Here is my Grasshopper Re-release it has been significantly upgraded from the box 380 motor to a tamiya tuned 11t X3!!! In a straight line it fly’s (sometimes literally) but as soon as you try and corner it just slides!!! I still have to paint the driver and the mirrors!


I was going to keep this NIB until the summer but when I decided I would go to the clumber meet on the 14th I decide I would build it and have some fun with it there!


I took it on a test run today and it seems to be OK I won’t use it now until the 14th now. (because if I do I will break it.


Comments welcome!

That lovely motor Oh it has a name Just about the best action shot ALL OTHERS BLURED Not really that muddy afterwards

Guess you have a fast GH there! I´ll be putting a Sporttuned or a SuperStock in mine. Did you paint the shell, as i´m thinking of leaving mine unpainted as it´s white anyway.

I didn't paint the shell! I still have to paint the lights and the driver. (I have sanded it and filled it though!)
