dannymulder 766 Posted February 11, 2019 Hello I am new here. I started 3 years ago with the hobby, the first car that I bought was a grasshopper, I bought that car because a know the tamiya brand from my childhood, and because it was not expensive to try out of I like the hobby. And yes I like it alot, then I bought a second car Tamiya wt-01 and before I know I was hooked, the first 2 years I bought 16 rc cars and a lot of hopups and other rc stuff,spend a lot of money. The past year I decided to slow things down and not want to buy all the bargians, I sold 5 rc cars and trow away 2 cars in the bin after I get al the useful parts out of them. The cars that I own now are a grasshopper, wt-01,sand scorcher, boomerang, gf-01 dumptruck, cc-01, zahhak, and a serpent spider srx2 short course truck and a big 1/8 basher nitro circus mt monster truck. the cars that I sold are 2 tt-01, xv-01, dt-02 holiday buggy, and a cc-01. Fore some years I am reading this forum and it helpt me with some issues and nice mods, for some cars have some mods and fixes that I like to share with you guys, thats why I jioned this forum now. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yalson 514 Posted February 11, 2019 Hi! I'm not the oldest hand here, but welcome nonetheless! Sounds like ypu have quite the garage. What model Grasshopper was it, a I or a II? I had a a GHI as my first car over thirty years ago, but I am currently rebuilding a GHII. You can't go wrong with them, really. I think they're great cars.

Would that have been a Marui CJ7 Eagle? If so, that is quite a coincidence as my first car was a Grasshopper I, followed shortly afterwards by a Marui Toyota Land Cruiser, which was identical to the CJ7 apart from the body. Looks like I was away from the hobby for about the same length of time, too. I still have a lot of the racing gear I had back in the day, but rather than ruin potentially valuable vintage equipment teaching myself to drive again, I have started from scratch with a GH2 chassis that has been kicking around in my garage for the last 25 years or so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
