Hi Sven, since Tamiya re-issued the Grasshopper last year all spares are available from model shops and ebay relatively cheap, e.g. chassis £9, tires £5. If the receiver antenna is broken you will need a new Receiver, appx. £10, battery box and switch appx. £5 from any model shop.I completely stripped-down mine, gave it a thorough clean and rebuilt using new parts where required and installed ball bearings to replace the worn plastic bearings. I'd also recommend a 540 motor in place of the rather slow standard 380.
I bought all my parts on ebay, seems to be the cheapest place.
Hope that helps and good luck.
