This edition includes an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), making it a more complete starting point than the standard kit. The Grasshopper has been a favourite introduction to RC building for decades — this Black Edition gives it a fresh look while keeping the straightforward assembly that makes it so accessible to first-time builders. As a kit rather than a ready-to-run model, you'll need to assemble it yourself, which is a big part of the appeal for anyone wanting to learn how RC cars go together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/10 scale rear-wheel-drive buggy design based on the classic Tamiya Grasshopper platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack Edition body and components give the model a distinctive monochrome appearance compared to the standard release\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), removing the need to source one separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraightforward assembly process makes this a well-suited first build for newcomers to RC kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-road buggy chassis handles light off-road surfaces including grass, gravel, and dirt tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTamiya 47522 The Grasshopper Black Edition kit (unassembled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectronic Speed Controller (ESC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDecal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteering servo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRC transmitter and receiver (2-channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotor (540-size recommended for this platform)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrive battery pack (typically 6-cell NiMH or compatible LiPo — check manual for specification)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible battery charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBasic modelling tools for assembly (screwdrivers, pliers, hobby knife)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolycarbonate or body paint if you wish to customise the shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49048454168813,"sku":"TAM47522","price":221.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2194\/5657\/files\/TAM47522_A1_QEBCCI4J.jpg?v=1765145411","url":"https:\/\/www.hobby-city.com.au\/products\/tamiya-47522-1-10-the-grasshopper-black-edtn-incl-esc","provider":"Hobby City NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
