Tamiya Comical Grasshopper

The original Grasshopper needs little introduction. It was a Tamiya legend which inspired legions of fans since the 1980s. For many, it was their very first introduction into the world of radio control assembly kits. The original Grasshopper is still among Tamiya’s best-selling kits to this day. Now the legend is re-imagined as the Comical Grasshopper, with a new body inspired by the famous original. The re-imagined body sits on a new and dedicated variant of the proven off-road chassis, the WR-02CB.

Infinity IF14 Titanium & Aluminium screw set 

Infinity has released a weight saving 85 piece titanium and aluminium screw set for their IF14 Electric Touring Car. Weighing in at around 19g, the set is 50% lighter than the kit’s standard steel screws. The titanium screws included in the set are for the lower chassis plate where strength is most important with the aluminium screws intended for use where low centre of gravity and the lightest possible weight is advantageous. In addition, the aluminium screws optimise the chassis balance and flexibility. The screw set is offered in two colour options with the aluminium screws available in black or red.
