Just finished building the Grasshopper, I've built it with the stock 380 motor and shocks, only upgrade is the ballrace bearings, it went together with the usual Tamiya precision, even with the 380 motor it's fast enough for my old brain to keep up with, full throttle from standing start you can stand it on it's tail, this one is the re release of the the 80's hopper like the one I had back then, not the Grasshopper 2, I wasn't keen on the mk2's floating rear suspension imo it wasn't necessary plus I prefer the original body, the stock number is 35 but on models that have numbers on I put my age just to remind me why my knees ache and why I try not to drop things on the floor
well here it is if it's of any interest.
Joe.
