Tamiya Grasshopper - Beginner Build Series - Part 2 - Assembling the Gearbox

This is part 2 of a beginner build series for the Tamiya Grasshopper. This video is designed to be a slow and detailed overview of the build process by going over each step in detail as we put together the gearbox. In future videos the build will go faster, but initially we will take a slow pace to help you understand, and figure out, the build process of Tamiya products. I hope this helps you with your Grasshopper build and with other Tamiya products you may choose to purchase.

Thank your not quietly handling those bags and giving us all those great plastic bag sounds that we love so much for 30 seconds at at time

Great job with supplying a complete build guide, like a full on 'this is why this is the way it is' tutorial!

I just picked up a Candy Green Grasshopper from Japan for 64 AUD. I also got the bearings which is a must and I used HUDY super diff grease plus a set or rear Hornet tyre. Once the Hornet Evo comes out I will see if I can mod the shocks it looks like you can.

Excellent video and instructions. On my first hide it runned well for 5 minutes and gear box failed. I put it back again. It's is working! Haven't test on street yet. it seems that plastic gears até frágil. Any ideas for upgrades? Thx

You didn't grease the 3 little pins on the differential, plus that separate stepped pin.

just got this kit. noticed in your video and in my kit that there is an extra gear in the gear bag which is not either in the instructions or used in your video. is this gear not used?

Thank you for these videos. I cannot align the halves of the gearbox to screw them in place. Something is making them not fitting flushed. Any advice? This is my first kit built. Thank you.
