Tamiya Grasshopper type-1

A homemade racing Grasshopper which has double wishbone IRS.
I keep modifying it as a all-terrain multi-purpose R/C car.

how fast can stock grasshoppers go?

[civicferio1]

Thank you for a comment, I think stock Grasshopper must be faster than mine runs straight if it sets same motor because it is lighter more than 100g than mine and it has no joints on its axles.

But, it might overturn at every corner if it doesn't make slowdown enough.

I started in this hobby in 1984 with a Grasshopper, which I still have and run often. I love the little buggy, but yours is the coolest Grasshopper I've ever seen! Nice job modding it out (and nice driving in the video, too)!

1:35 You gotta love how it handles the corners just as well as the on-street in front of it! :D

@MPDLR all you need to do is charge the batteries and put them in the car.

Are you running the 380 motor in this or one of the 540 hop up motors?

[MPDLR]

Does RTR ready to race mean that NO assembly is required? Thanks
