  1. actually the rear suspension is from a traxxas street sport... yes crp front end... stock 540 can motor... updated electrics (esc and such) the resistor isnt hooked up its just there to help maintain the stock hopper look. handling and speed is much improved as is the runtime (direct drive gearing)
  2. some of you aren't familiar with the grasshopper I guess... I was under the impression EVERYONE had one at some time or another like I did lol... they were quite popular back in the day. anyway I converted the entire car to independent suspension... while trying my best to keep it looking as box stock as possible... there's been a lot more done to it than it appears... including some styrene work to rebuild the entire area around the front shock towers and where the old motor cutout used to be on the rear passenger side. then a full repaint and the factory stickers... I even painted the guy and the rollbars this time it's finished and rtr btw... and with basically pan-car gearing ( it only has a pinion and a spur with a ball diff in the center of the spur) you can bet it flies! front suspension is modified CRP for FX10 and the rear is from a Traxxas street sport. modded as well
  3. sure you can steal my it lol... thats how I got it too
  4. so I got this brand new grasshopper kit in a trade... I decided to try something with it... see if you guys can figure out what I did before I explain it
  5. well I finally did it... I bought an airbrush setup and I'm learning to use it after soo many years of using rattle cans... this is my first attempt ever using this thing and I think I did pretty good
  6. lets hope this is a sign that they will redo the sand scorcher as well!!!
  7. thanks guys body :HPI wheels and tires : parma chassis: parma and myself (I made the front suspension system)
  8. modified parma chassis... 12 turn, 4200 nmh. chassis pics
  9. whats the best size pinion gear for a mamba 5700 in a TBO2 chassis? anyone tried this combo yet?
  10. found a use for that pesky axial AX10 crawler body that I never even mounted on my axial crawler when I got it... a little trimming and moving around of the rear fenders and some well placed decals and walla!!! the bumper is a tamiya pajero unit btw.
  11. here's my updated version a little tuning done... I didn't want to go overboard with it... just a little modern influence but still that old school 240z.
  12. thanks guys I parked in the wrong neighborhood and the wheels and tires got stolen lol...jk... this is just a cool shot of the suspension and chassis setup I wanted to share...
  13. just got a vintage r/c 10 and I'd like to dye the white parts... must it be completely disasembled to be dyed or will the dye soak into all the little cracks and gaps on its own? also, anyone got a line on a stealth trans for one?
