Hopped-up 'Hopper

I never had one of these when I was a kid. There, I said it. I was into the road cars back then, and it was only after wrecking three against the kerbs, drains and 1:1 cars that I considered the practicality of running on-road RC. I bought this as a standard, tired Grasshopper in the early 00s, and slowly and organically it evolved into this, through bits off of a Hornet, an Academy (I think) thingy and a re-release shell. The most significant modification on this car is the front suspension - it has adjustable upper links which allow the front wheels to maintain a constant camber angle to the ground when compressed. It also has some nice little oil shocks. CRP? The rear has a stabiliser and a plate which locks the vertical movement of the front pivot on the gearbox. To be honest, I'm not sure if this benefits the handling, I guess the designer was trying to reduce the mad bounce this car has. I always found those little pin springs inside the front hinge much too weak anyway, and this does away with them. I have some rear shocks to match the fronts, but the springs are too hard - it makes it bounce even more. So instead I fitted some Hornet shocks. Other specs include MSC (I'm cheap), 540 silver can and Troll rear tyres. I nearly sold this car along with the others, but it's too special. Instead I've resolved to run it more.
