Mark, I had one of those about 35 years ago. RC Car Action came out with 2 different articles to change it up. I actually did both of them. The first one to make it monster truck at the time. I had a Black Foot and Monster Bettle. It was a blast to drive. I then was thinking about road course and Bolink was HOT at the time. Then RC Car Action came out on how to modify it for a road course. I was beating those Bolinks on the track. No one could beleave it was a modifid Grass hopper. Steve
I enjoyed the video. I think it demonstrates that there kits out there that build easily and are reasonably priced. It is a classic r/c car. Tamiya makes a clear coat acrylic paint for the hard plastic surface. For new r/c drivers, especially kids, the Grasshopper is great because you can take it out, even with a NIMH battery, and it will run for a very long time. Just avoid curbs, trees, mail boxes, etc.
I feel kits are the only way to go. To me a hobby grade rc is building it selecting the electronics painting it up yourself. Sure its more expensive but its how you want it with the best stuff on it. Rtr's are the dumbed down version of the kit version if there is that option. Its not as fun for me either. Just pull it out slap a battery and your done. I enjoy the building and making it from nothing into a car/truck etc ..
I freakin love him! He looks like he's goin over a sick jump!
Paint in this order, eyes, face, rim, helmet, go to a specialized store and by some proper brushes, two light mists of sealer, and don't rush let it dry well on each stage
That street driving is what made me swap out the motor for 540. I know shelf queen lol. My first true ish hobby grade car. Great video man.
Both channels dropping new content at the same time 👏👍
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
About 25 years ago my father bought me my first RC and it was a grasshopper talk about nostalgia lol LOVE it!!
Mark I can remember my first Grasshopper I built with the 540 playing with in the kitchen smoked up the tires and burnt the linoleum floor my parents had just had put in LOL I always loved that car
Got my Tshirt! Couple msm stickers too! Thanks Mark! Couple painting tips, wash the parts you will paint just like a body, thin your paints so you get full coverage in 2 to 3 coats drying between coats. Finally use spray enamel clear for a top coat. Great job though!
This takes me back, my first r/c car was Traxxas's very first RTR "The Cat"
Going after the old school RCs….that’s when you know your serious about the hobby lol… don’t forget about the Golden Arrow… was my real first RC 🚕
for a first time painting dude be proud of it. i've seen way worse by people that have done that many time
Lol the Dood is cross eyed and scared hahaha
Hey mark hobby lobby has stuff that eats ca glue. I stripped a hex out on a brand new set of tires. Had 1 race on the set. I bought that stuff and it ate the glue and was able to save the tire and foam. It does take awhile but to me it was worth it. Im not sponsored so tires are expensive. All the other thing i ha e tried messes the foam up
It’s awesome dude! When I was a kid I had one with a over powered trinity motor and the old servo type speed controller and the speed controller got stuck and it went full blast into a curb and the whole thing just blew to pieces…👍
That Tamiya paint stand you pointed to, I use the crap out of. Mine has changed colors from so much overspray.
He looks terrified! 😂 1st job is never great...keep at it Mark!
dude he looks great for your first one. i like his eyes lol looks like you had fun.
You can add a Traxxas Titan 12T for way more fun! Great build!
Back in the day, with the 380 motor and a 6 cell nicad used to get close to 1 hour run times. Add a 540 and you'll love it.

I like the skeleton on the railing behind you it's cool lol
My first RC was an original issue Grasshopper......i had a blast with that car
The trick to painting parts like that "man" is layers.
Testers oil paint is the best for plastic. You don’t have to seal it after either.
I’m thinking of building a super hopper, just a grasshopper with a 550 in it but put LEDs in the light buckets on the body and some other cool bells and whistles
Not bad for a first timer. I remember doing soldering for the first time. Wasn't as perfect as I thought it would be. But we all start somewhere 😉
oof I remember my first time soldering. it was horrible. then after I got better quality gear I'm finally good at it
Hey I have the same Lipos. I use the Traxxas 6 cell 1800mah packs in my Tamiyas cause their esc has no lipo cut off. The 1800mah is just as light or lighter than the lipo. Just get two of them or more. I love those buggies.
Masking tape helps. I use it when painting my model cars. Great video as always! 🙏🔥
🤣 his face expresión goes with your driving 🤣👍🏽
The driver looks like he ran the Baja 1000 all by himself while drinking 10 cases of Redbull 😲
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need to paint the roll bars Mark 🤔 if you don't want to mask you could use black paint pens.. Semi or matt though don't use gloss it's not so good lookin 😎 👍👍
I've never been into a Hobby Lobby before. Now I'll have to stop in.
I mask off the face, and then spray the helmet so that its uniform. Then paint the flesh, eye area, and last the black visor boarders.
Modge Podge is super good for lots of crafts but this isn’t one of them! (As you discovered) it’s basically like coating with thinned out white glue. Grumbacher “Picture Gloss Varnish” or Army Painter “Aegis Suit Satin Varnish” are my personal favourites! There are other brands out there that are great too!
