Tamiya 56714 TamTech-Gear The Grasshopper Mini GB-01S Chassis official product video



This is a compact R/C model featuring high-performance equipment for a great drive, as well as a lightweight single-seater buggy-inspired body molded in polycarbonate. Four separately sold R6/AA batteries give an hour of driving in normal mode or 25 minutes in power mode, and a trigger type transmitter is included.
GB-01S chassis
Based around a sturdy box frame, the GB-01S buggy chassis also features 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and punchy rear-wheel drive, with the power source along the chassis centerline for great balance and a low center of gravity. Its efficient gearbox uses full ball bearings and a planetary differential, plus a slipper clutch and reliable universal drive shafts.

This R/C kit recreates the classic Lotus Europa Special. The polycarbonate body is paired with the RWD M-06 chassis.
The Lotus Europa debuted in 1966, showcasing what was then a revolutionary midship engine layout, with a lightweight FRP body. In 1972 perhaps the finest model – Lotus Europa Special – in the series was released with 1.6-liter inline-4 engine (big valve twin-cam engine) capable of 126hp which was the largest maximum output among the Lotus Europa series. The Tamiya R/C kit faithfully captures this classic car down to rear wing as seen in the SPECIAL variant of the Europa.

Great RR Performance from the M-06
The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-drive setup and has a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, with R/C equipment positioned on either side for optimum balance and a low center of gravity. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension uses metal-plated wheels, equipped with 60D radial tires at the front and 60D super grip tires at the rear. In addition, a 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling response.

In order to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Waigo Hobby model Waigo Hobby and to thank customers for their support over the years, we deliberately cooperated with Tamiya to launch two mini 4WD limited products!
For the first time, the two limited products are equipped with the classic Tamiya Mini 4WD with a soft shell of carbon fiber pattern. I believe Tamiya fans will definitely feel its uniqueness!

Waigo 45th Anniversary Limited
The first limited product is “Thunder Shot Mk2 Waigo Hobby 45th Anniversary Special” (article number: 92429), with a carbon fiber patterned soft body shell and a fluorescent orange MS mid-mount chassis, plus a special TAMIYA The designed body stickers and dark blue tires are matched with a strong contrast. The rarity of its accessories is believed to be a favorite for car fans!

 

Tamiya China Hong Kong store limited
TAMIYA PLAMODEL FACTORY Hong Kong store limited product is “AVANTE Mk3 TAMIYA PLAMODEL FACTORY HONG KONG SPECIAL” (article number: 92430), which is designed to celebrate the opening of the TAMIYA PLAMODEL FACTORY store in Hong Kong. It also uses carbon fiber patterns. The soft shell body is equipped with a pure black MS chassis and transparent tires, plus a unique body sticker and transparent tires that show the ingenious design of the words “TAMIYA PLAMODEL FACTORY”, which is extraordinarily stylish!
