About the 1/32 Grasshopper Jr. Black Special Kit
Classic Style Reimagined
Created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Grasshopper, this model faithfully scales down the buggy's distinctive slim body and molds it in tinted smoke ABS plastic for a striking appearance. The compact and lightweight VZ chassis delivers a balance of durability and adaptability thanks to reinforced structural components and a design that supports future setup changes. Low-friction plastic bearings help maximize drive efficiency, while ABS chassis components add visual appeal. Twelve-spoke wheels paired with super hard low-profile tires provide an eye-catching contrast, and updated stickers complete the authentic look of this commemorative release.