Hobby Lobby and a Michael's in the same shopping complex👍👍
I used the regular Testors model paint on my guy from my scx10iiii it works you just need about 3 coats and for the eyes just use Sharpie pen point one
I had the hornet car back in the day
Looks good Mark
6:35 Regarding that plastic nub, I have two original Grasshopper chassis (The Hornet) and neither have that sprue there. I'd cut it out entirely, but just getting the bottom bit off like you did should be enough.
Oh, and the rear suspension on both the GH and GH2 chassis is basically useless, even with some modifications like AmPro's transmission brace, or a third shock mod. They're bouncers.
Of the Tamiya cars I have, I think the Stadium Blitzer (variant of the Falcon chassis), and Sand Viper (DT-02) have the most functional suspension.
I just wanted you to be aware that the stock TBLE-02S speed controller that came in the kit does not have the proper Lipo cutoff voltage. For extended running you'll want to put some kind of Lipo alarm in there.
Throw a 2s brushless system in there and you’re cranking about 35. Little slow, but a cool Tamiya classic.
Masking Tape, It really is your best friend in every situation
Looks like Homer Simpson behind that helmet, lmao!!! 🤣
You can always just repaint it right?
Hey mark...can you build a blitzer beetle on the tamiya Tuesday... 🤘😆
That would be sick
You can find some sweet miniatures for ur trx4 in the doll section at hobby lobby
Dude you gotta open her up! She's definitely beautiful!!👍👍🤙👽😎😳😲
That little plastic nubbin in the battery tray is supposed to be cut out completely, it is just an injection release sprue. if you don't paint a Tamiya driver like he is completely terrified then you didn't go it right! All of mine have a slightly to completely terrified look to them!!
Looks so fun bro
Dude looks liike the guy from total recal.......... Just before his eyes explode! Its awesome.
The modgepodge might have had reacted with the paint to cause this. This is 35+ years old technology, that was fast in the early 80's.
When are you building the grasshopper 2?
My first hobby grade car was the Tamiya hummer.
He looks fine!! A little scared but fine.
I feel for you, sir. Just went through a very similar figure for my Sandscorcher (open face helmet) a few months ago. I had hours of work into a tiny head/upper torso. Turned out fairly well but the lips for me didn't come out to good. Dude looks like he's wearing lipstick.
Should have used matte colours as overalls and seat belts also matte or get some aerosol matte finish lacquer so just the helmet would be shiny, don't paint the eye iris warm up a large sowing needle to get the proper scale of the Iris's by putting a hole in the eyes.
I use Testors Model Master paint for my styrene model kits.
Nail polish remover and cotton buds are your friend when doing the small detail stuff
Enjoy the day
Great video
It looks like they changed the chassis in the new remakes. And they didn't come with esc back then either
He looks terrified is all. No biggie. Lol
Great video nice car
Stig didn't look that bad. probably looks alot worse to you than us. Can only get better too!
Looks good, but you can take acetone wipe it off and redo it 😉
Nice 👍 build
You did better than me brother. I'm scared to do mechanical work on my cars and I know it's part of the hoddy. I have questions for you now if I ever get a chance
@John Lujan I have a arrma 20t 540 motor and I want to put in a 15t 540 motor and I dont know if I could or should
bro come on that's a good job too hard on yourself have to fail to succeed 💯💪👌
Tape off the roof that way you do not need to be careful with painting the black railing 👌
I like it have fun
We can tell by the look on your driver's face how you'll be driving that car. lol
“SOMEONE STOP THIS THING!”
-drivers face 2021
💀🤣🤣
Why do I remember that car being so much bigger as a kid
I cheat when I have a open visor helmet like that and just cut out a face part with the eye details from a magazine and glue it in there or I use some scrap Lexan or styrene and basically make “The Stig” 🤫
I don’t paint faces at all I know my painting strengths and weaknesses faces are definitely a painting weakness 😔
You should put lights for his eyes. I can’t take credit for that idea. I stole it from the comments from another channel. It would be pretty cool though.
That driver has seen some SH*#%@#!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good afternoon bro
Testers aren't good , you were better off getting the tamiya or Vallejo, also you can strip the paint with , Las totally awesome ! Have fun and buy taklon brushes.
Build another one to drive
The eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chicks dig scares lol . and itle give it a little nestalga
🔥💕👌👍
Lmao driver looks like he knows YOU are driving.
He has the big, Oh $hit look. 😂😂😂🤣
Your driver is fine. Just don't drive slow. LOL! Just got into Tamiya myself and of the 5 I've done only one has a driver in it. Trust me mine look much worse.
Tamiya driver looked good enough . Like you say not see that much of it. You are always your own worse critic when you paint
Lol the eyes are what make it realistic lol
Enamel paints are a much better choice.
Im sure theres a you tube video that will walk you through painting a helmet
Darn it. Late to the party 😅
It's just getting started!!!
Nice work a little bit too slow
.
Looks amped out ! Lol
That was my first car
tamiya tuseday
He looks soo scared
That oh shit moment. Sorry but it was funny. I couldn't done any better tho
The about to crash dude 😅
Careful, Tamiya's are like peanuts; you can't do just one.
Look like your driver is high😂😂😂
