Tamiya Grasshopper frame

This is a 3D-printable chassis frame inspired by the legendary Tamiya Grasshopper. It has been slightly extended to fit larger LiPo battery packs, making it ideal for modern RC upgrades while preserving a vintage look. The design consists of two parts that can be securely bolted together for easy printing and assembly. It is intended to be compatible with both the Grasshopper I and Grasshopper II body shells. 🛠️ Printing Recommendations: Material: PETG (recommended for strength and flexibility) Walls: 6 perimeters/walls Infill: 80–100%, depending on your strength requirements Layer height: 0.2 mm recommended Use supports where needed (especially under screw holes or complex overhangs) 🔧 Assembly Notes: Some of the original screws from the Grasshopper kit may not be long enough due to the extended frame design. However, it’s easy to spot where a longer screw is needed during assembly — just keep a few spare M3 screws of various lengths on hand. ⚠️ Compatibility: Tested with Grasshoppe
