I got the grasshopper after I saw this vid.
thx for all the info :)
There are more coming. Sadly just haven’t had time to upload.
Cool video!!
I have grasshopper too.
It's nice RC.
I installed 540 torque tuned motor.
It's exciting more than normal motor.
I recommend it.
Certainly is more fun
Love that buggy, but what was your driving all about? Just what was that?🤣🤣🤣
Trouble is, purely picked wrong surface, wrong conditions. An should of waited, but hey it’s really a build video if anything
my favorite rc of all times
There a great little rc
Thank you
You're welcome
Can't wait to build mine out!
How u get on
Are those peel back decals or water slide ones? Thinking of getting a reissue Grasshopper or Hornet, but never had any experience with waterslide decals.
Peel back
What do you recommend as an ESC unit as well as transmitter/receiver combination? Also a good motor upgrade that will plug into the ESC?
I just purchased the kit and I am looking for options that will not cost a fortune.
Use the standard stuff with kit, just to get you going. Radio I use ec3. I think that’s what it’s called. Maybe ep3. Been a little while. So apologies I can’t recall.
As for esc an motor combo, well depends what you want out of it, the goul brushless set up for £30 ish, although a little cheap nasty, is not a bad bang for your buck,
If you want something sensible a hobby wing 1080 if I got the digits right is great, again could be 1060, ones a crawler esc other ones a basher type. As for the motor, anything lower then 21 turns will be a lot better then then the standard motor in this box
One of my favorites. A classic.
Why only 2 seconds of grasshopping time in the video?
This the bUild video, a running vid will come
Hi, I know this video is a few years old now but I’m currently looking at getting this kit, never done one before - can you help me out and let me know what extra bits I’ll need
, I.e will I need any glues, what are the paint codes etc. ? I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Your asking now, paint is just what I decided to do. More personal touch. Least that’s how I recall it to be, no glue, thou I do recommend using ur own grease an don’t be tight with it. Needs a servo an full radio system
This seems a lot smaller than mine back in about 1986. Who knows.
Same tooling. So it’s just you got bigger anything shrinks lol
Hi I built an original hornet when I was in my teens took me a weekend. I've currently got another original one but I've tried converting it using a ubec but have confused myself now at the age of 53 currently stuck on how to move forward. Nightmare!! I connect the battery up but it acts weird 💩 wondering if I'd be better off selling it all to someone who knows what they are doing and buying a new decent model. Already made.?? Any suggestions?
Personally buying old kits built is a no no, if your struggling now. A ready to run kit is great. But personally take it to a model-shop there sort it cheap and in next to know time, I’d happily assist, but ping pong messaging is so slow, and leads to further frustration usually
did it come with the remote, paint, and battery?
This kit didn’t. Rumoured Tamiya have done it. But I assume if honest just models shops actually adding extras needed on top of the kit. As I never seen a box that suggest anything but the kit alone.
Be careful thou as shop shops remove the esc and the kit price is cheaper then the average price.
@@rcoverland4459 thanks :)
What battery did you use
Do believe this was nimh 1800 unbranded. Lipo I have used were fconegy at time of filming
This kit new or vintage year prodused ???
It’s a re re
I got one
Enjoy it. There great
Needs 3s lipo
Not on that esc
@@rcoverland4459 I use 3s lipo brushless on all tamiya, totally destroys them
my favorite rc of all times
