Tamiya RC cars
Youtube Video:
Classic RC cars designed in the 1980's, still available today as
RTR (ready to run) or build it yourself from a kit!
The Grasshopper:
Based on 1-seater buggies seen tearing-up dirt tracks across the U.S. in the 80's,
the Grasshopper first made its appearance in R/C stores in 1984. Boasting easy assembly
and easy control, the lightweight Grasshopper proved an instant hit as the perfect
entry level R/C kit. Also compatible with a whole range of option parts such as
540 motor and ball bearings, the Grasshopper was an entry level car that could keep
up with the owners driving experience. Packed with all the fantastic features of
the original kit, this fun 2WD buggy is a blast on both off-road and on-road tracks.
Whether it was your first or will be your first, the Grasshopper guarantees to please.

The Hornet:
The revolutionary 1984 2WD off-road buggy is back and more fun than ever before!
The Hornet stands as one of Tamiya's most popular R/C cars ever released, helping
launch a 2WD R/C buggy boom worldwide. Featuring excellent performance on both dirt
and on-road tracks, this awesome buggy can take on any type of terrain. Just like
the original, this re-release features an easy to assemble chassis and drivetrain
consisting of a durable but lightweight ABS resin bathtub frame, diff gear loaded
sealed gearbox, oil filled rear dampers, powerful RS 540 motor and high performance
suspension system. The Hornet is perfect for those that used to have one, those
that have always wanted one, and for those that want a revolutionary buggy
that has earned its place in R/C history.

The Frog:
First introduced in 1983, the 2WD racing buggy Frog made a huge splash with its
eye-catching design and high performance running. The Frog now makes a comeback,
updated for a new age, but with its basic structure essentially unchanged.
Preserving its characteristic space frame, the oil dampers for trailing-arm type
rear suspension have been updated to diaphragm type. Rear drive shaft features
dogbone type joint for secure power transmission. Sleek polycarbonate body remains
the same, while 3-piece wheels feature front grooved and
rear spike tires for excellent off-road running.

The Lunchbox:
Another one of Tamiya's classic creations, the R/C Lunch Box (1st released, 1987)
was loved for its camp appearance as much as for its R/C performance. The boxy minivan
body raised up over monster truck wheels ensure that this R/C van will get attention
anywhere you choose to drive it. Use the sides of the van as a canvas to paint your
own original designs for the ultimate conversation piece!
