    I came across a Super Hornet I had in the garage for about 25yrs, I did a little research, and thought I would clean it up and put it all back together. Only because after watching your video's, this is still a really cool hobby! Thanks I think your channel is great as well!

    I painted my Frog green instead of pink back in the day. I painted the wheels green too. My cousin had the Frog also. He painted it like the box. All the other kids would say was he driving a girls car.

    What ever happened to brush painting the body like I did back in the day? Have you tried score and snap on the lexan?

    Do you reclean the inside after removing the first mask and before applying the next colour? Or do you use specific tape that leaves no residue/glue? I'm about to start a top force rere 35 years since my only other car, the grasshopper. P.s. what hopups should I do before I even run it? I did already order a super stock bz motor and an aluminum drive shaft... Please and thank you

    Brought a Frog 2 years ago and sold it...now I want another.
    Would you buy a Hornet and Grasshopper?.
    Some people I have spoken to say they break really easily.
    I am looking at buying the Green Edition Grasshopper as it is like my KAWASAKI ZZR1400 in colour.
