Despite them being after my time I've taken a strong liking to the Grasshopper II family. I fell hard for the Super Hornet and have two of those and really wanted a Super G to complement them.

When the GH2 Black Edition came out with its CVA dampers it seemed like a good base for a clone.

It's a little more involved than I had thought though:
9225152 and 9225153 yellow CVAs
Carson steel pinion
LRP GT-1 Turbo motor
JC Racing repro dayglo yellow wheels
Super Shot rear tyres
54896 2WD Front Rib-Spike tyres
Grasshopper II re-release decals supplemented with MCI Racing sponsor decals

The Wild Willy driver was inspired by a build I saw on Instagram. But as usual, he improves every vehicle he's put in.
