Sandhopper!
I haven't posted much here for a while, mainly because I haven't had as much time as I would like to get the buggies out anywhere interesting. I did take the Grasshopper out today though, so thought I would take the chance to take some (more) pictures of it playing on the beach. This thing couldn't be better designed for running on the sand, and the simple solid rear axle system doesn't spoil the handling at all in this environment. With the 380 motor supplied with the kit you can expect over an hour of running on each charge, which is a real bonus. Had great fun, as I always do with the Grasshopper on the beach, and I now remember why this is one of the best kits Tamiya has produced. Thanks for looking....

Evergreen buggy! I love every single screw and bit of plastic. You're right, on the sand its performance is at the best. Your is a nice looking buggy
