeals to collectors seeking a faithful, factory-finished example of a classic two-wheel-drive buggy.
