ChrisRx718 4464 Posted April 8, 2020 Aw c'mon, that's not what a Grasshopper is all about. It should mindlessly bounce everywhere but be seemingly indestructible Must let my kids have a go with mine, need to keep reminding myself that it only cost me £49...

It should mindlessly bounce everywhere but be seemingly indestructible I think to an extent it's a little bit like stereos. When you're a kid (in the eighties) and you're quite happy listening to Hair Metal on a tinny crock ghettoblaster, all is well with the world. This, I put it to you, is the Grasshopper. But then you get a little older, and maybe buy a cheap separates system, and realise that the difference is out of this world. You could never listen to the tinny ghettoblaster in the same way. This is the Inevitable Massive Upgrade. The Madcap, perhaps? The Super Astute? The (whisper it) Kyosho Ultima? It's incremental gains for ever increasing cash from then on, but that first paradigm jump is always the same. And there's a bit of you thinking - wouldn't it be coo alto have all the panache of the Grasshopper, but the handling of the Astute? badword yeah. I haven't decided what the RC equivalent of Hair Metal is though. Acoms? ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
