Grasshopper lexan shell body mounts

[Meakz1973 36]

Hi guys,

I'm building a Grasshopper for my nephew's Christmas present. I'm using a Parma lexan shell so he doesnt scratch the hard body to pieces within a run or two.

I need certain body posts to mount this shell on the GH chassis, can anyone tell me specifically which posts I need to buy????? I've looked everywhere for this info.

Thanks!!

I believe Parma intends you to use the posts from a Hornet kit, or they assumed that you would only use their lexan GH body with a Hornet chassis.. I have one of their GH shells at home and can double check the instructions to make sure..

You will need the "D" parts from a Hornet kit to get the mounts. Specifically D4 & D5 for the rear mounts and D10 for the front mounts. Their installation is covered in steps 4 and 14 of the Hornet manual. There is a good chance that you might have to install the Hornet rear shock setup as well, so that everything fits correctly when the rear body shell mounts are installed..

I have never tried to mount the stock GH shocks to the Hornet rear mounts, so I am not sure if it will work..

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response.

I also emailed Parma and this is how they replied:

"The clear tube set #10450 is correct for it. It has instructions showing the chassis."

Thanks for the update. Parma referenced their own universal body mount kit that ironically looks to be made specifically for the GrassHopper chassis
